Google for "excel ado" - plenty of non-cube examples.

What type of "SQL database" ?

bring data into an excel 2007 worksheet that is stored in a sql database
table?

The idea is to parameterize the "where" clause in the sql select statement
limiting the result set.

There are lots of examples in the literature with regard to bringing in
data
stored in cubes --- but not so much from data in sql table.

The basic issue is I want bring in descriptive information about say a
contract (things like description, signing date, etc). Cubes which most
(all) of the literature deals with are dealing with aggregations of
amounts
or "measures" and not so much about descriptions.

As always all suggestions are welcome.
