DAX expressions allow a user to create measures based on the data model, which can summarize and aggregate millions of rows of table data in seconds. Power Pivot primarily uses Data Analysis Expressions (DAX) as its expression language, although the model can be queried via Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) in a row set expression. This allows Excel to act as a self-service business intelligence (BI) platform, implementing professional expression languages to query the model and calculate advanced measures. This allows a user to build a ROLAP model in Power Pivot, and use pivot tables to explore the model once it is built. Power Pivot extends a local instance of Microsoft Analysis Services tabular that is embedded directly into an Excel Workbook.
It is available as an add-in in Excel 2010, 2013 in separate downloads, and as an add-in included with the Excel 2016 program.

If the version isn’t Office 365 Pro Plus or one of the other versions listed in the graphic, there will be no way to make Power Pivot appear.
Check the version of Excel 2016 by going to File->Account then look at what is listed. If you have Office Small Business Premium, which runs $12.50 a month you won’t get Power Pivot. Office 365 ProPlus, which has Power Pivot, will run you $12 a month. There is no guarantee that spending more money will provide Power Pivot though. How much more money is Power Pivot going to cost you? Well, if you have Office 365, you are paying $8 a month for the Office software, including Excel.
What about Office 365 Enterprise E1? Surely you would get Power Pivot functionality with that right? No. Looking at this graphic, this is no way lists all of the versions of Excel which Microsoft sells. A clip from Microsoft’s website intending to clear up what versions include Power Pivot.
