OLEDB Connection to support more than 65536 rows (Update Access from Excel Sheet)

Question

I can use the following SQL command to select data from an Excel sheet to be inserted into an Access table:

SELECT * FROM [Excel 12.0;HDR=YES;DATABASE=K:\\Folder         


        

Answer 1

Well, if somebody else comes accross the same problem:

The issue reported here is a known bug that happens when a range is queried: Problems in Excel 2013 when using ranges that extend beyond row 65536

and

To bypass it the solution was to query the range using "[SheetName$A:W]" instead of "[SheetName$A1:W100000]"

SELECT * FROM [Excel 12.0;HDR=YES;DATABASE=K:\FolderName\FileName.xlsb].[SheetName$A:W] WHERE Data=#01/01/2018#;
