I have an ADO recordset that I created by declaring it as new and
adding all of the columns and data manually. I want to be able to
perform a SQL string on it to do aggregation and other things that SQL
provides. Is there anyway to do this?

A recordset is the result of a query, so you can't really query it. You will
need to use code to extract the values you need (or to step through and
calculate your aggregates). This is a bit of a hassle, but not too bad. The
Filter property can help here, as well as the Find method. Then a simple
loop through the recordset can retrieve or add or otherwise manipulate the
values.

I tend to use ADO against a database connection, but I believe that you can
also use it to query a closed workbook, so

1. where is the data coming from? if from a workbook in a reasonable data
structure, you could just query the closed workbook.
2. if not, you could use copyfromrecordset to put the data in a workbook,
save the book, then query the book.

I don't have time to work up an example right now I'm afraid, but the
suggestion might get you headed in the right direction.

The data is coming from an open workbook, and the range i want to get
it from can start with any upperleft cell. The purpose of this is to
have all data centralized in a single place, and just create random
QueryRange() views on different worksheets.
