I would create a QueryTable in Excel (details depend on your version of Excel -
always worth telling us), e.g. Data / Get External Data / New Database Query.

If you have a relatively small number of clients then you could just query the
whole table into Excel and use VLOOKUP functions to extract the fields relevant
to the client you type in.

If you have a large number of clients then you could use a Parameter query -
where the specific client's information is retrieved when you type the name into
a specific cell.

I suggest you explore those areas and come back with a more specific question if
you get stuck.
