Connect to SQL Server Directly from Excel

Use Query Builder or SQL to Import Data You Need

Visual Query Builder allows you to choose a table to import data from, select the columns from this table and related tables, and set filter conditions and data ordering options visually. If you need to select data more precisely, you can use SQL to select data you need.

Before finally importing data you can preview data and verify the query in a Data Preview window.

Instantly Refresh Data Whenever You Need

It's very convenient to always have fresh data from the database right in your workbook. Imagine, you have performed data analysis in your Excel workbook, built some charts for your SQL Server data, and you can re-read data from the source and update all this to the current state by just clicking a button on the ribbon whenever you need.

Edit SQL Server Data Like Usual Excel Spreadsheets

To edit SQL Server data in Excel you need just to click the Edit Mode button on the ribbon before editing, and then you can edit data just like you usually do it - add or delete rows, modify cell values, etc. All the changes are highlighted so you can easily see which data is changed.

After you finish editing, simply click Commit to write changes to the database or Rollback to cancel changes.
