Want to format data
Is this an Excel question or an SQL question? Your post says you have
the data in Excel and that SQL is dropping the lead apostrophe and
leading zeros. I know nothing about SQL, but can you declare the
variable in SQL as text so it will read those values as text?
As a workaround, if you write a VBA script that writes the data out of
Excel and into a text file, can you import the text file into SQL? The
VBA would look like
sub WriteToTextFile()
dim OutputString as string
open "c:\abc.txt" for output as #1 'write to a file called abc.txt on
your C: drive
range("a1").select 'change this cell reference to the upper left
corner of your data
do until activecell.value = "" 'perform loop functions until encounter
a blank row
outputstring = activecell.value & activecell.offset(0,1).value
print #1, outputstring
outputstring = ""
activecell.offset(1,0).select
loop
close #1
end sub
