ODBC Connector

Shahara Anderson

Hello,

I am not very experienced with ODBC connectors, but I created the connection for Smartsheet to Excel using the directions. It works perfectly for me. If I share the sheet, will the connector work for them, or do they need to set up their connection? Does it matter what type of license they have?

Thank you!

Hey @Shahara Anderson,

I'd say unfortunately they would need to set up their own connection, as the documentation for the Smartsheet Live Data Connector ( http://smartsheet-platform.github.io/odbc-docs/#excel ) notes:

"Note: Excel does not provide a seamless way to save credentials within a workbook and can be unreliable. If you are looking to share data and analytics with others, Excel is not recommended."
