Hi Koushik Dutta,

Unfortunately, I don't have the MS Office available for OSX, therefore the steps for setting the ODBC connection up will be general rather then very specific:

1. You need to download and install iODBC driver manager
2. Download and install the MySQL ODBC 8.0 Driver
3. Configure a data source in iODBC configuration dialog.
You will need to put the key-value pairs manually

DRIVER=MySQL ODBC 8.0 UNICODE Driver
SERVER=localhost
USER=<your_user_name>
PASSWORD=<your_password>
DATABASE=<your_database_name>

4. Save the DSN and try testing it using the Test button inside the ODBC Admin.

5. Open Excel and choose importing data from external source where ODBC should be in the list of available options. After that it will display the list of available data sources. Choose the DSN you created.

As I mentioned before, the steps are only the basic ones and you might need to adjust your actions and use the common sense when following them.
