Data Source not found in Excel (Data/From other sources/From MS Query) connecting to PostgreSQL





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;

I set up an ODBC connection to a datamart with c:windowsSysWOW64odbcad32.exe.



I set up my Data Sources in the System DSN tab using the PostgreSQL ANSI driver.



When I go into Excel bring in the external data (Data Tab/From Other Sources/From MS Query) my connection is not listed in the box.



How can get my Data Source viewable here?



Would really like to get this resolved as I have numerous customers with the same issue.



WindowsOS ver is 7.0, Excel is from Office 10 (ver 14.0.6129.500 - 64 bit).

  • You're using 64-bit Office but you set up a 32-bit ODBC connection. You have to set up the 64-bit ODBC connection (use the odbcad32.exe that's not in SysWOW64) using the 64-bit PostgreSQL ODBC driver, or use a 32-bit Excel.

You're using 64-bit Office but you set up a 32-bit ODBC connection by using c:windowsSysWOW64odbcad32.exe instead of ``. You have to set up the 64-bit ODBC connection (use the odbcad32.exe that's not in SysWOW64) using the 64-bit PostgreSQL ODBC driver, or use a 32-bit Excel.



You may need to install a 64-bit version of psqlODBC if you don't already have one installed.
