Hi Andy,

Firstly, these video tutorials are second to none! You and your team should be very proud!

What would be the best way to add bulk data from an Excel table via VBA to an SQL table. Would one need to loop over each cell and export to SQL using that method or is there a more effecient way like being able to export the entire table (or say a CSV file) in a more direct way?

Many thanks.

Michael.

Thanks Michael!

For bulk inserts from Excel to SQL Server you might be better off trying one of the techniques shown here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52897825/insert-into-statement-from-excel-to-sql-server-table-using-vba

Alternatively, SQL Server Integration Services is designed for exactly this sort of task! We have a few videos on SSIS which you can see here https://www.wiseowl.co.uk/integration-services/videos/ssis-basics/

I hope that helps!
