How Do I Copy a Connection in Excel?

You can't directly copy a connection in Excel. However, you can create a new connection based on the properties of an existing connection. Here's how:

1. Open the Data Source: Click the Data tab, then click From Other Sources and select the type of data source you want to connect to (e.g., From Microsoft SQL Server).
2. Select the Connection: In the Choose Data Source dialog box, select the existing connection you want to base your new connection on.
3. Edit the Connection: After selecting the connection, the Connection Properties dialog box will open. You can edit the connection properties, such as the server name, database name, or login credentials, to create a new connection with different settings.
4. Create the Connection: Click OK to create the new connection.

This method allows you to quickly establish a new connection using the settings of an existing connection, making it easier to connect to similar data sources.
