Usage Note 63340: You encounter slow performance when using the SAS® IOM provider for OLE DB in Microsoft products
 |  |  |  |
You encounter slow performance when using the SAS IOM provider for OLE DB through the new Microsoft OLE DB interface:
This issue occurs because multiple workspace server processes are started when you access SAS data in this way.
The issue occurs in products such as Microsoft Excel 2016, Microsoft Power BI, and so on. Microsoft stated that the processes are started due to the way schema data is being loaded.
To work around this issue, you can use the Data Connection Wizard (Legacy) if available. In the Data Connection Wizard, select Other/Advanced when asked What kind of data source do you want to connect to? as shown below:
In Microsoft Excel, select Get Data ► Legacy Wizards ► From Data Connection Wizard (Legacy) as shown below:
