Excel 2010 Data Connection - Add Filter to Command Text











up vote

Two relevant workbooks:





  • Historical Data.xlsx with a table GLDATA, which includes a field cc


  • Template.xlsx with a named range COSTCENTER


Question: How do I modify the Command Text in the Data Connections Properties dialog box (using either SQL or Table syntax) to only pull those records from GLDATA into Template.xlsx where cc = COSTCENTER



What have I tried so far



SQL Syntax: SELECT * FROM GLDATA WHERE GLDATA.cc = COSTCENTER



Closest solution I've found



How to add parameters to an external data query in Excel which can't be displayed graphically?

  • Its not clear from your question, but I'm guessing that the named range COSTCENTER contains a list of values which exist in the field cc?

  • It refers to just one cell, which has the value of the cost center I want to filter on.

The field contains the string COSTCENTER? If so, try this:



SQL Syntax: SELECT * FROM GLDATA WHERE (GLDATA.cc = 'COSTCENTER')

    I would resolve this with the Power Query Add-In.



    First build a simple Query to get the COSTCENTER named range data from the Excel Template file. Note this approach allows multiple COSTCENTER values to be listed.



    Then start another Query from a simplified SQL Query e.g. SELECT * FROM GLDATA. Then add a Merge step to connect to the first Query on CC = COSTCENTER, and check the option to Only Keep Matching Rows.



    From the Data ribbon, choose Refresh All to refresh the data if the COSTCENTER value or SQL input data changes.
