Loop months of the year in this code
Posted on 2012-12-28
I am trying to loop 3 months of the year into the code below. How do I write this type of loop statement. I am drawing a blank for some reason...
'How turn this into a loop where Var1 is a loop of January, February, March so that I get the total for all 3 months
select count(*) from table where Month = Var1
rec2.CursorLocation = adUseClient
rec2.Open (esql), conn, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic
Total = Total + rec.Fields(0)

Does your table have a column named "month"? If this is a new table, I should advise you to have column names that are different than database function names.
What type of column is "month" (numeric or text)?
Normally, I would create a Select statement that summed/counted the data for a date range, rather than executing three different Select statements.

Month column is text.
What I need was a loop to go through specified months as mentioned in the question.
Thanks

This would answer one interpretation of your question:
Sub LoopSub(conn As Connection)
Dim Var1 As String
Dim m As Integer
Dim eSQL As String
Dim rec2 As New ADODB.Recordset
Dim Total As Double
For m = 1 To 3
Var1 = Format(DateSerial(2000, m, 1), "MMMM")
eSQL = "select count(*) from table where Month = " ' & Var1 & '"
rec2.CursorLocation = adUseClient
rec2.Open eSQL, conn, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic
Total = Total + rec2.Fields(0)
rec2.Close
Next m
End Sub
This code would convert what you already have into a loop that runs 3 times:
Const AllMonths As String = "January February March"
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To 2
select count(*) from table where Month = Split(AllMonths)(i)
rec2.CursorLocation = adUseClient
rec2.Open (esql), conn, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic
Total = Total + rec.Fields(0)
Next i
