Default How do I access data stored in a SQL server for vlookup function?

My goal-- type in a client number in cell A1 and have a client name appear in
cell B1. Want to use a IF function with an embedded Vlookup function in cell
B1. If there is a value greater than .01 in cell A1 than the Vlookup is to
retrieve the name of client. The problem is that the data is stored in a SQL
server. How do I access that information without actually importing it to a
excel worksheet first? The Vlookup function probably cannot handle this, but
I wanted to give you an idea of what it is that I am trying to do.
