Hello,

I am looking for some "best practice" information on how to properly setup a comparison of SQL data -vs- an Excel spreadsheet. I've never performed this task before, and will likely have to do more in the future. How can I define the range of cells to be used from the xls? There are over 1000 rows in the xls, so a Select * from dbo.table where dbo.column = 'x' just isn't practical.

Any information/direction that's out there is most appreciated!

Many thanks

russell

i'll usually import the spreadsheet to mssql, then can execute regular t-sql against it.
