Can you use SQL to query Excel tables?
Hi All,
This is the situation l currently have: 1) Financials database tables, linked to Access, Access query tables to extract data, Access crosstab query to get data in layout req'd. Result imported in Excel. This is what l would like to do: 2) Financial database tables, query table into Excel, crosstab query in Excel. I know how to download the financial tables using ADO & SQL so l my questions re 2) are as follows: a) I assume that the results of the intial query have to be written to an Excel sheet b) Can l then use a SQL statement within VBA to create a sheet with the results of the crosstab query? c) If b) can be done does anybody have any example code please? c) Will 2) be quicker / more efficient than 1) I have been told by a database expert that because of the layout of the tables within the financial database a single query cannot give the desired result. I am not an expert on SQL. I hope l have explained myself clearly. All advice gratefully received. Regards Michael beckinsale |
