How to write data from Excel to Databricks

Databricks · Oct 08, 2026 · Product Launches

Databricks Excel add-in lets business users write data back to Databricks without IT tickets

“Previously, I would have had to contact someone from the data team, log a ticket with IT, and wait for it to be approved.”

Databricks demonstrated an Excel add-in that allows non-technical users to read from and write data back to Databricks tables directly from spreadsheets, governed by Unity Catalog access controls. The tool removes the need for IT ticketing when business users need to update data platform tables. This is a product capability demo with minimal AI signal — it is primarily a data integration/self-service analytics story.
