    To move data from Excel to a SQL server, look at the Microsoft's app notes: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321686

    The PLC is not really a factor.

    If what you really want to do is get the PLC data into SQL and Excel is not really needed, then look at this software:

    Go to Automationdirect's website and look under software for the Dataworx software. It will log directly to SQL from the PLC.
