Download data from website
I am building a reporting solution with Excel 2000. I would like the
spreadsheet to be able to download data from SQL Server on our website. The data will go into a specific range on my spreadsheet on which further calculations can then take place. If possible I want this to be controlled from Excel i.e. User will press a button on a customized Excel toolbar which will then run some code to carry out the above. Can this be done. Thanks in advance Sanjay |

Yes, that all can be done.
To start, try using Data | Get External Data, New Database Query... you can record a macro while you do that, which will give you the basic code that you need to connect to the SQL server.

Is there any way to try and get the information from an ASP page instead of
directly from the SQL Server. Thanks Sanjay "Juan Pablo Gonzalez" wrote in message ... Yes, that all can be done.

Hi Sanjay,
Sanjay Singh wrote: Is there any way to try and get the information from an ASP page instead of directly from the SQL Server. Yes - instead of a new database query, you would build a new web query via Data | Import External Data. You can specify what table(s) you want to import and where you want to put them. It should do what you're looking for. -- Regards, Jake Marx MS MVP - Excel www.longhead.com [please keep replies in the newsgroup - email address unmonitored] |
