Using Qualtrics as a Data Source for an Excel document

Is it possible to use the Qualtrics API or some other method to have Excel connect to the Qualtrics database to extract response data? I am trying not to use the Export/Import feature to get data into Excel. I would like for an Excel macro to query the Qualtrics response data and pull data into Excel.
Thanks in advance.

Because retrieving responses is a 3-step process using the Qualtrics API, it would be difficult to do it directly from Excel. You can write a web based script that uses the Qualtrics API to get the responses, then from Excel write a VB script to call your web based script.

If you are looking at some automated method of exporting data then you can use export automation option in data and analysis
