I have a VBA to pull data from a database, but I am trying to not hard-code it. I am needing to pull a few tests from the database and currently running it, then changing the code to update the ids.

Currently:
Code:
SQLquery = SQLquery & " Where t.TS_TEST_ID = '39324' OR t.TS_TEST_ID = '39166' OR t.TS_TEST_ID = '12345'

What I want to do is the line is looking at cell values in Sheet1.
Script#139324
Script#239166
Script#312345
Script#432456

<tbody>
</tbody>

I want to extract 20-25 at a time so the table listed above would provide all the scripts. This is what I have so far:
Code:
SQLquery = SQLquery & " AND t.TS_TEST_ID = " & "'" & Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B1").Value & "'" & "

Excel Facts

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
It is much easier in you take advantage of the IN operator.
See: https://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_in.asp

So, if we wanted to loop through all the values in column B on Sheet1 to build our list of IDs and build our WHERE condition, it would look something like this:
Code:
    Dim lr As Long
    Dim r As Long
    Dim myList As String
    Dim cond As String
    
'   Find last row in Sheet1, column B
    lr = Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
    
'   Loop through all values in column B and make them a list
    For r = 1 To lr
        myList = myList & "'" & Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(r, "B") & "',"
    Next r
    
'   Drop last comma off of myList
    If Len(myList) > 0 Then
        myList = Left(myList, Len(myList) - 1)
'       Build condition
        cond = " WHERE t.TS_TEST_ID IN (" & myList & ")"
'       Return condition for inspection
        MsgBox cond
    End If
