I love it when UA-cam sends notification about your video. Awesome video as usual. I wish more people would know about your channel. I recommended your videos to my friends and colleagues and continue to do so.
Thank you Frik! It seems that this topic has been interesting for many people. I'm happy to hear that you're enjoying the videos and thank you for your support!
@@shinrafahell HI Rafael Andrew did a brilliant tutorial on JOINTS, UNION'S and some other interesting tips and tricks in this series just browse down 👌
Love all your videos. The timing of this one is perfect for a project I'm working on. One additional thing I need to do is to pass a known consistent password to open the different workbooks that are being connected to. I've been searching for the syntax to add the password to the ConnectionString. Do you have any recommendations for examples to reference? TIA!
Hi Eric! As far as I know it's not possible to include a password for an Excel workbook in a connection string using the ACE.OLEDB provider. The generally accepted workaround appears to be opening the workbook using either the Workbooks.Open method docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/office/vba/api/Excel.Workbooks.Open or the GetObject method (although this will prompt you for the password) www.connectionstrings.com/how-to-open-password-protected-excel-workbook/ and then use ADO to work with the opened file. Not ideal I appreciate, but I don't know of another method!
Thank you very much for these videos! Very good explained. A question: how can I detect which file the selected data serie is coming from? I have many many files and I suppose that some WHERE-condition is wrong, but I can`t find out where / which files returns the "wrong" data.
Hi Валерий! You can add a calculated column to the SELECT statement to include the name of the file like this: Do Until MovieFileName = ""
If IsFirstFile Then SQLString = "SELECT [Sheet1$].*, '" & MovieFileName & "' AS [FileName] FROM [Sheet1$]" IsFirstFile = False Else SQLString = SQLString & " UNION ALL SELECT [Sheet1$].*, '" & MovieFileName & "' FROM [Sheet1$] IN '" & _ MyFilesPath & MovieFileName & "' 'Excel 12.0 Xml;'" End If
Hi. I tried this with 29 workbooks total rows around 400000 with no extra criteria just "Select * from sheet1$". But the time consumption is much longer than normal do while loop with Dir() function. The ADO query takes 1.29 seconds to complete the process. But the normal Do While loop takes only 30 seconds to complete the process.
Hi, Thank you very much for the lessons. They are all excellent and have great content for use. I would like to know if you have already made a video that teaches you how to consult and extract texts (not tables) from files in PDF format. Thank you very much! Olá, Muito obrigado pelas lições. São todas excelentes e de grande conteúdo para utilização. Gostaria de saber se já fez algum vídeo que ensina a consultar e extrair textos (não tabelas) de arquivos em formato PDF. Muito obrigado!
Hi Luiz! You're very welcome for the videos, thank you for watching them. We don't have a video on extracting text from PDF files yet but this topic is on my list of videos to make.

How to be make this code more dynamic such as collecting data from sheets which names are not like Sheet* Because, if i understand correctly this code does not work if sheet name is different from Sheet1, am i right?
Hi Uzman! If you combine the techniques shown in this video ua-cam.com/video/5F8q7Z9kWGw/v-deo.html I think you'll be pleased with the results! I'll have another video tomorrow which covers similar ideas!
Hi Andrew, I have a question too. Would appreciate if you can make a video on it. How to perform Mailmerge in MS Word with the selected record in Excel file. It is so easy to do manually but, could not figure out how to do it in Excel VBA. If possible, the Mailmerge also updates an image based on selected record. For example, picture of a student.
Hi Shaielsh! Yes, you can use the TransferDatabase method to do this. You can see some examples of the code you need here docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/office/vba/api/Access.DoCmd.TransferDatabase I hope that helps!
