Convert Excel order invoice to SQL INSERT Query - mysql

Question

Recently at the company where I work I've needed to import a bunch of orders from excel into our database so that they can be processed and shipped. Many of these excel documents have hundreds of columns. I'm looking for a clean way to convert multiple rows and columns containing order data into a dump of SQL queries.
Here is what I'm working with.
Each order is a single row identified by the OrderID, and the quantity of each product is defined in the cell which corresponds to the ProductID.
I'm using the following formula to convert each cell (if filled) into a value for an SQL query:
=CONCATENATE(IF(ISBLANK(B3),"",("("&B3&", "&B$1&", "&$A3&"), ")))
The result for each filled cell is something like:
(1, 22, 1),
What I want to be able to do, is concatenate each cell (if filled) into one long string per order without having hundreds of columns filled with the same formula. Like this:
(5, 12, 23), (5, 13, 23), (100, 7, 23), (50, 1, 23), (100, 3, 23),
Thanks.

Try This -
VBA Code
Function InsStr(Product As Range, Order As String, Qty As Range)
Dim tmpString As String: tmpString = ""
Dim tmpCount As Integer: tmpCount = 1
For Each cell In Qty
If cell <> "" Then
If tmpCount > 1 Then tmpString = tmpString & ","
tmpString = tmpString & "(" & cell & "," & Product(tmpCount) & "," & Order & ")"
End If
tmpCount = tmpCount + 1
Next cell
InsStr = tmpString
End Function
and use Formula as =InsStr(B1:X1,A3,B3:X3)
