Excel to SQL
I have a SQL database in Azure. My client wants to be able to connect to one of the tables in excel and update and add to the data from the spreadsheet directly in real time.
Is there a way to do this?
I had created an application in .net using a dataview they did not like it because not all the features that they use in excel are available. Most importantly easily increasing the font size, and filtering the data.

YOU ARE PLAYING WITH FIRE!!
as this will prevent any validation of that data before it is inserted into the database, plus security will need to be considered so that only certain users who should be allowed to enter data have access to open the Excel database.

The client can connect to Azure SQL from Excel spreadsheet by going to Data tab, then clicking 'From other sources" button, selecting "From SQL Server".
