I am developing a MS Excel 2013 tool with VBA, which involves the use of QueryTables.
One inconvenience is accessing existing QueryTables within an Excel worksheet. Currently, the only method I can find to access a query table is by integer indexing. I came up with the following code for a quick proof of concept:
Sub RefreshDataQuery()
Dim querySheet As Worksheet
Dim interface As Worksheet
Set querySheet = Worksheets("QTable")
Set interface = Worksheets("Interface")
Dim sh As Worksheet
Dim QT As QueryTable
Dim startTime As Double
Dim endTime As Double
Set QT = querySheet.ListObjects.item(1).QueryTable
startTime = Timer
QT.Refresh
endTime = Timer - startTime
interface.Cells(1, 1).Value = "Elapsed time to run query"
interface.Cells(1, 2).Value = endTime
interface.Cells(1, 3).Value = "Seconds"
End Sub
This works, but I don't want to do it this way. The end product tool will have up to five different QueryTables. I want to refer to a QueryTable by its name.
How could I translate:
Set QT = querySheet.ListObjects.item(1).QueryTable
To something along the lines of:
Set QT = querySheet.ListObjects.items.QueryTable("My Query Table")
This works:
Range("ClassifiedAsSupply").ListObject.QueryTable.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=True
