Salesforce Connector for MS Access How to Get Report

Introduction

In this article we will delve deeper into Salesforce and MS Access integration, and will learn how to get report. We are continuing from where we left off. By this time, you must have installed ODBC PowerPack, created ODBC Data Source, and configured authentication settings in your Salesforce account .

So, let's not waste time and begin.

Use Query Builder to generate SQL query

  1. The first thing you have to do is open Query Builder:

    ZappySys API Driver - Salesforce
    Amazon Ads Connector can be used to get Amazon advertisements using Amazon Advertisements API, download various advertisement-related reports.
    SalesforceDSN
    Open Query Builder in API ODBC Driver to read and write data to REST API
  2. Then simply select the Get Report endpoint (action).

  3. Continue by configuring the Required parameters. You can also set optional parameters too.

  4. Move on by hitting Preview Data button to preview the results.

  5. If you see the results you need, simply copy the generated query:

    Get Report
    Required Parameters
    Metrics Select the value from the dropdown
    Optional Parameters
    Record Type keywords
    State Filter
    Campaign Type
    Segment
    Report Date (yyyyMMdd)
    SELECT * FROM get_report
    WITH
    (
        "RecordType" = 'keywords',
        "ReportDate" = 'today',
        "Metrics" = 'abcd-1234-metrics'
    )
    Query Builder
  6. That's it! You can use this query in MS Access.

Let's not stop here and explore SQL query examples, including how to use them in Stored Procedures and Views (virtual tables) in the next steps.

SQL query examples

Use these SQL queries in your MS Access data source:

How to Get report

SELECT * FROM get_report
WITH
(
    "RecordType" = 'keywords',
    "ReportDate" = 'today',
    "Metrics" = 'abcd-1234-metrics'
)

Get Report in MS Access

  1. First of all, open MS Access and create a new MS Access database.

  2. In the next step, start loading ODBC data source we created:

    Load ODBC data source
  3. Then click next until data source selection window appears. Select the data source we created in one of the previous steps and hit OK:

    SalesforceDSN
    DSN selection
  4. Continue with tables and views selection. You can extract multiple tables or views:

    DSN Table Selection
  5. Finally, wait while data is being loaded and once done you should see a similar view:
