To delete data from a SQL Server database using OfficeScripts, you would typically follow a similar approach as appending data. However, instead of making a POST request, you would make a DELETE request to the server-side endpoint that handles the database operations. Here’s an example of an OfficeScript that demonstrates the concept:
function main() { // Define the data to be deleted let data = { id: 12345 }; // Send a DELETE request to the server endpoint fetch('http://your-server-endpoint', { method: 'DELETE', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }, body: JSON.stringify(data) }) .then(response => { if (response.ok) { console.log("Data deleted successfully."); } else { console.log("Failed to delete data."); } }) .catch(error => { console.log("Error occurred: " + error.message); }); }
Please note that this code assumes you have a server-side endpoint (http://your-server-endpoint
) that accepts the DELETE request and handles the database delete operation. You need to replace http://your-server-endpoint
with the appropriate URL for your server-side endpoint.
The example uses the fetch()
function to send a DELETE request to the server endpoint. It includes the appropriate headers and the JSON payload containing the data to be deleted. The response from the server is then checked to determine the success or failure of the operation, and the corresponding message is logged to the console.
Remember to implement the server-side logic to handle the DELETE request and perform the necessary database delete operation using SQL Server-specific libraries or frameworks.
Please note that OfficeScripts are currently only supported in Excel for the web and Excel Online. They are not available in the desktop version of Excel.
