What is the Excel Connector?

Hi all,
 
Where can I get information on what the Excel connector is and how we can use it to our advantage. Could this be used in salesforce.com only or does it integrate with other platforms such as Eloqua?
 
Cheers.

The excel connector is strictly for salesforce.com.  It makes use of the Appforce API to allow salesforce.com data to be inserted, exported, and updated from within MS Excel.  You can get more info on it here:

From the following link ...

http://www.salesforce.com/developer/projects_toolkits.jsp#projects

"This Excel Add-in provides bi-directional access to the AppExchange API via the AppExchange Toolkit for Office, and is useful for cleaning and mass-updating salesforce.com-based data from within a spreadsheet. Updated features include access to Products2 and custom objects, API names or labels, simple query wizard, readable user names, and more.
"

I hope this helps

Harry
