Default How to find internal connection

I've got an excel sheet that has a connection to an external source.
However, I have the wrong DSN, apparently on my machine.

No one in my department remembers the DSN name, etc.....
How can I go into an excel workbook and find out what connection is supposed
to be there, in order, to fix it on my system?

go to a person who has a working connection and check its parameters.

the point is - this is a sheet that's been newly resurrected, and no one we
know, in our group has a working connection
