I have multiple SQL queries that I build in PowerQuery.
How ever I would like to code those in VBA.
But after internet search, I still can not find my way to connect properly to the SQL tables.
I have problem in my connections string I suppose.
Please advice.
Attached is the PowerQuery querie.
Let me know please.
let
Source = Sql.Databases("EU002VM0353"),
EPV2P9028 = Source{[Name="EPV2P9053"]}[Data],
dbo_vw_pbi_01_fact_inspection_state = EPV2P9053{[Schema="dbo",Item="vw_pbi_01_fact_inspection_state"]}[Data],
#"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(dbo_vw_pbi_01_fact_inspection_state, each ([QCF Is required] = true) and ([Is NA] = false) and ([WS status] = "Active")),
If you want to get data directly from sql server to your excel sheet, you can use this piece of code:
'Define variables
Public con As Object, rs As Object, cmd As Object
Public Const provider As String = "SQLOLEDB"
Public Const server As String = "ServerName_or_IP_Adress"
Public Const database As String = "Database_Name"
Public Const serverUser As String = "ServerUser_(sa)"
Public Const serverPass As String = "xxx"
Public Const sheetName As String = "Query_Output_Sheet_Name"
' "Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.8 Library" reference must be selected
Private Sub Query()
Dim con As ADODB.Connection
Dim cmd As ADODB.Command
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Sheets(sheetName)
Set con = New ADODB.Connection
con.ConnectionString = _
"Provider=" & provider & ";" & _
"Data Source=" & server & ";" & _
"Initial Catalog=" & database & ";" & _
"User ID=" & serverUser & ";" & _
"Password=" & serverPass & ";" & _
"Trusted_Connection=yes;" & _
"DataTypeCompatibility=80;"
con.Open
Dim Query As String
Query = "Select * from TableName"
Set cmd = New ADODB.Command
cmd.ActiveConnection = con
cmd.CommandTimeout = 600
cmd.CommandText = Query
Set rs = cmd.Execute(, , adCmdText)
If rs.EOF = False Then ws.Cells(1, 1).CopyFromRecordset rs
rs.Close
con.Close
Set rs = Nothing
Set cmd = Nothing
Set con = Nothing
End Sub
Connection variables defined as public, so you can call them from other modules or userforms. You just need to fill variables and sheet name (which you want to get the data)

