Use variables in sql statement
I've built an sql string to get records from a database and store to excel.
sSql = "SELECT * FROM myTableName" I want to replace myTableName with a variable (TableVar) to reference the tablename typed in Cell A1. I assigned the variable TableVar by doing the following: TableVar = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("sheet1").Range("B1").Va lue When I replace myTableName with TableVar, I get an error message that there is no such table as TableVar. What is the correct way to replace a table name with a variable? |
Use variables in sql statement
You already have the table name in a variable, so you just need to
concatenate that variable into your sSql variable (rather than typing the literal text TableVar). Do so like this: sSql = "SELECT * FROM " & TableVar That should get you on your way, as long as TableVar contains a valid name.

Is your code constructed like this?
Dim TableVar, sSql as String TableVar = trim(ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("sheet1").Range("B1 ").Value) sSql = "SELECT * FROM " & TableVar Note that space after FROM; I've missed a few of those myself. -Glenn Ray "Markantesp" wrote: I've built an sql string to get records from a database and store to excel. sSql = "SELECT * FROM myTableName" I want to replace myTableName with a variable (TableVar) to reference the tablename typed in Cell A1.
