This US non-profit organization was facing a very difficult issue: how to import to SalesForce an old Excel Charitable Gifts and Donation Tracker template containing several years of donor data? The file was in a format that in no way was matching the required SalesForce import specifications. The file contained thousand of records.
Rather than going through a painful Excel spreadsheet related work, using filters and formulas, a process that could take hours or days, why not using custom SQL queries against the worksheet? A relatively simple macro containing a reference to the SQL library (ActiveX Data Objects) was able to accomplish the feat in a fraction of the time.Also, the reliability of this approach is much higher.
