VBA - working with data videos | Excel VBA Part 58.22 - SQL for Excel Files - Join Worksheets from Multiple Files
Posted by Andrew Gould on 04 July 2021
This video explains how to join worksheets from multiple workbooks in a single SQL query. You'll learn about the IN clause and how to reference other workbooks, using a derived table subquery which can be joined to other tables in a query.
See our full range of VBA training resources, or test your knowledge of VBA with one of our VBA skills assessment tests.
This video has the following accompanying files:
