Excel Spreadsheet Automation with the QUERY Formula


Pull data, automate spreadsheets, and more with the QUERY formula.

The CData Excel Add-In for Outreach.io provides formulas that can edit, save, and delete Outreach.io data. The following three steps show how you can automate the following task: Search Outreach.io data for a user-specified value and then organize the results into an Excel spreadsheet.

The syntax of the CDATAQUERY formula is the following: =CDATAQUERY(Query, [Connection], [Parameters], [ResultLocation]);

This formula requires three inputs:

  • Query: The declaration of the Outreach.io data records you want to retrieve or the modifications to be made, written in standard SQL.

  • Connection: Either the connection name, such as OutreachConnection1, or a connection string. The connection string consists of the required properties for connecting to Outreach.io data, separated by semicolons.

    You must use OAuth to authenticate with Outreach. Set the InitiateOAuth connection property to "GETANDREFRESH". For more information, refer to the OAuth section in the Help documentation.

  • ResultLocation: The cell that the output of results should start from.

Pass Spreadsheet Cells as Inputs to the Query

The procedure below results in a spreadsheet that organizes all the formula inputs in the first column.

  1. Define cells for the formula inputs. In addition to the connection inputs, add another input to define a criterion for a filter to be used to search Outreach.io data, such as Industry.
  2. In another cell, write the formula, referencing the cell values from the user input cells defined above. Single quotes are used to enclose values such as addresses that may contain spaces.
    3. =CDATAQUERY("SELECT * FROM Accounts WHERE Industry = '"&B1&"'",";Provider=Outreach",B2)
  3. Change the filter to change the data.
