Why don't I have the Get data option in Excel?

How do I enable data tool in Excel?

My Excel file got stuck in a mode that I had no idea what to do with it.

It just kept scrolling down through old entries in the same cell. I opened up the data tool, checked on "Show graph based on selections made" and "Add chart." They both are checked.

The problem is everytime I add a new cell/row or drag around the entries, I lose all my old records. I haven't set up a filter and I don't want to do so because of what my boss wants me to see and understand.

Is there any way that I can keep it set to not filter in order to be able to drag around the entries? Or are there any alternatives for that? What should I be doing?

Where is get data tab in Excel?

I have seen many sites for get data tab in Excel.

They say that is possible to enter the data in the get data tab and get a data table with this data. How can we do this?

The data sheet is used to enter, or "add data" into Excel. If you want to work with data already in Excel, the workbook is where you want to work.

It sounds like you are trying to use the Get Data functionality of Excel to get the data from a website into Excel. This does not work that way.

Why don't I have the Get data option in Excel?

I'm trying to pull data from a database using ADO in Excel VBWhen I try to click the Get data option, it opens up a new dialog box and says "The ActiveX control oledb is either not registered or not available".

I've tried: Unregistering and re-registering the ODBC driver. Changing the security settings on the ODBC connection to allow ODBC drivers. Registering the ADODB library (just in case I was missing something). None of these methods have worked. What can I do to fix this? What you need to do is make sure your Excel instance has the ODBC Drivers and Provider installed. You need to have the ADO.ODBC driver and the ADODB.Connection in your registry.

I always recommend using Excel's built in ODBC drivers for most purposes, but if you absolutely must use an external ODBC driver, I can usually get things working by installing both the ADO and ODBC drivers. I don't know if your ODBC driver is 32bit or 64bit, but if it is 32bit, you will need the 32bit version of the ADO. If you don't know which version of the ODBC driver you are using, you can run this command: odbcad32 -i.e. And it should tell you the version number of the 32bit ODBC driver you are using. To register the ODBC driver, you need to do the following: Open regedit and navigate to HKEYLOCALMACHINESOFTWAREODBC. Find the OLE DB Providers section and create a new key called OLE DB ProvidersODBC Driver DSN. Right click on ODBC Driver DSN and choose New > ODBC DSN. Create a new connection string and call it whatever you like. Click the Use this DSN button and select your connection string. Double click your connection string and enter the info. Right click your connection string and select Export. Save the file somewhere you can find it. Now you have the ODBC driver installed, and you can create a new connection with it, which will work in Excel.
