Studio includes the Studio Add-in for Excel. The Microsoft Excel ribbon will include a Automate Run tab.

Important: A script developer can publish a script, which embeds it in a data file. Then script runners can open the Excel data file and run the script.
Note:

If you are running 32-bit Office, consider changing to a 64-bit Office installation or adding memory for optimal performance.

    query script commands

  6. If you are starting with a blank workbook, click Write Headers.
  7.  To change how the data will be downloaded, click Write Records and choose the option you want:
    • Append Data to Result File: Query will start to write new data after the last row of any existing data in the worksheet.
    • Overwrite Data in Result File: Query will overwrite any existing data. However, if downloaded data consists of fewer rows than was in the worksheet, the data in the additional rows will remain. For example, if your worksheet contains 100 rows of data and you run a query that downloads 75 rows of data, the last 25 rows will remain in the sheet.
    • Clear All Mapped Data from Result File: Starting at the Start Row, Query will clear existing data and write the new downloaded data.
  8. Click Run.
  9. To narrow the query, type a value or values in the Run time variable wizard box, and then click OK.
    Note:

    If you open a new instance of Excel, you will need to log on again.

To schedule a query, click Schedule, type a value or values in the Run time variable wizard box, click OK, and then fill in the scheduling details. For more information, see Schedule a Query run.
