I have an Excel sheet with a data table linked to a SQL database table. Works great, refreshes, can sort and filter what I need. Awesome.
My question is, and after much Googling I've yet to find any good answer: can I add a column to the data table that I can manually enter stuff into that will stick with the associated line when the dataset is refreshed? So like I have some data, and I add a note to each line, and then when I refresh and a new line is added, the notes follow with the existing lines and a blank space is added in the note column for the new line.
From everything I've tried, the added information either moves around randomly when the data is refreshed. disappears when I refresh, or I end up with a read-only column I can't write into.
I'm using Excel 2010, and the end user of this sheet is on Excel 2007.
