Excel connecting to SQL locks up
I have a spread sheet that connects to an outside database and draws data from predetermined views.
This spread sheet has 20 connections.
When I first start the spread sheet up it almost completely locks up. The database slows down horribly as well.
After about 5-10 minutes the spread sheet finally delivers an error message like the following:
The following data range failed to refresh:
datasets.mydomainname.com program 2017 product
Continue to refresh all?
If I click "yes" it finishes its data refresh and all is well.
If I look under data, connections, this connection does not seem to exist. I would love to find this connection and delete it. This spread sheet is supposed to be 2018 and all 2017 data is outdated.
I am using Excel 2013 and am connecting to SQL server 13.0.4451
Thoughts??
