 # Connect Excel to Apache Hadoop in Azure HDInsight with the Microsoft Hive ODBC driver
 
 [!INCLUDE [ODBC-JDBC-selector](../../../includes/hdinsight-selector-odbc-jdbc.md)]
 
-Microsoft's Big Data solution integrates Microsoft Business Intelligence (BI) components with Apache Hadoop clusters that have been deployed in Azure HDInsight. An example of this integration is the ability to connect Excel to the Hive data warehouse of a Hadoop cluster in HDInsight using the Microsoft Hive Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) Driver.

-It's also possible to connect the data associated with an HDInsight cluster and other data sources, including other (non-HDInsight) Hadoop clusters, from Excel using the Microsoft Power Query add-in for Excel. For information on installing and using Power Query, see [Connect Excel to HDInsight with Power Query](../hdinsight-connect-excel-power-query.md).
