How to import multiple SQL statements in an Excel file?

Hello

 

I have several SQL statments that I need to load into Excel sheets in an Excel file.

 

Can you tell me how to do that smartly please without having to put them one by one?

 

Thanks!

    As far as I know, there isn't a smart way other than doing it 1 by 1, you can only select one worksheet to implement a statement at a time:

    Not sure what you mean.  Please clarify.  You have multiple SQL statements and you want to load them into separate Excel workbooks?  worksheets?  where is the SQL stored?

      I want to load them into separate excel sheets in the same excel file.

      It is currently stored in a text file.

       

      Thanks!

    You want to pull the SQL from the text file and then execute them in the query editor?  Or are you willing to manually make each query using those SQL queries within the same workbook?  The latter is easy, the former is trickier but doable.

     

    For the former, you just need to put your SQL into the Advanced options box for each query.  Here is a link.
