Question

I have an Excel sheet containing table like data

strSQL = "SELECT S.FIELD_NAME1,S.FIELD_NAME2,S.FIELD_NAME3 from [SourceData$A1:IV6] S"

Dim cn as ADODB.Connection
Dim rs as ADODB.Recordset
cn.Open strCon
Set rs = CmdSqlData.Execute()
Worksheets("SourceData").Cells.ClearContent
Worksheets("AnswerData").Cells(2, 1).CopyFromRecordset rs

Results :
Only first row and other records are ignored.

I have tried below query .,

strSQL = "SELECT COUNT(*) from [SourceData$A1:IV6] S"

Which gives 5 as result.

Please let me know why other records not copied into recordset?

Answer 1

Here’s a subroutine that successfully pastes a recordset.

Note that the range it pastes to is the same size of the recordset via the intMaxRow and intMaxCol variables:

Sub sCopyFromRS()
'Send records to the first
'sheet in a new workbook
'
Dim rs As Recordset
Dim intMaxCol As Integer
Dim intMaxRow As Integer
Dim objXL As Excel.Application
Dim objWkb As Workbook
Dim objSht As Worksheet
  Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Customers", _
                    dbOpenSnapshot)
  intMaxCol = rs.Fields.Count
  If rs.RecordCount > 0 Then
    rs.MoveLast:    rs.MoveFirst
    intMaxRow = rs.RecordCount
    Set objXL = New Excel.Application
    With objXL
      .Visible = True
      Set objWkb = .Workbooks.Add
      Set objSht = objWkb.Worksheets(1)
      With objSht
        .Range(.Cells(1, 1), .Cells(intMaxRow, _
            intMaxCol)).CopyFromRecordset rs
      End With
    End With
  End If
End Sub

Using that example as a model, I’d try somehting like this for your code:

strSQL = "SELECT S.FIELD_NAME1,S.FIELD_NAME2,S.FIELD_NAME3 from [SourceData$A1:IV6] S"

Dim cn as ADODB.Connection
Dim rs as ADODB.Recordset
Dim intMaxCol as Integer
Dim intMaxRow as Integer

cn.Open strCon
Set rs = CmdSqlData.Execute()
intMaxCol = rs.Fields.Count
'- MoveLast/First to get an accurate RecordCount
rs.MoveLast 
rs.MoveFirst

If rs.RecordCount > 0 then
    '-thought you could put the MoveLast/First here but maybe not.
    intMaxRow = rs.RecordCount
    With Worksheets("AnswerData")
        .Range(.Cells(2,1),.Cells(intMaxRow+1,intMaxColumn)).CopyFromRecordset rs
    End With
End If
