Workbook Connect for Azure SQL Database
Turn your Azure SQL Database into a workspace your whole team can use. Browse, edit, and publish data directly from Excel, with the security and scalability of Azure built in.
Your spreadsheet, connected to Azure SQL
Browse a table, edit a value, and publish it straight back. Excel and Azure SQL Database stay in sync, with no exports or copy-paste in between.
A familiar interface for your cloud database
Azure SQL Database is built to scale, but most of your colleagues are not database experts. Workbook Connect bridges that gap by exposing your tables inside Excel, so anyone on the team can read and update master data without writing a single line of SQL.
Secure by default
Workbook Connect honors the access rules you already configured in Azure. Connect with Microsoft Entra ID (interactive MFA), Service Principal, or Managed Identity for automated and enterprise scenarios, or with SQL authentication, all over TLS 1.2 or higher and your existing firewall rules. Users only see and change what they are allowed to, and every action goes through your database, not around it.
No more export and re-import
Forget the cycle of exporting to CSV, editing locally, and importing again. Workbook Connect reads and writes straight to Azure SQL Database, so the data you see in Excel is the data in your cloud, always.
