Query not returning all the rows

B

barnabel

I have Excel 2007 which is supposed to support sheets longer than 65K rows.

I have a query that should return more than 135K rows. But there are only
65K rows in the sheet. Anybody know how to set the maximum number of rows
returns?

Could you post the relevant code?
Did you use an Integer variable somewhere?

Here is the code. The actual query should be irrelivent. If I print the
sqlstring in the immediate window and paste it into an SQL command window it
returns all the rows.

Dim sqlString As String
Dim period As Integer
Dim client As String
Dim sourceBook As String
Dim targetBook As String

sqlString = ""
period = 1
sourceBook = ActiveWorkbook.Name


While Not IsEmpty(Sheets("Parameters").Cells(2, period + 1))
If (sqlString <> "") Then
sqlString = sqlString + "union all" + Chr(13)
End If
sqlString = sqlString + buildQuery(Sheets("Parameters").Cells(2,
period + 1), "pba", Sheets("Parameters").Cells(3, period + 1),
Sheets("Parameters").Cells(4, period + 1), _
Sheets("Parameters").Cells(5, period + 1),
Sheets("Parameters").Cells(6, period + 1), Sheets("Parameters").Cells(7, 2))
sqlString = sqlString + "union all" + Chr(13)
sqlString = sqlString + buildQuery(Sheets("Parameters").Cells(2,
period + 1), "buy", Sheets("Parameters").Cells(3, period + 1),
Sheets("Parameters").Cells(4, period + 1), _
Sheets("Parameters").Cells(5, period + 1),
Sheets("Parameters").Cells(6, period + 1), Sheets("Parameters").Cells(7, 2))
period = period + 1
Wend

Sheets.Add
ActiveSheet.Name = "rawData"
Sheets("rawData").Cells(1, 1).Select
With Sheets("rawData").QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"ODBC;DSN=Sybase;SRVR=server;DB=database;UID=user;PWD=password", _
Destination:=Range(Sheets("rawData").Cells(1, 1),
Sheets("rawData").Cells(1, 1)))
.CommandText = sqlString
.Name = "RawCompetativeData"
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.BackgroundQuery = True
.RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
.SavePassword = True
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = True
.RefreshPeriod = 0
.PreserveColumnInfo = True
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
End With

Selection.Copy

Workbooks.Add
targetBook = ActiveWorkbook.Name
Workbooks(targetBook).Activate
ActiveSheet.Name = "rawPerformance"
Sheets("rawPerformance").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues, Operation:=xlNone,
SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlFormats, Operation:=xlNone,
SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
Workbooks(sourceBook).Sheets("Parameters").Copy
After:=Workbooks(targetBook).Sheets("rawStationPerformance")

Can't see yet where it might go wrong.
It won't fix it but I would declare Period as Long and use the & to
concatenate
strings rather than the + you are using.

What is happening here:

End With

Selection.Copy

Workbooks.Add

Is Selection the right range here?

Period is indexing Columns so it really doesn't need to be a long. Each
column on the parameter page contains the information to specify a range of
data. The sheet works perfectly for up to 1 years worth of data whether I
specify it as jan-dec in 1 column or jan-mar, apr-jun,jul-sep and oct-dec but
somebody asked for 3 years worth of data. Even so period is less than 10.

What difference does using & rather than + do? The resulting query printed
and copied to the sql window works fine.

There were 2 lines that were irrelivant so I didn't include them but I
missed the line:

Cells.Select

so if selection is not right then it is still an excel problem that it isn't
selecting the right range when there are more than 65K rows. I'll look at
that.

As I said, these changes won't fix anything, but still worth doing.
Long is better as you never know what might happen to the code in the
future and it will be (though unmeasurable) faster. Using & instead of +
will make the code clearer.
Is the Selected range fine at the Copy?

I don't 2007 yet, so not sure what could be causing the trouble.

Thanks for making me look at things from a different angle. I think I know
the solution but I can't test it until I get to the office Monday. I'll Post
the results Monday.

Solution found. The sheet was opened in compatability mode and compatability
MUST be maintained. It has to be saved as an XLSM closed and reopened before
compatability mode is lost. Once it is a 2007 file it returned all the rows.
