I understand this may be more of an oracle question but it does involve excel and if the mods determine this topic is unfit for this sub-forum then I apologize. with that, here is my question to you...

I have an oracle EBS database that I typically pull information from and enter in to excel to run various calucations. My question, is there any way to link excel to certain fields within EBS to automatically pull values? I imagine this is difficult due to authentication issues among other things, and to be honest I don't know much about the inner workings of oracle, but figured I'd check with you guys first. thanks.
