SharePoint upgrade missing feature reference issue

While I tried to migrated the SharePoint 2010 Data base to SharePoint 2016 through the database upgrade approach , I received the below missing feature error

Database [database] has reference(s) to a missing feature: Name = [PowerPivot Feature 
                  Integration for Site Collections], Id = [1a33a234-b4a4-4fc6-96c2-8bdb56388bd5

usually if you follow this blog Link, you should be able to clean up the missing feature , if not by using the feature admin tool you should be able to clean up the faulty feature at the source . But in this case neither worked . SharePoint 2010 was not showing that this feature was activated , but the upgrade was failing in SharePoint 2013/2016 .

Hence i decide to do some digging myself  in SQL and try to resolve the issue , below are the steps followed to resolve the issue




1.      Open SSMS in source (SharePoint 2010 /2013), run the below script to find the tables in DB where the missing feature is referenced

USE [Name of the DB]
GO
SELECT t.name AS table_name,
SCHEMA_NAME(schema_id) AS schema_name,
c.name AS column_name
FROM sys.tables AS t
INNER JOIN sys.columns c ON t.OBJECT_ID = c.OBJECT_ID
WHERE c.name LIKE '%FeatureId%'
ORDER BY schema_name, table_name;

2.      Query result would provide the list of tables in SQL

table_name        schema_name   column_name
AllLists                  dbo                       tp_FeatureId
CustomActions   dbo                       FeatureId
Features              dbo                       FeatureId
FeatureTracking dbo                      FeatureId

3.      Open up each table in SQL and identify the row as per sample query

Select * from [data base name].[dbo].[tablename] where tp_featureID = ‘guid of missing feature’

Results would provide the webID of the website

4.      Open up any of the SharePoint server in the farm and execute the below query , this would list all the site and webs with the ID
5       
Get-SPWebApplication http://sharepoint.dev.symetra.com/ | Get-SPSite -Limit All | Get-SPWeb -Limit All | Select Title, URL, ID, ParentWebID | Export-CSV C:\InfoArch.csv –NoTypeInformation

6.      Navigate to the website and clean up the component which is referred by the feature .

I In my case there was a faulty power pivot library at SharePoint 2010 , I went ahead and cleaned up the library at 2010
