The CONNX Excel Add-In can be used to edit or import data from a database table into an Excel spreadsheet. The Excel Add-In provides easy-to-follow steps to create the Excel data connection to the CONNX source and get the data from a single or multiple tables. If the data is just imported into Excel and changes are not required to be sent to the database, an SQL statement can be used to join multiple tables or limit the data shown. When editing data in a table, only a single table can be used per worksheet so the changes can be sent to the correct database table.

The CONNX Excel Add-In installs with the main CONNX installation, it does not appear in the CONNX menu, it is loaded when Excel starts. Selecting the CONNX tab in the CONNX ribbon, an Excel connection to a CONNX data source can be made or used to import data into the spreadsheet. In order to edit data, press the CONNX data task pane button and the CONNX task pane will show to the right of the Excel sheet. The CONNX task pane must be used to bring data into excel that will be edited with the changes sent to the database.
