I created many spreadsheets which use stored procedures. I have a custom VBA code which works fine when I try to get data from SQL. However, today I wanted to execute parametrized stored procedure which inserts and updates data on a database table. When I run macro no errors show up, however there's no insert/update action on database. I have no idea why. I established SQL connection in my workbook (myConn
) as I do everytime I need to connect with SQL so it's correct for sure. This is my standard VBA code:
Sub SaveData()
Dim myValue As Double
myValue = Sheets("XYZ").Range("valueToSave").Value
With ActiveWorkbook.Connections("myConn").OLEDBConnection
.CommandText = Array( _
"EXEC DB.[dbo].[myProc] '" & myValue & "'")
End With
ActiveWorkbook.Connections("myConn").Refresh
End Sub
I need to insert data into column of decimal(6,4)
type (in SQL table). myProc
does it perfectly when I run it manually via SSMS but not here using VBA code. valueToSave
is an Excel range which stores one decimal value (for example: 23,56
, 11,21
etc.). When I run macro nothing happens. When I run macro and go to 'Connection Properties' > 'Definitions' > 'Command Text' then I can see there's a procedure with parameter (EXEC DB.[dbo].[myProc] '11,23'). So my acode above seems working but not executing stored procedure.
Has it something to do with data type? Honestly, I tried with other VBA types: String
, Variant
, Integer
but it's not working. I also changed data type of that column in SQL table (to varchar
, int
etc.) but it also doesn't work. The most interesting thing is that the code above works fine when I withdraw data from db, it doesn't work when need to insert/update data.
PS. I guess I added all required refrences:
