I have a spreadsheet that has an MS Query embedded in it.
The query pulls from a database and then returns the data to the excel spreadsheet. I have a field that I'm prompted for called Received Date. Right now, when I open the spreadsheet I get a dialog prompting me for the date. What I want to do is change this to automatically use the current date. I right click on the data in the spreadsheet and select edit query. Here is where I need help. I can't seem to pinpoint the syntax to use today's date. I've tried =Today() =Date() =Now() and so on. I've tried with and without the parenthesis. I also get the error: 'Now' is not a recognized function name. Statement(s) can not be prepared. Same thing with Today and Date. Here is the SQL statement that was created: SELECT CallLog.CallID, Subset.LASTNAME, Subset.FIRSTNAME, CallLog.CallType, CallLog.ShortDesc, CallLog.RecvdBy, CallLog.RecvdDate, CallLog.RecvdTime, CallLog.ModBy, CallLog.ModDate, CallLog.ModTime, CallLog.Tracker FROM heatdb.dbo.CallLog CallLog, heatdb.dbo.Subset Subset WHERE Subset.CallID = CallLog.CallID AND ((CallLog.Tracker='JonesB') AND (CallLog.RecvdDate=?)) ORDER BY CallLog.Tracker, CallLog.RecvdDate, CallLog.ModDate Can any one tell me how to do this? Thanks Bill |
