HI,

Select * From test_table where rownum < ???

Where ??? is equal to a data present in cell D4 of sheet 1.

How do i write my SQL statement inside the data connection?

THanks in advance.

strSql = "Select * From test_table where MyValue < ' " & sheet1!D4 & " ' ; "

rs.Open strSQL, cn, adOpenStatic, adLockReadOnly

You might also look into OO4O (Oracle Objects for OLE)

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/windows/downloads/utilsoft-433581.html

I used it some years ago in working with an Oracle database and makes retrieving data quite easy. But looking at that page it looks like it hasn't been updated beyond a version for Excel 2003, which might or might not work with 2007/2010 32-bit, doubtful if it would work with 64-bit versions of Excel.
