Excel VBA - Get Data from SQL based of Cell range values

Question

I've been tasked to get data from a SQL DB based off the values in Column A Row 3 onwards.

Example of Excel Sheet:

ITEM   | QTY TO PICK | QTY ON ORDER | Column 2 | Column 3 etc

PART 1 |      5      | <Data will be populated here>

PART 2 |      12     | <Data will be populated here>

This code runs through a Command Button.

The data pulled from SQL will be populated starting in C3 onwards.

However, my below code only returns one row at a time.

I know where I need to make changes, I just don't know what. After at least 2 hours googling, I'm thoroughly stumped.

ItemNumber = Range("A3").Value

I've tried amending to ("A3:A100").Value but I just get errors.

Full code below;

Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()

' Create a connection object.
Dim cn As ADODB.Connection
Set cn = New ADODB.Connection

' Provide the connection string.
Dim strConn As String

'Use the SQL Server OLE DB Provider.
strConn = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;"

'Connect to the Pubs database on the local server.
strConn = strConn & "server=<server name>;INITIAL CATALOG=<DB Name>;"

'Use an integrated login.
strConn = strConn & " INTEGRATED SECURITY=sspi;"

'Now open the connection.
cn.Open strConn

'
'

ActiveSheet.Range("C3:G10000").Clear ' clear out existing data
Dim ItemNumber As String

ItemNumber = Range("A3").Value

' Create a recordset object.
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset

SQLStr = "Select * from vw_WorksOrder WHERE ITEMNO = " & ItemNumber & ""

rs.Open SQLStr, cn

' Copy the records into cell A1 on Sheet1.
Sheet4.Range("C3").CopyFromRecordset rs

' Tidy up

rs.Close
cn.Close
Set rs = Nothing
Set cn = Nothing

Answer 1

My advise is:

1.)

Create a table on SQL Server which contains parameters for your sql statement (itemnumber = 1)

2.) Write a cycle which loops tru the ranges and adds values one by one to the table like:

i = 1 while cells(i,3).value <> "" ... Insert into temptable values (parameter1,parameter2, etc)

i = i+1 wend

3.)

Modify your sql statement for the recordset joining the table with the parameters and the data you would like to pull and paste that data.

Answer 2

You could try building the SQL like so

"Select * from vw_WorksOrder WHERE ITEMNO in (" & _
join(application.transpose(range("a1:a5").Value),",") & ")"

or, for strings.

  "Select * from vw_WorksOrder WHERE ITEMNO in ('" & _
join(application.transpose(range("a1:a5").Value),"','") & "')"