Dim ConnDB As ADODB.Connection

Dim ConnStr As String
Dim SQL_Query As String

If Not RecSet.EOF Then
ThisWorkbook.Sheets(ClaimSheet).Range("B6").CopyFromRecordset RecSet
RecSet.Close
Else
MsgBox "No Records Found"
End If
I'm trying to run the above VBA code to execute a stored procedure (Pivot_Claims) and paste the results into ClaimSheet. I am getting the error 'Operation is not allowed when the object is closed.' which pointes to the ' If Not RecSet.EOF Then' line.
You need to turn the count off on the stored proc.
SET NOCOUNT ON
I have this VBA code that issues a SQL Server query after a successful connection but the query returns no records (e.g., -1)
Function invested_funds() As Integer
Dim c As ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Dim connectionstring As String
Dim sql As String
connectionstring = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=DESKTOP-2TTG3GQ\SQLEXPRESS;" & _
"Initial Catalog=DB;" & _
"Integrated Security=SSPI;"
Set c = New ADODB.Connection
Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
c.Open connectionstring
sql = "select [DB].[dbo].[db].[CSRoot] " & _
"from [DB].[dbo].[db] "
If c.State = adStateOpen Then
Debug.Print ("Connected") 'This prints!
End If
Set rs = c.Execute(sql)
Debug.Print (rs.RecordCount)
invested_funds = CInt(rs.RecordCount)
End Function
However, I know records exist and the exact same query in SSMS does indeed return records
select [DB].[dbo].[db].[CSRoot]
from [DB].[dbo].[db]
Many records, in fact.
How can this be?
You can get the number of records using the rs.getRows function.
Function invested_funds() As Integer
Dim c As ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Dim connectionstring As String
Dim sql As String
connectionstring = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=DESKTOP-2TTG3GQ\SQLEXPRESS;" & _
"Initial Catalog=DB;" & _
"Integrated Security=SSPI;"
Set c = New ADODB.Connection
Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
c.Open connectionstring
sql = "select [DB].[dbo].[db].[CSRoot] " & _
"from [DB].[dbo].[db] "
If c.State = adStateOpen Then
Debug.Print ("Connected") 'This prints!
End If
Set rs = c.Execute(sql)
Dim arr As Variant, n As Integer
arr = rs.GetRows
n = UBound(arr, 2) + 1
'Debug.Print (rs.RecordCount)
Debug.Print n
invested_funds = n
End Function
This is my stored procedure which works fine in SQL Server Management Studio.
exec GroupCommissions #GroupNumberEntry = '01142'
Should produce a table of data.
I'm trying to run it in vba using the following code:
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Dim cnSQL As ADODB.Connection
Dim sqlcommand As ADODB.Command, prm As Object
Set cnSQL = New ADODB.Connection
cnSQL.Open "Provider=SQLOLEDB; Data Source=bddc1didw1;Initial Catalog=Actuarial; Trusted_connection=Yes; Integrated Security='SSPI'"
Set sqlcommand = New ADODB.Command
sqlcommand.ActiveConnection = cnSQL
sqlcommand.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc
sqlcommand.CommandText = "GroupCommissions"
Set prm = sqlcommand.CreateParameter("GroupNumberEntry", adParamInput)
sqlcommand.Parameters.Append prm
sqlcommand.Parameters("GroupNumberEntry").Value = "01142"
Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
rs.CursorType = adOpenStatic
rs.LockType = adLockOptimistic
rs.Open sqlcommand
ActiveSheet.Range("a3").CopyFromRecordset rs
But it just returns blank and I can't work out what I'm doing wrong. Also is there a simpler way to do this?
As discussed below i've managed to fix the issue by adding SET NOCOUNT ON to the original stored procedure. My issue now is I want to do a second stored procedure in the same code but it only seems to work for one. They both work individually however. So either I have to reopen the connection or use 2 on the defined variables? Here is the code:
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Dim cnSQL As ADODB.Connection
Dim sqlcommand As ADODB.Command, prm As Object, prm2 As Object
Set cnSQL = New ADODB.Connection
cnSQL.Open "Provider=SQLOLEDB; Data Source=bddc1didw1;Initial Catalog=Actuarial; Trusted_connection=Yes; Integrated Security='SSPI'"
Set sqlcommand = New ADODB.Command
