Abstract
With the release of Excel 2007 and SQL Server 2008, Microsoft has provided actuaries with a powerful and easy to use predictive modeling platform. This paper provides a brief overview of the SQL Server system. It then discusses the “Data Mining Client for Excel 2007” and explains how actuaries can use Excel to build predictive models, with little or no knowledge of the underlying SQL Server system.
