Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
i already have this code but by the line where (f0101.aban8 = x) must x be the value of the activecell but how can i do this

With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:="ODBC;DSN=proddta;", _
Destination:=Range("A1"))
.CommandText = Array( _
"SELECT F0101.ABALPH" & Chr(13) & "" & Chr(10) & "FROM AS400GOFI.PRODDTA.F0101 F0101" & Chr(13) & "" & _
Chr(10) & "WHERE (F0101.ABAN8 = X)" _
)
.Name = "Query from proddta"
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.BackgroundQuery = True
.RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
.SavePassword = True
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = True
.RefreshPeriod = 0
.PreserveColumnInfo = True
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
End With
End Sub
