Hi all,

Is there a way when importing a table from a server to only bring in info between a certian date. The hole file is massive & taking ages to bring in.
I'm looking for a filter like MSQUERY in Excel.

Thanks

Denis
 

Excel Facts

Formula for Yesterday
Name Manager, New Name. Yesterday =TODAY()-1. OK. Then, use =YESTERDAY in any cell. Tomorrow could be =TODAY()+1.

Can you not make a link to the table rather than importing it?

Then you could use a query to filter any unwanted data.
