I have an Excel sheet report
formatted like this:
+----------+--------+-------------+
| file | column | columnIndex |
+----------+--------+-------------+
| abc.xlsx | test | 14 |
| def.xlsx | test | 55 |
| abc.xlsx | xyz | 19 |
| def.xlsx | xyz | 19 |
+----------+--------+-------------+
I'm trying to query it with ADODB so that I can get the unique pairs of column
and columnIndex
values where column
is not blank.
I have tried various queries but each one has given me an error.
SELECT [report$].column,[report$].columnIndex
from [report$] group by [report$].column,[report$].columnIndex
having [report$].column<>''
ORDER BY columnIndex
gives this error:
No value given for one or more required parameters.
This query:
select [report$].column,[report$].columnIndex
from [report$] group by [report$].column,[report$].columnIndex
where [report$].column<>''
order by columnIndex
gives this error:
Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression '[report$].columnIndex where [report$].column<>'''.
This query:
select distinct [report$].column,[report$].columnIndex
from [report$]
where [report$].column<>''
order by columnIndex
gives this error:
ORDER BY clause (columnIndex) conflicts with DISTINCT.
How can I write this query to get the unique values?
