title: Pass parameter from a cell in excel workbook to SQL Query
body: <p>Please note I have found solutions to this in <code>Excel 2007, 2010, 2013</code> etc but nothing that relates directly to <code>2016</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I bring in a query to Excel by using <code>Data / Get Data / From Database / From SQL Server Database</code>.</p>
  
  <p>What I want to do is restrict 1 column in the data it retrieves to a specific value. </p>
  
  <p>In my exact example there is a date column and I want a cell in the spreadsheet to pass the date value to filter the returned query data.</p>
