So I had Excel 2016 and to import data from Access, I would go to the Data tab, Get external data from Access, choose the database and the table and Excel would create a connection which I could customize with some SQL. I just switch to Office 365 and when I try to do the same, Excel creates a query with Power Query instead. What can I do so Excel creates a connection like in 2016?

Thanks.
