It's not very far off.
SQL = "SELECT
[ITEMNAME]
FROM [db].[test]
WHERE [ITEMNAME] ='" & thisworkbook.worksheets("test").cells(1,1).value & "'"
thank you very much for your kind answer
i tried below as in your reply , received below error
"DataSource.Error: Microsoft SQL: Unclosed quotation mark after the character string ' '."
i tried below code first received error above :
and [PLANT]='" & ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("PROJE_BILGILER").Cells(6,"BO").value & "'"
then i deleted quotation mark at the end of the line like below, i did not reveive error , but the RESULT was empty. i tred also writing cell as number only lıke below but again no result. if i write not variable but consttant string like [PLANT]= "UTK" İT WORKS . but when i reference excel cell , like below , no error but no result
and [PLANT]= '" & ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("PROJE_BILGILER").Cells(6,"BO").value & "'
and [PLANT]= '" & ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("PROJE_BILGILER").Cells(31,1).value & "'
then i tried below code
WHERE PLANT = '" & ThisWorkbook.WorkSheets("PROJE_BILGILER").Range("A31").Value & "'"
received below error
DataSource.Error: Microsoft SQL: An object or column name is missing or empty. For SELECT INTO statements, verify each column has a name. For other statements, look for empty alias names. Aliases defined as "" or [] are not allowed. Change the alias to a valid name.
Unclosed quotation mark after the character string ''.
