Data Merge Wizard

The Data Merge Wizard allows merging Excel table data into database tables.

You can merge Excel data loaded from web pages, text files, or other sources.

The wizard inserts and updates row values in columns that exist in the target table.

The target table primary key columns must exist in the Excel table.

You can create formula columns named with target columns to meet these criteria.

The add-in updates the MergeDate and merge_date database table fields with the script generation time.

The add-in stores the configuration of this wizard. You can use the Merge button of the Save Menu later to repeat merging.

The wizard has four steps:

1. Selecting a provider
2. Connecting to a database
3. Selecting a target table
4. Executing the script
