Calling a Stored Procedure from Excel with multiple parameters

Question

I have set up a connection to my SQL server to the database where the stored procedure is located. The Stored Procedure works fine in SQLServer. The Stored Procedure runs

Answer 1

1 – expose parametars in excel

2 – define that parameters are entered from excel

3 – OK and refresh.

OK, You don't have to enter parameters in the command text, you can define command text in a way to expect parameters to be passed to the store procedure from excel cell. This is useful especially if your country don’t use US data format. Also, it enables end user to make refresh with some other parameters without need to edit command text. It is simple – in the excel that have connection to sql server in command text after store procedures name you enter ? – as many ? as you have different parameters that your store procedure expects (divided by ,) – like this - execute dbo.your_procedure ?,? After that, you go in the parameters tab (on the same form that you entered command text) and define from witch cell witch parameter is passed to store procedure. Of course, in the stored procedure also need to be specified what parameters are expected:

CREATE procedure [dbo].[your_procedure]

( @DateFrom datetime, @DateTo datetime ) As

--- your store procedure ---

In excel – parameter 1 will be send to the store procedure to a DateFrom parametar.
