hi

if you want insert table from other data sources such as SQL Server , MS access Data base , oracle  etc it is possible . please follow the steps

Excel > Data Tab > From Other sources > from SQL server

 

Step1

 

 

you will get a wizard to connect SQL server

Enter server name \\ instance name ( if you have multiple instance )

or just type server IP or server name

 

 

enter user name and password > click next

 

 

choose database and table you need > click next > click finish > click ok

if ask password again please enter > click ok

The data will be displayed on excel

Insert Table on the "Insert Tab/ribbon" function  will insert a pivot table.

 

Alternative, if you want a table, that is for a presentation or to be set up with data filters, then by

completing the column headings, and first column row left hand board names, complete the table data in normal text, then on the "standard ribbon" click the "format as a table" button and select a design that is suitable.
