I have had the unfortunate pleasure of having to integrate SQL and Excel for my start up. A provider's tool that we need only works in Excel, so I have to bring data from SQL into Excel, process it and then put it back into the DB. Then all of our real data processing is built with python. So far I have just used VBA/ODBC to handle everything, but for obvious reasons, I hate it.
I'll definitely give this plugin a try.
