Using Excel as an ODBC database

Question

I\'d like to know, how to create a database table in Excel, so that it may be used with ODBC

I want to use ODBC, and I have two options, either MS Access or Excel,

Answer 1

I had a similar problem with some data recently. The way I managed to get around it was to select the data as a range A1:XY12345, then use the Define Name tool to name the range. When you connect to the Excel workbook via ODBC, this named range will appear as a "table," while ranges that you actually defined (per Excel) as a table, do not.
