I’m looking to do a lookup from Excel to an Oracle DB<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Normally I’d just look up the list using a quick bit of SQLand export the results to Excel to analyse however, there are over 10k rows tolookup and the limit for the SQL is 1000 <o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Column 1 contains the list of customer numbers, which I need tolookup in the DB to find their reference number within a back office system. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Column 1 is called Ref1<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
The Table in the db is called data.ref_pol<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Fields to lookup in the table are REF1 and Ref 2<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Looking up the following where Excel Ref1 = DB Ref1 what isRef2 <o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Hopefully this will make sense?<o:p></o:p>
