How to Import Collections Data from MongoDB into Excel

Accessing your MongoDB Collections data in Excel allows for straightforward data analysis without complex tools. Coefficient connects MongoDB directly to your spreadsheet.

This guide shows you how to import your MongoDB Collections data into Excel using Coefficient.

Step-by-step guide

Follow these steps to bring your MongoDB Collections data into Excel.

Step 1: Install and Connect Coefficient

First, install Coefficient for Excel. Go to the Insert tab, click “Get Add-ins,” search for Coefficient, and install it from the store.

Open the Coefficient add-in from the Home tab. Select MongoDB when prompted to connect a data source.

Log in to your MongoDB account and authorize Coefficient to access your data.

Step 2: Import Collections Data

With MongoDB connected, click “Import from…” in the Coefficient sidebar.

Select MongoDB as your source. Then, choose “Collections” from the list of available objects to import.

You can refine the data by selecting specific fields or applying filters before clicking “Import” to add it to your Excel sheet.

Step 3: Set Up Auto-Refresh (Optional)

Keep your Collections data in Excel automatically updated. After importing, find the auto-refresh options in the Coefficient sidebar.

Schedule refreshes hourly, daily, or weekly. Your Excel sheet will then sync automatically with the latest collection information from MongoDB.
