Default Extracting data from Access in Excel

Could be possible with the use of a UDF, but seems like it could
potentially add quite a bit of overhead. Is it possible for you to
have a hidden sheet that hits your database and refreshes whenever the
workbook is initially opened? Then you could use simple VLOOKUP
formulas to go against that sheet.

Hello,

Wanted to know if there was any way of extracting data from Access by using
a "Vlookup type" function in Excel.

I have IDs in excel but want to enrich that data with information held in
Access..

Is this possible?
