Hi,

I have a sql query that reads data from excel file.
Currently the sheetname and excel path are hard-coded. How can I change them to dynamic (using parameters)?

Thanks


SELECT  left (cast(convert(varchar , [division description] )as varchar (max)) 
,charindex(' ',cast(convert(varchar , [division description] )as varchar (max)),1)-1)  
 as  itemcatalog_businessunit_description
INTO #tmptest

FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
                'Excel 8.0;Database=c:\test\Catalog_big.xls',
                ' SELECT * FROM [catalog SU08$]')
declare @pathname varchar (3000)
set @pathname='[catalog SU08$]'
