Error comes out when running the following codes, i guess it is caused by
the field name "ship.date"

varSql2 = "SELECT PRODUCT, [Unit Price] as UNIT_PRICE, ship.date, sum([Open
Qty]) as SUM_OPEN_QTY from [Raw$] group by Product, [Unit Price], ship.date"

Set varQry2 = Worksheets("test").QueryTables.Add(Connection:=varConn2,
Destination:=Worksheets("test").Range("a1"), Sql:=varSql2)

Worksheets("test").Range("A:IV").ClearContents

varQry2.BackgroundQuery = False

Try putting square brackets around ship.date, as in [ship.date]

I thought the [] might help, but since they don't I'm not sure there is an
answer, other than you have to get the dot out of any column you want to use
in a SQL statement, because "." is used to qualify objects, as in
Database.Schema.Table.Column.
