Hi,

I am getting the following error message and am not sure how to get rid of this.

'Run-time error - 2147467259 (80004005): Method 'CopyFromRecordset' of object range failed.

The VB code is as follows:

Sub GetDataFromSql()


Dim conn As New ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset


Dim StrCon As String
Dim StrSQl As String


Set conn = New ADODB.Connection
Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset


StrCon = "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=Reporting;Data Source=dpsql01"
conn.Open StrCon


StrInputName = ActiveSheet.Range("UserNameId")
StrInput1 = Format(ActiveSheet.Range("DateofRecord"), "yyyy-mm-dd")
StrInputDate = "'" & StrInput1 & "'"




StrSQl = StrSQl & "Select isnull(EQFU,0),isnull(QFU,0),isnull(TQFU1,0),isnull(TQFU2,0),isnull(CO,0),isnull(TELES,0),isnull(MEETING,0),"
StrSQl = StrSQl & "isnull(DEMOVAN,0) , isnull(SPEC,0), isnull(AMEND,0), isnull(QUOTES,0), isnull(INBOX,0), isnull(PRICESUPP,0), ISNULL(Arrange,0),"
StrSQl = StrSQl & "isnull(CPD,0),isnull(BONUS,0),isnull(SDQ,0),isnull(TWENTY4HQ,0),isnull(OTHER,0),'',GFI,START_TIME,Convert(Varchar(10),DATE,103),0,Individual_Ommph_ID "
StrSQl = StrSQl & "from Individual_Oomph where User_Name = " & StrInputName
StrSQl = StrSQl & " and Date=" & StrInputDate


Set rs = conn.Execute(StrSQl)


Sheets("Report").Range("B6").CopyFromRecordset rs


rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing
conn.Close
Set conn = Nothing


End Sub

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
Hey JannetteChristie,

I am not really sure what the issue is however, are you sure your SQL query is correct? I have noticed that you don't have single quotes for the USER_NAME assuming they're integer? Also, I have noticed a space within your convert function which I don't know if it works like this in SQL [Convert(Varchar(10),DA TE,103)]

Try the below code in your VBA & copy the SQL query from the immediate window & test if it works in your SQL. If it doesn't work then this is your issue, or first issue. Let me know

Code:
Sub Test_SQL()

StrInputName = ActiveSheet.Range("UserNameId")
StrInput1 = Format(ActiveSheet.Range("DateofRecord"), "yyyy-mm-dd")
StrInputDate = "'" & StrInput1 & "'"

StrSQl = StrSQl & "Select isnull(EQFU,0),isnull(QFU,0),isnull(TQFU1,0),isnull(TQFU2,0),isnull(CO,0),isnull(TELES,0),isnull(MEETING,0),"
StrSQl = StrSQl & "isnull(DEMOVAN,0) , isnull(SPEC,0), isnull(AMEND,0), isnull(QUOTES,0), isnull(INBOX,0), isnull(PRICESUPP,0), ISNULL(Arrange,0),"
StrSQl = StrSQl & "isnull(CPD,0),isnull(BONUS,0),isnull(SDQ,0),isnull(TWENTY4HQ,0),isnull(OTHER,0),'',GFI,START_TIME,Convert(Varchar(10),DA TE,103),0,Individual_Ommph_ID "
StrSQl = StrSQl & "from Individual_Oomph where User_Name = " & StrInputName
StrSQl = StrSQl & " and Date=" & StrInputDate

Debug.Print StrSQl

End Sub

Hi, I am not sure how a space got in between the sql statement when I copied it to the post as there is not one in the code. The code you provided is working ok, when I run my original code the data is being returned and then I am getting the error message.

I have worked out what was causing this to fail, my worksheet is protected and one of the columns needed to be unprotected to allow the data to be written in. Thanks for your time on this.

Glad you figured out what was causing the error :) Sometimes the tiny things that cause us the troubles. Thanks for reporting back
