Hello,

I have a VBA with an SQL statement. I need to ignore any values that are blank

Below is portion of VBA:

"SELECT * FROM Data.dbo.Contract_Summary_Workbook as w WHERE w.""ProjectNo"" " & _
"like '" & Lists.Range("C4").Value & "%' or w.""ProjectNo"" like '" & Lists.Range("C3").Value & "%' or w.""ProjectNo"" not like '" & Lists.Range("C9").Value & "%'" _
)

in C9 I have blank cell with no content, in C4 and C3 I have project numbers.
If there will be blank content in C3 the data still gives me all table dump (for all projects).

Is there a way for me to exclude any input variables that have blanks?

I don't really know if there's a way for me to loop through input values in SQL statement.

Thanks,

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
maybe check for len(range("c9"))
if it is zero, use SQL ".. ProjectNo Is Not Null
otherwise stay with what you have

For now I decided to fill blank input rows with "N/A" and included statement in SQL so that it picks it with 'N/A%' and it doesn't, so it works
