So the fate… of the entire human race depends upon my wild guess

Actually, the quote that I really wanted to say was “So the fate… of the entire PowerPivot deployment depends upon my wild a** guess?!  WTF!!!”

Okay, I’ll stop now.

But seriously, PowerPivot for SharePoint for an existing farm installation can be complex and mind numbing at times – especially with the 20 steps involved to get it up and running.

To make this process a little bit easier with screenshots and additional guidance, we’ve published the PowerPivot for SharePoint – Existing Farm Installation guide. 

Hope this helps!  If you have any comments or thoughts, please place comments onto the linked guide so it is all consolidated, eh?!

Enjoy!
