My apologies for the code tags. I even read the rules and put the code (using the # key) and it for some reason still didn't work.

Mike, I like your idea, but two things: 1) Action Sports is just one of the names of one of the tabs, there will be other tabs with different names 2) I made the Action Sports piece a variable and the Range a variable and concatenated both and it still throws an error. I'm attaching a screenshot. Thanks again for any help!

Can you upload you workbook, 6pm is not a worksheet in your workbook. Looks like 6PM_BU should be the name.

Sorry, I should have just sent an example spreadsheet originally. FYI, in VBA References, Active X 2.6 Object Library needs enabled. Thanks!

Ok one question, what is the value of Metric? In the code its activecell?

I had to update one line of code for the runcount since I deleted a column before I sent it to you. Please use the attached sheet. Metric is the value in the cells from I1 to P1. It loops through the top cells setting Metric = to ORDERS, UNITS, COST, etc in each successive loop.

This should work for you.

4 problems.
1.) excel 2007 or greater use ACE 12.0 and not Jet.
2.)When quering and excel sheet, Sheet name must have the $ symbol after, ex: Sheet1$
3.) Remove the $ from the Range
4.)And TRANSFORM Sum(" & Metric & ")" need to be TRANSFORM Sum(" & Metric & ") AS MySum. Where MySum could be anything you want it to be.

Hope this help.

Also noticed few things, You dont need to make the connection to the workbook inside the loop. Just make it before entering the loop. I cleaned up a few other things so the screens not jumping around.

Mike! You're a wonderful, wonderful man. I'd certainly never have known anything about the ACE instead of Jet. It works like a charm. Thanks so much for all your help!
