Unity catalog + excel data access

Phani1 — Tue, 08 Jul 2025 11:59:48 GMT

Hi All,

Is there or can there be connectors built to have excel connected to the Databricks Unity Catalog Semantic models and help users to connect and browse through the data that is stored in Databricks?

Regards,

Phani

Hi @Phani1 ,

Unfortunately, there is no such native connector at the moment. Of course you can still connect Excel to Databricks and browse data from a specific catalog using ODBC, like they do in following documentation entry:

Connect to Azure Databricks from Microsoft Excel - Azure Databricks | Microsoft Learn
