    Is it possible to filter query to SQL Database

    I was using external database query to bring in SQL Server database. It's a very large database, and as a result, it hangs when using Pivot Tables. Is it possible to filter the data prior to coming into Excel so that I only work with a specific date frame of data?

    Yes, within the query that you're running, you're able to include the WHERE clause...
    SELECT [data elements]
    From [tables]
    Where [conditions]

    However, that is not really excel related, and more SQL based.
