in excel | import external data | excel driver | selecting a workbook |
MSQuery will open the workbook but can not see any of the sheets as tables.
What is missing?

Thanks

Paul

Always best to name the range you want to import (EditNameDefine...)

Nick, Thanks for replying.

have gone through the steps to setup a new data source but there appear to
be no tables/sheets appearing in the excel workbook setup as a new data
source.
Some domino someplace is missing.

What version of Excel? Is MS Query installed on your system (you know
for a fact)?
For Excel 2003:
Data Import External Data Import Data...
File Type can be either "All Data Sources" or "Excel Files". Navigate
to Excel file, select it, click Open, and it should come up. Make sure
file is not protected. I just tried a test workbook that I protected
and that buggered the process up.
