Provided I have the data in following format in the DB: +——–+——–+——-+ | Server

  • 0

Provided I have the data in following format in the DB:

+--------+--------+-------+
| Server | Client | Usage |
+--------+--------+-------+     
| London | Bob    | 10%   |
| London | Alice  | 20%   |
| Tokyo  | Charlie| 30%   |
| Tokyo  | Zeke   | 40%   |
+--------+--------+-------+

I would like to have a spreadsheet containing data for each Server but I don’t know in advance which servers will be present and in what numbers. Via the Data > Connection I have created the CommonConnection would get all the data.

Question: Is there a way to display information for each server on a separate spreadsheet, using this single connection? Something like SELECT * FROM %CommonConnection% WHERE Server='London' (the %% syntax is speculative).

I’m writing a VBA script that will read servers, create spreadsheets for each and set up filters. Now it seems I’ll have to have a connection for a list of servers, and then create a dedicated connection for each of servers. These connection will have to be deleted on reload since I don’t know exact number of servers.

    Ok, I havent found a native way of doing it, so everything is done via macro. This solution has multiple drawbacks one being you must have special extension for a macro-enabled workbook .xlsm.

    Set cnt = New ADODB.connection
Set rst = New ADODB.Recordset

cnt.Open "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Integrated Security= ...."
rst.Open "SELECT ...", cnt

While Not rst.EOF
    server = rst.Fields(0).Value
    ' get other values as well
    Worksheets(server).Range("whatever").Value = Array(server, value1, value2, etc)
Wend
