For example, if cell *B6* contains the data marker *%%=Orders.OrderID*, where Orders represents the Orders table in a database, ExcelWriter will import the *OrderID* column to column *B* in the spreadsheet.
| Template | Spreadsheet generated from the template |

A data marker binds in script to a * data source * which may be an array, DataTable, DataSet, or DataReader, and may include modifiers. Data source and field numbers are 1-based. If ExcelWriter encounters *%%=#0[.field]* or *%%=[DataSource.]#0*, an error will occur.
