如何将 Excel 与 SQL 数据库连接？

Question

I work as a consultant for a data-driven decision making consulting projects, so every day, I need to cleaning data, analyze, as well as, present our financial analysis. Most of our tasks require the same type of financial data as well as financial analysis, so instead of using Microsoft Excel to do this, which is quite slow for solving a huge amount of data, I would like to ask for your help that is there any simple model (necessary software, method of importing and exporting data among different software) for data cleaning and analysis by SQL and Excel?

Answer 1

If using Excel 2019 try pressing the short key

Alt + A + P + N + D + S

or go to "Data" main menu, then in that there is a button "Get Data", then there is "From Database", then take "From SQL Database"

Specify the connection details and the query. The data will be loaded on to excel. From which you can start processing.

When you connect SQL to Excel, beware of then using Excel as if it were a database itself. There are a couple of tell-tale signs that you are using Excel as a database, some are listed at https://www.crmsoftwareblog.com/2022/03/yes-you-can-connect-excel-to-sql-server-dynamics-365-and-more/
