Обсуждение: Excel ODBC query loosing parameter when returning the query result directly to a pivot table.
Hi everyone,
I am using postgres odbc for quite a while within within excel using parameters (i.e. using ?s within the query).
When defining odbc queries in Excel I select "PivotTable Report" instead of "Table", thus creating a pivot table directly without having the raw data in an extra sheet.
Once created, I can alter the query and define parameter (s)linking to an excel cell.
Everything works well until I (save and) reopen the file and try to update: Than my excel crashs. :(
I did find out, that the parameter definition I defined before is empty when opening the file. When I do redefine it, everthing works well again until I (save and) reopen the file and try to update: Than my excel crashs. :(
So it's very reproduceable.
I am using the 32bit driver, latest version and I am running Excel 2010 and 2016.
Any idea whats wrong here?
Thanks
Andreas
Have you tried looking at the Excel.dmp file that should have been created by the crash. You might also want to look at the windows event log to see if it is any help. It sounds like a data type mismatch, but that is just a guess.

Thank you.
It is in fact a very long and well known excel problem, not specificly connected to postgres-odbc. See:

Thx for your help anyway!
