Have you created a table in the database? Sometimes it’s somthing stupid like this.

Thanks for the good info.

A free Excel add-in that some people should find very useful for this type of thing is SQL Drill (http://www.sqldrill.com)

It works fine with MySQL using the connector as mentioned above.

It is a work in progress and any feedback is great. Thank you.

i did all the steps said above. however the MS query is not able to pick up the data tables. The error reads thus: “The specified table can’t be found, is locked by another user or by another query you’re running, or contains no valid fields.”

Any solutions? Have been hunting around the net for quite long.

BTW the same procedure can also be used to get data into pivots.
