    PowerPivot works well with me, but slicers show error on other users' computers.

    Hello friends,

    I made a powerpivot table on an , and it works well on my computer with at least 3 slicers.'

    I have no problems when sending it to another colleague (via Outlook), he is able to open the 2010 excel sheet.
    but when he tries to choose between the slicer options he gets the following msg:

    "Initialization of the data source failed.

    Check the database server or contact your database administrator. Make sure the external database is available, and then try the operation again. If you see this message again, create a new data source to connect to the database."

    How can others see the powerpivot table, and see different results when switching between slicer options? and without that fail msg?

    Thank you so much in advance!

    If the other user does not have PowerPivot installed, he can't use the slicers and will get that error message.
