I cannot see this feature in Access 2013...was it really discontinued?

I understand your frustration CSHF. My path with Access has been halted because of this significant loss.
AHHHH! Was just upgraded to Office 2013 here at work and am extremely disappointed Pivot Tables have been removed from Access. They were such a great timesaver, had used them extensively for quick results. Bad idea, Microsoft.
Hi Tom
Thanks for the clarification.
I can see why that might be the justification for dumbing down Access but it must still be by far the biggest low-mid range PC database out there. How many Access databases are there? Many millions, I suspect. Is that a drain on resources, or a massive profit opportunity?
In my humble opinion, Microsoft should have been investing heavily in Access since 2003, not pulling the plug on it.

His comment is off the mark. There is no A2013 version that supports pivot tables.
If I read the tea leaves correctly MSFT realized it would be too much work to maintain the Access version of Pivot*, while they had a perfectly suitable tool over on the Excel side, with is also much better aligned with the message that Excel is for data analysis. There is a cost associated with "keeping what we have", and that cost was deemed too high.
Hey Rohn007 thanks for commenting.
So, which version of Access supports PivotTables?
Have I missed something?
