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

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.
I understand your frustration CSHF. My path with Access has been halted because of this significant loss.
Please could someone responsible for this from Microsoft tell us why this was done?

This article is slightly off topic to your question, it describes how "PowerPivot" has been limited in Excel 2013.

MS will NEVER officially reply to this question. MS "officials" reply to question in this forum extremely rarely.
Unofficially, the answer is simple. It is a way of extracting more money from customers.
