SQL Spreads overview

What is SQL Spreads?

SQL Spreads is a cloud-based Excel Add-In that gives end users the ability to update data in SQL Server using Excel as an interface.

- Designer and Data Editor roles
- Automatic data validation
- On-premise and Azure SQL Server support
- Key Look-ups with Drop down lists
- Change Tracking and Conflict Detection
