I'm trying to restrict my query to the list of names in the Excel s/
s(spreadsheet).
Here are some steps given to me.  I will attempt to do this:

Drag a common field (perhaps EmployeeID) from the Excel table to the
Pers_Table.
This operation is called "creating an inner join". Run the query. It
will now restrict the query to the list in the Excel file.
