Esta pieza de vba funcionó para mí:
Sub connect()
Dim Password As String
Dim SQLStr As String
'OMIT Dim Cn statement
Dim Server_Name As String
Dim User_ID As String
Dim Database_Name As String
'OMIT Dim rs statement
Set rs = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset") 'EBGen-Daily
Server_Name = Range("b2").Value
Database_name = Range("b3").Value ' Name of database
User_ID = Range("b4").Value 'id user or username
Password = Range("b5").Value 'Password
SQLStr = "SELECT * FROM ComputingNotesTable"
Set Cn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") 'NEW STATEMENT
Cn.Open "Driver={MySQL ODBC 5.2.2 Driver};Server=" & _
Server_Name & ";Database=" & Database_Name & _
";Uid=" & User_ID & ";Pwd=" & Password & ";"
rs.Open SQLStr, Cn, adOpenStatic
Dim myArray()
myArray = rs.GetRows()
kolumner = UBound(myArray, 1)
rader = UBound(myArray, 2)
For K = 0 To kolumner ' Using For loop data are displayed
Range("a5").Offset(0, K).Value = rs.Fields(K).Name
For R = 0 To rader
Range("A5").Offset(R + 1, K).Value = myArray(K, R)
Next
Next
rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing
Cn.Close
Set Cn = Nothing
End Sub
