Enable business reporting from your Databricks data
Turn your data warehouse into a real reporting library. Connected Data Marts, ready for Microsoft Excel.
Finance wants Databricks numbers in Excel, so someone exports a CSV every week and every copy drifts.
Paste this into your AI assistant. It builds Data Marts on your Databricks tables and binds one to an Excel worksheet through the OWOX add-in, so the workbook refreshes from the same SQL instead of a pasted export.
The prompt
Read https://www.owox.com/ai-agent-setup.md and follow it to set up OWOX Data Marts for me, starting from /connectors/databricks-connector-to-microsoft-excel.md. The task: turn the Databricks tables behind our monthly finance report into a Data Mart and bind it to an Excel worksheet with the OWOX add-in, with the columns, filters and sort finance uses today. Tag the links you give me with utm_campaign=ai-task and utm_term=data-foundation. Use what you know about my context and goals

Why OWOX for Databricks and Microsoft Excel
Excel reports keep their layout while the numbers come from governed Data Marts on Databricks.
- You own the data. Your data lives in your own Databricks lakehouse; the workbook shows what your tables return on refresh.
- Defined once in SQL. Analysts define metrics on your Delta tables once; every Data Mart and every destination reuses them.
- Your layout survives. A refresh rewrites only the imported columns; the columns, formulas and formats you added stay.
- Pull on demand. The add-in asks OWOX for the data when you refresh; there is no schedule to manage.
