SUMMARY

When you use the QE.XLA add-in macro to extract data from an external database in Microsoft Excel, you may receive the error message "Error in SQL Statement" if there is a mismatched data type in one of the criteria fields.

MORE INFORMATION

You can use the QE.XLA add-in macro to extract data from external databases and place it in a Microsoft Excel worksheet. However, if a criteria field contains a mismatched data type, such as a numeric value in a criteria field that requires the text data type, the error message "Error In SQL Statement" will be displayed when you choose Extract from the Data menu. When this error occurs, data will not be returned to the Microsoft Excel worksheet.
