Excel > Microsoft Query > SQL Server > Multiple Parameters

Question

Hi, Im relatively new to sql server and excel/microsoft query,

I have a query like this

Select ...[data]...B1.b,B2.b,B3.b From TABLEA 
Inner join (
 SELECT ---[data]...sum(...) as b From TABLEB
 WHERE Date between [startdate] and [enddate]
) as B1
Inner join (
 SELECT ---[data]...sum(...) as b From TABLEB
 WHERE Date between [startdate-1week] and [enddate]
) as B2
Inner join (
 SELECT ---[data]...sum(...) as b From TABLEB
 WHERE Date between [startdate-2weeks] and [enddate]
) as B3
Where Date between [startdate] and [enddate]

It works, when i introduce the dates manually, but i need them to be "Dynamic" (introduced from excel) but, when I put the "?" (for parameters) on all the dates, it throws an error.

"Invalid Parameter Number"

:D How can i make this work, within excel?

Im using SQL Server and Microsoft Query Connection Data.

Take a look at this thread, then this page to see examples of using parameters with ADO.

You should try naming parameters like this: @parameter1
