1. Start Microsoft Excel 2010.
2. Open the Data Connection Wizard by going to the menu bar, and then clicking Data > From Other Sources > From Data Connection Wizard.
   
   The Data Connection wizard appears.
   
3. Select ODBC DSN as the type of data source you want to use to make a connection, and then click Next.
4. In the next Wizard step, select the UIM ODBC data source, and then click Next. The name of the data source in the list is the name you gave the UIM DataStore when you created its profile in the ODBC Data Source Administrator control panel.
5. In the next step, select a database and specific table from the data source.
   
   The database name you select is the name you gave to the UIM DataStore when you created its profile in the ODBC Data Source Administrator control panel. The database table you select depends on the type of UIM data you want to import into Excel (in this example, we are importing aggregate performance data).
6. In the final Wizard step, remember the Friendly Name assigned to this connection profile, then click Finish to save the database connection profile.
   

   Info

   Now that you created an Office database connection (.odc) file for the UIM database and specified table, you can use this existing connection to perform new database queries in future Excel sessions (on the Data tab, in the Get External Data group, click Existing Connections, then select the connection by clicking the Friendly Name). When you begin to work with data using an existing connection, Excel prompts you with the Import Data dialog box, which you can use to modify your database query. When you create a connection to the UIM database for the first time, you are always prompted with the Import Datadialog box; this dialog box is described in the next section.
