Advanced Features
This section details a selection of advanced features of the Microsoft Excel Online component.
User Defined Views
The component supports the use of user defined views, virtual tables whose contents are decided by a pre-configured user defined query. These views are useful when you cannot directly control queries being issued to the drivers. For an overview of creating and configuring custom views, see User Defined Views .
SSL Configuration
Use SSL Configuration to adjust how component handles TLS/SSL certificate negotiations. You can choose from various certificate formats;. For further information, see the SSLServerCert property under "Connection String Options" .
Firewall and Proxy
Configure the component for compliance with Firewall and Proxy, including Windows proxies and HTTP proxies. You can also set up tunnel connections.
Query Processing
The component offloads as much of the SELECT statement processing as possible to Microsoft Excel Online and then processes the rest of the query in memory (client-side).For further information, see Query Processing.
