How to query data from multiple Excel workbooks?

Although it's not possible only by means of FlySpeed SQL Query, you can unite these files by linking them into a single MS Access database and then connecting FlySpeed SQL Query to this database.

To link an Excel sheet to MS Access database, follow the steps below:

1. Create a blank database or open an existing file in Access.
2. Select File, Get External Data, Link Tables.
3. Select Microsoft Excel as the file type.
4. Select a worksheet or named range to import (see Figure 4), and then click Next. You can import only one worksheet or named range at a time, and each one will become an Access table.

 

1. In the next dialog box, select or deselect the check box First Row Contains Column Headings, depending on whether your worksheet has headings. Then click Next.
2. Enter a name for the table (or accept the default name that Access suggests), click Finish, and click OK.

Repeat these steps for each Excel sheet you want to query.
