Hi,

Please follow these steps to configure ODBC with excel.

  • In the data connection wizard, select ODBC DSN as the connection type and click next.
  • You’ll see several types of database including database and Access.
  • Select MS Access Database in the list and click on ‘Next’.
  • You can then select the Access database you wish to open and select the table you want to open up.
  • Now you import data into Excel by clicking Finish in the final step.
