sql query to vba

[arunkmr88]

Hi all,

I've been trying to convert the below code from sql server to run directly from excel vba. But unable to do so.

Update Legal Set Category = Case 
	when datediff(month,GETDATE(),[End date])>6 then 'Blue' 
	when datediff(month,GETDATE(),[End date])<6 and datediff(month,GETDATE(),[end date])>1 then 'Orange'
	when datediff(month,GETDATE(),[End date])<2 then 'Red'
	End 
	where classification = 'B'
Select classification,datediff(month,GETDATE(),[End date]),Category from Legal

into VBA like below

 Dim Cn As ADODB.Connection
    Dim Server_Name As String
    Dim Database_Name As String
    Dim User_ID As String
    Dim Password As String
    Dim SQLSelect As String
    Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
    Dim sqlcmd as string
    
cbb = Environ("computername")
    
  With Sheet3.Range("A4:Z" & Rows.Count)
    .ClearContents
    '.ClearFormats
  End With
  
  
    [COLOR=#ff0000]sqlcmd[/COLOR] = "Update Legal Set Category = Case" & _
    " when datediff(month,GETDATE(),[End date])>9 then 'Blue'" & _
    " when datediff(month,GETDATE(),[End date])<9 and datediff(month,GETDATE(),[end date])>1 then 'Orange'" & _
    " when datediff(month,GETDATE(),[End date])<2 then 'Red'" & _
    " End " & _
    " where classification = 'A'" & _
    "Select classification,datediff(month,GETDATE(),[End date]),Category from Legal ""])"""
  
  Debug.Print sqlcmd

    With Sheet3.ListObjects.Add(SourceType:=0, Source:=Array( _
        "OLEDB;Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=[COLOR=#ee82ee]Login_ID[/COLOR];Password=[COLOR=#ee82ee]Password[/COLOR];Data Source=[COLOR=#ee82ee]Server_Name[/COLOR];Use Procedure f" _
        , _
        "or Prepare=1;Auto Translate=True;Packet Size=4096;Workstation ID=" & cbb & ";Use Encryption for Data=False;Tag with column collatio" _
        , "n when possible=False;Initial Catalog=[COLOR=#ee82ee]DB_Name[/COLOR]"), Destination:=Sheet3.Range( _
        "$A$4")).QueryTable
        .CommandType = xlCmdSql
        .CommandText = [COLOR=#ff0000][B]sqlcmd[/B] [/COLOR]
        .RowNumbers = False
        .FillAdjacentFormulas = False
        .PreserveFormatting = True
        .RefreshOnFileOpen = False
        .BackgroundQuery = True
        .RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
        .SavePassword = False
        .SaveData = True
        .AdjustColumnWidth = True
        .RefreshPeriod = 0
        .PreserveColumnInfo = True
        .SourceConnectionFile = _
        "C:\Users\xxxxx\Documents\My Data Sources\xxxxx.odc"
        .ListObject.DisplayName = _
        "AP_123"
        .Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
    End With
 Sheet3.ListObjects("AP_123").Unlink
 Sheet3.ListObjects("AP_123").Unlist

But I get the following error:

The query did not run, or the database table could not be opened.

Check the database server or contact your database administrator. Make sure the external database is available and hasn't been moved or reorganized, then try the operation again.


Kindly help me guys!! Been trying this for weeks!

P.S. Do not require a Power Query as it will ask for credentials to the other users whom do not have access to the server
