Query SQL Server 2008 From Excel 2010

We've got some users who would like to query one of our SQL Server 2008 databases from within Excel 2010. I c开发者_如何学编程an see how to retrieve values from a SQL table or view from within Excel, but I cannot see how to pass SQL Server a specific query.

Thanks very much.

It's annoyingly not obvious but you have to choose the data tab then "from other sources" and then choose "From Microsoft query" this then allows you to build and edit a query just like the old days.

Shame on Microsoft for not updating this area with a great query generation tool. Would have been a good reason to upgrade.
