Remarks

Excel Calculation Services works with any provider that meets all of the following conditions:

  • It is one of the supported provider types.

  • It is installed on the same machine that is running SharePoint Products and Technologies.

  • The administrator has added it to the trusted data provider list.

Excel Calculation Services only retrieves external data from providers that have been included in the list of safe providers on the server. In order to determine if a provider is in the trusted data provider list, the Excel Calculation Services parses the connection string of the external data object in order to match the appropriate fields with the trusted data provider list.

A safe provider list allows Excel Calculation Services to only execute queries using drivers and data sources that are deemed safe by the administrator. It allows a set of drivers to be tested and guarantees that they work with Excel Calculation Services, but also allows customers to add additional providers needed in their organization.
