Once you [create an Excel connector in Crisp](/hc/en-us/articles/360053463854), complete the following steps to finalize the connection to Excel via OData feed: * From the **Connectors** screen in Crisp, locate the Excel tile you created, then select \*\*More menu three_dots.png \*\*> **Copy OData feed**.

If you want to set up Excel to automatically refresh data at a specified interval, complete the following steps: * From the *Table Design* tab, select **Refresh > Connection Properties**.\\ Excel_Outbound_013.png * From the window that appears, select **Refresh every \[60] minutes**.\ **Note**: We recommend leaving this setting at the default of 60 minutes.\\ Excel_Outbound_014.png * Select the **OK** button.\ Your data now automatically refreshes every 60 minutes. Data refreshes from the Crisp platform are also subject to the update frequency of the source data (e.g., your Target, KeHE, or UNFI connection). ####
