How It Works (3 Steps)
Step 1- Connect Excel to your app
Install the DataLinks add-in and log in with your Airtable or monday.com account.

Step 2 - Link your data
Pick the table or board you want to sync - it appears instantly in Excel. Or start with an Excel table and push it to your cloud data source.

Step 3 - Work in Excel
View, filter, analyze, and edit your data. When you're done, click Sync to push updates back automatically.

Conflict-Free Collaboration
DataLinks includes a built-in diff viewer that highlights every change that was made in Excel and in the cloud app (AirTable. Monday.com), since your last sync. This makes it easy to spot what changed and where. If multiple people update the same records - one in Excel, another in the browser - DataLinks detects the conflict automatically and lets you review and merge changes safely, so no edits are ever lost. It's version control for your data, right inside Excel.

Supported Connectors

Installing and configuring DataLinks
DataLinks runs on our QueryStorm platform. Installing DataLinks is a two-step process:
- Step 1: Download and install the QueryStorm runtime. This is a free 6MB installer that lets you install apps built with QueryStorm into Excel.
- Step 2: Once the QueryStorm runtime is installed, use it to download and install DataLinks as shown below:

When you attempt to set up a connection to a data source, such as Monday.com, DataLinks will prompt you for permission to access your data.

You can grant permission by logging in with your browser (your company's Monday.com admin needs to allow this first) or by copying and pasting in the API key. DataLinks encrypts any security tokens and API keys before storing them in a file.
