Filtering based on data in excel I was given an excel file with account numbers in them and told to write a query that returns the account numbers in the list that meet a certain criteria. While I was able to write the query in general without problems I don't know how to reference the excel document in the query. I worked around it by copy and pasting the account numbers into a 

WHERE ACCOUNT_NUMBER IN (...)

The problem is that the amount of account numbers I had was over 6000 while the max numbers in a IN list is 1000. I ended up doing it piecewise but there must be a better way. 

Any suggestions?
Use SQL Developer to (create the table and) load the data into a table.

From there, use a JOIN.
