I'm using the MS query in Excel and instead of using the criteria filters in MS Query I'd rather use Excel combo boxes, drop downs etc. Is there a way to populate the criteria filters in MS query from a control box?
If you use design mode to create or edit your query, you can include a parameter to be prompted for on refresh. You can then go to parameter options and link the parameter to a cell. You will have the option to select automaticcaly refresh when this cell changes. Use a combo box or data validation to populate this cell
