Requirements Analysis
Identify data needs, determine refresh frequency, plan query structure, and assess security requirements.
Excel SQL database integration creates direct connections between Excel workbooks and SQL databases (SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle). This includes Power Query connections for refreshable data, VBA automation for complex workflows, ODBC/OLEDB connections, linked tables, automated report generation, and two-way data synchronization. Users access real-time enterprise data directly in Excel.
Manual data exports from databases to Excel waste time, create version control issues, and introduce errors. SQL integration provides real-time data access, eliminates manual exports, ensures everyone works with current data, enables instant report refreshes, supports complex analysis in Excel, and maintains single source of truth. Businesses typically save 10-20 hours per week in data preparation time.
Finance teams pull real-time transactions for analysis. Sales departments refresh territory reports from CRM data. Operations teams monitor inventory levels from ERP systems. Executives view live dashboards without IT help. Analysts run complex queries directly in Excel. Reporting teams automate monthly report generation.
