In case anyone else found this old question. This method works for me....

  • open excel
  • login/confirm work account
  • open new sheet
  • Choose Get Data from Ribbon
    • Choose From Database
    • Choose From SQL Server
  • enter your ms fabric connection string
  • add details
  • Profit

We have some security sign-ins that we must complete prior to working w/ data. For example, if we use SSMS we have to use a specific authentication. I'm not aware if I have installed special connectors- I don't recall doing so.

Hi @sudhav 

 

As far as I know right now it is not possible. I think it might be coming in the future.