sqlcommand.ActiveConnection = cnSQL
'groupdates
sqlcommand.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc
sqlcommand.CommandText = "GroupDate"
Set prm = sqlcommand.CreateParameter("GroupNumberEntry", adVarChar, adParamInput, 5)
Set prm2 = sqlcommand.CreateParameter("ValuationDateEntry", adDate, adParamInput)
sqlcommand.Parameters.Append prm
sqlcommand.Parameters.Append prm2
sqlcommand.Parameters("GroupNumberEntry").Value = "01132"
sqlcommand.Parameters("ValuationDateEntry").Value = "08-31-2019"
Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
rs.CursorType = adOpenStatic
rs.LockType = adLockOptimistic
rs.Open sqlcommand
ActiveSheet.Range("a2").CopyFromRecordset rs
'GroupCommissions
sqlcommand.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc
sqlcommand.CommandText = "GroupCommissions"
Set prm = sqlcommand.CreateParameter("GroupNumberEntry", adVarChar, adParamInput, 5)
sqlcommand.Parameters.Append prm
sqlcommand.Parameters("GroupNumberEntry").Value = "01132"
Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
rs.CursorType = adOpenStatic
rs.LockType = adLockOptimistic
rs.Open sqlcommand
ActiveSheet.Range("DB2").CopyFromRecordset rs
Try replacing that line with something like this:
Set prm = sqlcommand.CreateParameter("GroupNumberEntry", adVarChar, GroupNumberEntry, 255)
Set the field type and length according to how your proc is defined.
Your code looked OK to me so I copied it into Excel (2016...) and tried it. It gave me an error on that line but adding the additional parameter values to CreateParameter fixed the issue. shrug It shouldn't matter since those are optional parameters, unless there is something maybe at the provider level.
you can try just sending the SQL PROCEDURE straight through as a CALL function.
Take a look at this:
Public connDB As New ADODB.Connection
Public rs As New ADODB.Recordset
Public strSQL As String
Public strConnectionstring As String
Public strServer As String
Public strDBase As String
Public strUser As String
Public strPwd As String
Public PayrollDate As String
Sub WriteStoredProcedure()
PayrollDate = "2017/05/25"
Call ConnectDatabase
On Error GoTo errSP
strSQL = "EXEC spAgeRange '" & PayrollDate & "'"
connDB.Execute (strSQL)
Exit Sub
errSP:
MsgBox Err.Description
End Sub
Sub ConnectDatabase()
If connDB.State = 1 Then connDB.Close
On Error GoTo ErrConnect
strServer = "SERVERNAME" ‘The name or IP Address of the SQL Server
strDBase = "TestDB"
strUser = "" 'leave this blank for Windows authentication
strPwd = ""
If strPwd > "" Then
strConnectionstring = "DRIVER={SQL Server};Server=" & strServer & ";Database=" & strDBase & ";Uid=" & strUser & ";Pwd=" & strPwd & ";Connection Timeout=30;"
Else
strConnectionstring = "DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER=" & strServer & ";Trusted_Connection=yes;DATABASE=" & strDBase 'Windows authentication
End If
connDB.ConnectionTimeout = 30
connDB.Open strConnectionstring
Exit Sub
ErrConnect:
MsgBox Err.Description
End Sub
I am trying to write an Exce-Vba code for SQL connection. The code, first will open the connection to the server, then it will copy a 4 columns of table (Range("C22:G81")) from my Excel-sheet to the SQL-server (I am only trying to send numerical table now as a test, I don't send any column name)
I have been trying to solve a "Application Defined or Object Defined" error quite long time. I get the error for the connection string strCon = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0; Data Source=" & strName & ";Extended Properties=""Excel 12.0;"
I even tried with another version with password option like strCon = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0; Data Source=" & strName & ";Extended Properties=""Excel 12.0; Jet OLEDB:Database Password='passwd';"
But I get the same error. I am quite new in SQL-coding. I wonder if I am missing something important.
Lasly, I don't know if it is related to this error, but I manually created 4 columns in the SQL server for my 4 columns in the Excel. Do I need to write something specific that those 4 columns in the Excel-sheet will find the right columns in the SQL-server?
Thanks in advance...
The code:

