    Hi Efi,

    When we select the versions of the SQL Server Data Mining add-ins for Excel, it mainly depends on the Office version. There were major additions in data mining functionality after the SQL Server 2005; that is, new tools were added in SQL Server 2008 but fewer after that. So as long as you have access to at least a 2008 Analysis Services server for data mining algorithms, you can use any version of the add-ins that matches your Office version. In your scenario, I suggest that you try the SQL Server 2012 SP1 Data Mining Add-ins for Microsoft Office:
