Hi All,

I have a Data Workbook holding all data for my reports, I would like Query my this closed "Data Cube" (which is table format). But rather than build a connection through the DATA tab, I would like to use VBA?

(reasons for this is i am querying a data set which is on a intranet document storage, and cannot network this as a drive)

i.e. //internal/176/222/225/Reports/Data_Cube.xlbs

I need to get to a stage somewhere like this. ( can do the open, close, paste additional formula, its the middle bit)

VB

  • Open connection (As above)
  • refresh data connection
  • filter specific criteria out
  • refresh all pivot and forumlas on destination
  • close connection
  • save AS destination file twice
  • end
Thanks again to all those who have helped over the last year.

Craig