Dim rs As New ADODB.Recordset
Dim conn As New ADODB.Connection
Dim ServerName As String, DataBaseName As String, strSQL As String
Set conn = New ADODB.Connection

DataBaseName = "Tables"
' Specify the OLE DB provider
conn.Provider = "sqloledb"
' Set SQLOLEDB connection properties
conn.Properties("Data Source").Value = ServerName
conn.Properties("Initial Catalog").Value = DataBaseName
' Windows NT authentication.
conn.Properties("Integrated Security").Value = "SSPI"

Dim ValidSheet As Worksheet
Dim HeaderRange As Range
Dim DataRange As Range
Dim ColRange As Range
Dim LastRange As Range
Dim strName As String, strCon As String

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set ValidSheet = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet2") '
Set HeaderRange = ValidSheet.Range("C20:G21")
Set ColRange = HeaderRange.Find(TheHeader, , , xlWhole)
Set LastRange = ColRange.End(xlDown)
Set DataRange = ValidSheet.Range("C22:G81") ' This is what I am trying to transfer, only numeric values without column names
strCon = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0; Data Source=" & strName _
& ";Extended Properties=""Excel 12.0;"
conn.Open strCon
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM [" & ValidSheet.Name & "$" & Replace(DataRange, "$", "") & "];"
rs.Open strSQL, dbclass, adOpenStatic, adLockReadOnly
arrData = rs.GetRows
rs.Close
conn.Close
Set rs = Nothing
Set conn= Nothing
Set ValidSheet = Nothing
End Sub
After getting the same error for the "connection string", I changed the strategy, and I used dbclass procedure to open a connection. So the new code is like below. (I found this coding from a guy, but he is on vacation now, so I can't ask him).
It gets connection (dbclass) properties automatically, which are saved in the main ThisWorkbook. This code doesn't give any error at all, but it doesn't copy the column from the Excel to the database. I tried different versions for the sql-query, like SQL = .... VALUES('result') or SQL = .... VALUES(result), but there is no result again, without error.
Private Sub Testing_Click()
Dim FindColValues() As Double
Dim ValidBook As Workbook
Dim ValidSheet As Worksheet
Dim DataRange As Range
Dim dataa As Range
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
TheSheet = "Sheet2"
Set ValidSheet = Worksheets(TheSheet)
Set DataRange = ValidSheet.Range("C21:C81")
' Below creating an array "result(it)" from the seleced range.
For Each dataa In DataRange
ReDim Preserve result(it)
result(it) = dataa.Value
it = it + 1
Next
' Below is just an alternative array for "in case"
arrData = ValidSheet.Range("C22:G81").Value
SQL = "INSERT INTO Table_test (Column1) VALUES ('result()');"
dbclass.ExecuteSQL SQL
End Sub
Below is dbclass connection properties which is read automatically by the other function:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim connOk As Boolean
Dim rs As New ADODB.Recordset
Dim MyWorkBook As Workbook
Dim CurSheet As Worksheet
Set dbclass = New clsDB
dbclass.Database = "Tables"
dbclass.ConnectionType = SqlServer
dbclass.DataSource = "E45c7642"
dbclass.UserId = Application.UserName
connOk = dbclass.OpenConnection(False, True)
If connOk = False Then
MsgBox "Cannot connect"
Else
MsgBox "The server is connected"
End If
End Sub
Finally I found the problem for my second code. As I wrote before, in my alternative code (second code), I didn't get any error at all in VBA, but it didn't save my table into the server.
Now I know the reason, because my real value was in "comma" format, but the server saved the value in "dot" format. So I added Str(value) to convert the "comma" value to the "dot" value, and it works now:
....
SQL = "INSERT INTO Table_test (Column1) VALUES (" & Str(result(1)) & ")"
dbclass.ExecuteSQL SQL
End Sub
I am making a .MDB file which include a ms access database and a form made with vb 6. I am using ms access 2000, and I need to connect to both my local database in the MDB, and a remote MS SQL 2005 database.
In the below code, I can use a msgbox to display the value return from the result set, but when try to output it in a textBox, e.g: txtStatus.Value = txtStatus.Value & rstRecordSet.Fields(1) & vbCrLf, it just hangs. And the method show in the original example from the tutorial got a method of Debug.Print something, but it turns out didn't do anything which I can see. I mean, VB doesn't have a console panel, where will the print statement goes to?
The code with got error:

I thought it was a joke at the beginning ;-)
Anyway I assume you're talking about ADO, as in your title.
Here you can find stuff.
This site will help you with the connection strings for different database.
The difference between access and sql server using ADO it is exactly the connection string.
I would suggest you to avoid Remote Data Controls cause make your life simpler at the beginning but then you have to struggle with them cause they don't work properly.
This is an example of connection and fetch of data:
Dim cnn As New ADODB.Connection
Dim cmd As New ADODB.Command
Dim strSql As String
cnn.ConnectionString = _
"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=m:\testdbSource\testSource.mdb;" & _
"User Id=admin;Password=;"
cnn.Open
cmd.ActiveConnection = cnn
cmd.CommandType = adCmdText
cmd.CommandText = "select * from tblSource"
cmd.Execute
Set cmd = Nothing
cnn.Close
Set cnn = Nothing
This sample works for me:
Function Testing()
On Error GoTo Error_Handling
Dim MyDb As String
Dim conConnection As New ADODB.Connection
Dim cmdCommand As New ADODB.Command
Dim rstRecordSet As New ADODB.Recordset

.ConnectionString = App.Path & "\" & MyDb

.CommandType = adCmdText
