I have been trying to connect to a local SQL Server that I have created via Excel VBA but I am having issues.
I am able to connect to the database using the "Get Data" functionality within Excel and entering in the server as (Local DB)\MSSQLLocalDB.
However when I try connecting using VBA it does not work, using Windows authentication. Any ideas?
Here is the string I used:
strConnString = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=(LocalDB)\MSSQLLocalDB;Integrated Security=SSPI"
The error I get is
Run-time error '2147467259 (80004005)'
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]
SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
This is how I use it, test it. TEST is Database name.
con.ConnectionString = "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;" _
& "Server=(local);" _
& "Database=TEST;" _
& "Integrated Security=SSPI;" _
& "DataTypeCompatibility=80;"
Try it this way.

I have an Excel workbook that builds a bunch of SQL Update scripts, and then executes them in SQL Server.
I got assistance with the below VBA script. The below works fine if I am running it while logged in as the Admin user Windows. However, when running from a users workstation I run into issues.
The main issue seems to be the user id and password are incorrect. I am not sure where on the below I can add the system administrator (sa) user name and password for SQL Server. Please may I get some assistance.
My code:
Sub test()
Const SERVER = "SRV\ServerName"
Const DATABASE = "Test Database"
Dim fso As Object, ts As Object, ar
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim iLastRow As Long, i As Long
Dim sql As String, timestamp As String
Dim Folder As String, SQLfile As String, LOGfile As String
Dim t0 As String: t0 = Timer
' query file and log filenames
timestamp = Format(Now, "YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS")
Folder = "\\SRV\Test Folder\"
SQLfile = Folder & timestamp & ".sql"
LOGfile = Folder & timestamp & ".log"
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
' read data from sheet into array to build sql file
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("UDF Update")
iLastRow = ws.Cells(Rows.Count, "N").End(xlUp).Row
If iLastRow = 1 Then
MsgBox "No data in Column N", vbCritical
Exit Sub
End If
ar = ws.Range("N2").Resize(iLastRow - 1).Value2
' connect to server and run query
Dim sConn As String, conn, cmd, n As Long
sConn = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Server=" & SERVER & _
";Initial Catalog=" & DATABASE & _
";Trusted_Connection=yes;"
' open log file
Set ts = fso.CreateTextFile(LOGfile)
' make connection
Set conn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.Open sConn
' execute sql statements
Set cmd = CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
With cmd
.ActiveConnection = conn
For i = 1 To UBound(ar)
ts.writeLine ar(i, 1)
.CommandText = ar(i, 1)
.Execute
On Error Resume Next
Next
End With
ts.Close
conn.Close
MsgBox UBound(ar) & " SQL queries completed (ADODB)", vbInformation, Format(Timer - t0, "0.0 secs")
End Sub
If you use Trusted_Connection=yes, the SQL server accepts/rejects you via Windows authentication. It seems that your admin account is accepted by the server while other accounts are not.
Either the other accounts are added to the database server by the database admin or you need to provide credentials and set Trusted_Connection=no (or omit it as that is the defaults)
sConn = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Server=" & SERVER & _
";Initial Catalog=" & DATABASE & _
";Trusted_Connection=no" & _
";User ID=MyUserID;Password=MyPassword;"

When I connect to Azure SQL database from MS Excel, I do not see the option to see stored procedures, I can see only tables and view for a chosen database. How do I execute a stored procedures to download results to excel?
Thanks for your time and help.
You can use Data-->Query to run the stored procedure in Azure SQL database from Excel.
Please follow my steps:
New Query-->From Azure-->From Azure SQL database:
SQL Server Database-->Advanced options-->Execute stored procedure statements:
Click OK--?choose Database to connect to Azure SQL-->See the result of stored procedure.
Then we can load the data into excel.
Note: I use Microsoft Office 2016 version.
I believe Azure Synapse is essentially the same as SQL Server, with a few minor differences. So, I'm not 100% sure that this will work, and I don't haccess to Azure now, but this will run a SPron sitting inside SQL Server.

strConn = strConn & "Initial Catalog=Your_Database_Name;"
strConn = strConn & "Integrated Security=SSPI;"
cn.Open strConn
Set cmd = New ADODB.Command
cmd.ActiveConnection = cn
cmd.CommandText = "MyOrders"

If you want to make a request to SQL Server, and run any kind of SQL, you can do this.

I'm writing a macro in Microsoft Excel that makes an update in a table of my local SQL Server database,.
My connection string:
sConnect = "Driver={SQL Server};Data Source=(localdb)\MSSQLLocalDB;Database=Scrape;"
I get this error:
Data source name not found and no default driver specific
How do I write the connection string?
Ok, this should be pretty simple. See the link below.

Finally, to update a SQL Server table with Excel/VBA code, do the following.
Sub UpdateMyTable()
Dim cnn As ADODB.Connection
Dim uSQL As String
Dim rngName As Range
Set cnn = New Connection
cnnstr = "Provider=SQLOLEDB; " & _
"Data Source=MyServer; " & _
"Initial Catalog=MyDB;" & _
"User ID=User;" & _
"Password=Pwd;" & _
"Trusted_Connection=No"
Set rngName = ActiveCell
cnn.Open cnnstr
uSQL = "UPDATE MyTable SET Field = 1 WHERE Field = ' " & rngName & " ' "
'Debug.Print (uSQL)
cnn.Execute uSQL
cnn.Close
Set cnn = Nothing
Exit Sub
End Sub
Post back, with specific details, if you have issues with this code. Thanks.
The original question was presented in 2015. I was wanting to know if any one here is aware if a new vba code has been generated since then to string 1000+ rows?
I don't want to get into server and more complex issues if I don't have to.
See original post:
Importing more than 1000 rows from Excel to SQL-server
Your assistance is appreciated.
You should be able to find a solution here.

Or, consider this.

I am getting error while exporting data from SQL to already created .xlsx file. I used openrowset.
It works fine most of times, but when the data comes in of the field as a large string, while inserting in excel it shows error as:
the statement has been terminated , string or binary data would be
truncated.
Data gets inserted in table but while inserting in excel this error comes.
Please help me find the solution.
So, going form SQL Server to Excel, you can do many things. Check out thins link:
