Use below sub and you should be all set

Sub generateUpdate()

Dim myRow As Integer: myRow = 2  'Starting Row of data in source table
Dim temp As Integer: temp = 1

Do Until Sheet1.Cells(myRow, 1) = "" 'Loop until you find a blank
'Do Until myRow = 5 '5 is Row number till while you wish to loop

Sheet2.Cells(temp, 1) = "UPDATE emp SET state='" & Sheet1.Cells(myRow, 3) & "' where id = " & Sheet1.Cells(myRow, 1)

myRow = myRow + 1
temp = temp + 1

Loop

End Sub
