The first video in our tutorial on writing SQL for Excel files with ADODB shows you how to write basic Select statements to retrieve data from a separate Excel file. You'll learn how to refer to worksheets, cell references and range names and how to deal with worksheets with no column headers. You'll also see how to write a Select list to pick a specific set of columns from the Excel source and how to rename source columns by using aliases in your query. The final part of the video discusses different ways to lay out a longer SQL query, including the controversial topic of where to put your commas!
