Exploring Excel: Accessing Data from SQL, Databases and Text Files

Extracting data from text files or from database management systems, such as Microsoft Access or Microsoft SQL Server, can be intimidating to Excel users. In this informative session, Excel expert David Ringstrom, CPA, walks you through the process of getting the data you need from databases or from text files into Excel.

Why Should You Attend:

David shares techniques for working with your data in a variety of ways, such as using worksheet functions to summarize data, querying text files and databases from within Excel, creating self-updating links to databases and other data sources, and more.

David demonstrates every technique at least twice: first, on a PowerPoint slide with numbered steps, and second, in Excel 2016. He draws to your attention any differences in Excel 2013, 2010, or 2007 during the presentation as well as in his detailed handouts. David also provides an Excel workbook that includes most of the examples he uses during the webcast.
