Excel Add-In for GitHub

Build 25.0.9434

Comments

Lists comments on gists.

Table-Specific Information

Select

The add-in uses the GitHub API to process WHERE clause conditions that are built with the following columns and operators:

  • GistId supports the '=,IN' comparison operators.
  • Id supports the '=,IN' comparison operators.

For example, the following queries are processed server-side:

SELECT * FROM [Comments]
SELECT * FROM [Comments] WHERE [GistId] = 'Val1'
SELECT * FROM [Comments] WHERE [Id] = 'Val1'

The add-in processes other filters client-side within the add-in.
