How to connect NocoDB and Microsoft Excel
Create a New Scenario to Connect NocoDB and Microsoft Excel
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a NocoDB, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, NocoDB or Microsoft Excel will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find NocoDB or Microsoft Excel, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the NocoDB Node
Select the NocoDB node from the app selection panel on the right.

Configure the NocoDB and Microsoft Excel Nodes
Next, configure the nodes by filling in the required parameters according to your logic. Fields marked with a red asterisk (*) are mandatory.
Set Up the NocoDB and Microsoft Excel Integration
Use various Latenode nodes to transform data and enhance your integration:
- Branching: Create multiple branches within the scenario to handle complex logic.
- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that don’t require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.
- Code: Write custom code or ask our AI assistant to do it for you.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring NocoDB, Microsoft Excel, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the NocoDB and Microsoft Excel integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between NocoDB and Microsoft Excel (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect NocoDB and Microsoft Excel
NocoDB + Microsoft Excel + Slack: When a new record is added to NocoDB, a new row is added to a specified Microsoft Excel table. Subsequently, a Slack message is sent to a public channel notifying the team about the new record.
Microsoft Excel + NocoDB + Airtable: When a new row is added to a specific table in Microsoft Excel, the data from that row is used to create a new record in NocoDB. This new record in NocoDB then triggers the creation of a record in Airtable.
