This MSAccess tutorial explains how to create a query that accepts a start date and an end date as parameters in Access 2003 (with screenshots and step-by-step instructions).
I have been researching how to do this with queries I have that have date parameters that need to be changed each time a report is ran and at first it seemed like using Microsoft Query in Excel would be the best option. This would use the '?' Instead of the dates themselves and allow for adding parameters. I created the query with the query wizard and set it as the record source for my report. I tried with the '#' but still no luck. I've tried to execute the query through the VBA but I need that query to exist at all time in order for the cross tab query to work. – d9120 Jun 4 '12 at 14:15. A way around this is to create a generic Microsoft Query, then add parameters, then paste your parametorized query in the connection's properties. Here are the detailed steps for Excel 2010: Open Excel; Goto Data tab; From the From Other Sources button choose From Microsoft Query; The 'Choose Data Source' window will appear.
Change the value in the expression to something like: =' Date.Date.&'+Format((Parameters! Date.Value), 'yyyy-MM-dd')+'T00:00:00'. This converts the standard date value into a data cube date string. It is important to note that the leading part of the string (Date.Date) may be different depending on the dimension that the filter applies to. Where Start= (EOMONTH (Today ,-2)+1) and END = (EOMONTH (Today ,0)-1) I link the parameters to cell addresses in my spreadsheet, where i can change them if i want a different date range (set the parameter to automatically update if changed) Register To Reply., 06:29 PM #11.
Question: In Microsoft Access 2003/XP/2000/97, I'm trying to run a query based on a date. When the query opens, I would like some type of window prompting for the user to enter a 'start' date and an 'end' date. How can I do this?
Answer: You can create a parameter query that prompts for both a 'start' date and an 'end' date.
To do this, first create your query.
Then enter your 'start' date and 'end' date parameters. Parameters should be enclosed in square brackets as follows:
This will create a parameter called [Start Date] and a parameter called [End Date]. So that only those records from the Orders table will be returned where the OrderDate field is between these two dates.
Next, you probably want to ensure that the user enters a valid date in these two parameters. To do this, select Parameters under the Query menu.
When the Query Parameters window appears, enter the two parameters [Start Date] and [End Date], and select Date/Time as the data type. Click on the OK button.
Now, when you run the query, you will be prompted to enter the 'start' date.

Then prompted to enter the 'end' date.
Your query will then only return the records where the OrderDate is between these two values.

Task definition
The goal is to import data into Excel from an SQL table with some input parameters. The parameter values should come from cells in Excel, and the data should be refreshed automatically anytime the value of any parameter changes in the grid.
Oldest method: MS-Query
Oddly enough, the oldest method of MS-Query is the easiest, and doesn’t require any use of VBA. Its main drawback is that it supports only ODBC drivers, which involves a very old infrastructure that was first released in 1992. In addition, it doesn’t use Power Query technology and it’s ugly.
In Excel 2016, MS-Query can be found in the data tab.
Starting a query immediately hints at how old this UI is:
Select a DSN, and then select a table, columns and sorting order until the Query Wizard asks if you want to further edit the query:
Once inside Microsoft Query, you can do a lot of SQL editing without getting into SQL syntax. In the criteria tab, you may define filters to query and can specify that the filter values will come from parameters.
The notation <=[ToYear] means that the value is a parameter, and the prompt for this parameter will be ToYear.
Returning the query to Excel prompts the standard import dialog:

You can link parameters to cells in Excel.

At this point, anytime that cells tied to a parameter change, the query will run and produce new data. The end result should be similar to thisfile.
