In Excel, go to Data > Get Data > From Other Sources > ODBC > Select your DSN. Next, select tables and/or queries from Peliqan to load in Excel. <aside>
💡 If you want to work with queries written in Peliqan, make sure to set the option “Create as view” in Peliqan for that query, so that it is visible in the data warehouse and hence in Excel. </aside> The selected tables will be loaded in Excel and can be refreshed at any time: You can also use Power Query in Excel. In Excel go to Power Query > New Source > Other Sources > ODBC > Select your DSN.
