Microsoft's database access files (including ODBC drivers for Excel, Access, MS SQLServer etc. ) can be installed using the redistributeable ( that mean freely downloadable) file named 'mdactyp.exe'. Feb 21, 2017 When configuring a 32 bit ODBC datasource for an Excel file created in Microsoft Office 2010 or above you need to have the driver for.xlsx files. The 32 bit version of this driver is not installed by default with Office 2013 or above. To add this driver you need to install the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable.
If you want to import data into Excel for Mac from a database (for example, from FileMaker Pro), you need an Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) driver installed on your Mac. The driver you get depends on which version of Excel for Mac you have.
Excel 2016 and laterExcel for Mac 2011
The instructions below apply to Excel 2016, 2019 and Office 365 fo Mac.
These versions of Excel do provide an ODBC driver for connecting to SQL Server Databases. On the Data tab, click New Database Query > SQL Server ODBC. Then use the dialog boxes to import the data.
If you are connecting to other ODBC data sources (for example, FileMaker Pro), then you'll need to install the ODBC driver for the data source on your Mac. Drivers that are compatible with Excel for Mac are available from these companies:
Important: As of August 2016, Excel 2016 for the Mac was updated from 32-bit software to 64-bit software. To see if you have this update, click the Excel menu > About Excel. If you have version 15.25 or later, you have the 64-bit version. The 64-bit update helps Excel run faster, and makes it more reliable when working with very large files. However, if you are using a 32-bit ODBC driver from one of the companies listed above, it may cause Excel to crash when connecting. To avoid this, install a 64-bit driver from the company’s website.
This version of Excel does not provide an ODBC driver. You must install it yourself. Drivers that are compatible with Excel for Mac 2011 are available from these companies:
After you install the driver for your source, you can use Microsoft Query to create new queries or refresh existing queries that were created in other versions of Excel, such as Excel X, Excel 2004, and Excel for Windows. For more information, see Import data from a database in Excel for Mac 2011.
