VBA - working with data videos | Excel VBA Part 58.28 - SQL for Excel Files - Inserting Data into an Existing Sheet

Posted by Andrew Gould on 16 July 2021


This video teaches you how to use INSERT INTO statements in SQL to insert data into an existing Excel worksheet. You'll learn how to insert a single row of specific values, how to insert rows selected from a different worksheet and how to insert rows from a different Excel file. You'll also see how to use outer joins to avoid inserting duplicate rows and how to use union select statements to insert rows from multiple worksheets, ranges and workbooks at the same time.
