Hi,
I have some data on a worksheet. I would like to use this data as input
into a SQL query (Select .... from Sheet1....group by....) and load the query
output on a different worksheet. How can I set up a Excel VBA macro with a
SQL that will allow me to do this?

It seem like you know SQL pretty well. You have afew choices.
Depending on the number of items you are returning your can setup a SQL
with multiple WHERE clauses to return all the items at one time or
retrieve the data multiple times with a single WBERE clause. there arre
two questions that need to be answered

1) Do you wnat to have the query automatically update?
2) Are the number of rows that are going to be returned each time the
data is retrieve the same number of rows or are the number of rows
returned going to be different each time the data is retrieved?

You can get data from a database using a query or opening the database
as a recordset like you would in Access. The recordset commands in
Excel VBA and Access VBA are the same as is probably the better method
is the number of rows going to be different each time the query is run.
the disadvantage with the recordset is you would have to manually run
the update or setup a timer to run the macro periodically. You can alos
use a workbook open event to retrieve the data as another option.

I think you need to think about which options you want before you ask
for the correct code to impliment the options you choose.
