How do you connect to MS Excel using MySQL?
Skill-Lync
When analysing SQL data, Microsoft Excel can come into play as a very effective tool. Excel is instrumental in establishing a connection to a specific database that has been filtered to meet your needs. Through this process, you can now manipulate and report your SQL data, attach a table of data to Excel or build pivot tables.
In order to safeguard the data in your databases, this connection must be verified by an SQL login. In order to update the content from the SQL database, your connection can be refreshed.
Let us now look at a step-wise procedure to use Excel to connect to an SQL database:
- Firstly, download the MySQL Connector for Excel. To do so, open your browser, and search for “MySQL for Excel download”
