When registering an MS Excel connection Aqua Data Studio allows you to pick directories containing Excel files. Within the Location section click the Add button to select additional directories. Directories appear as Database nodes in the Schema Browser. All Excel files within a directory will be listed as Schema nodes. Each sheet within an Excel file will be listed as a table. Review MS Excel Query Reference for more details.

Info

If the same file name exists with both .xls and .xlsx extensions in a directory, the .xlsx file will always be used.

For example, if there are two files sample.xls and sample.xlsx:
- The schema tree will show sample.xlsx.
- When running the query select * from [sample].[Sheet One], it will query sample.xlsx.

The connection fails if the path of any added directory is invalid. You can see the error message when you expand the tree node of the registered server. You can add consecutive entries to a new line or separate consecutive entries using a semicolon (;). Ensure there is no white space between two entries.

Filter Examples:

The filter shown below is set to exclude all databases except those that start with "aq". This is similar to the above example where all schemas, except the XXPKD schema, are excluded. Then, there is an "Object Folder" filter on the Tables folder, which excludes everything except those that start with "forum".
