Need Some Advise On Loading Data From Excel Sheet
Oct 25, 2005I insert/update thousands of line items daily to my MS SQL 2k db each day from multiple excel sheets that are uploaded. In Microsoft's infinite wisdom Excel and MS SQL is not "Fully" compatible and some characters throw off the uploads, cause errors in loading, etc. Each Excel sheet has from a few rows up to 50,000 rows or more. We load around 100 of these Excel sheets each day depending on what our users upload.
Our main problem appears to be with "Special Characters", anything that is not a number or letter seems to be an issue in loads. We have written our scripts to ignore a certain set of characters such as #,!, -, ', ", [, ], {, }, +, =, *, %, ~, `, <,>, etc. But we still get errors. This has become a frustrating nightmare. Any help in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
I have tried ASP scripts, VB created exe's, converting the Excel sheet to a text file, then uploading, and other various means to get this process error free. Some files never have issues loading, some excel files will error out and not at the same point each time. We can run the same file 5 times in a row and it will stop/error at a different point each time without any rhyme or reason.
Now we are not just doing an "Insert", there are several variables that are at work when loading the data, like combining exact items into one row, associating data with ID's in another table, etc. It is not just a simple, take this data and place it here scenerio which makes this a serious headache to figure out how to make this error free and troubleshoot.
Is there some information or a direction I should look to consider a solid solution to importing data from Excel sheets to a MS SQL 2k db? These files are loaded into a specific folder and on upload they are also recorded in a table marked ready for update in the db. Our scheduler runs the exe associated with that users ID and loads their data, overwriting their previous data load, then marks the file as done.
Is there a proven method, some external program that can be used to make this a solid process, or any direction you can provide for me to research?

Linking To EXCEL Database Sheet Using SQL 2005 Express
Aug 9, 2006I'm followed instructions to create a linked server to an EXCEL document that has data in 1 sheet.
Used the instructions from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306397/EN-US/
Was planning to import data using a linked server as describe in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/Q321686
"How to import data from EXCEL to SQL Server (using linked servers). All went well until...
The EXCEL document shows up under linked servers correctly, but there were no tables.
I'm using the following:
Server: Microsoft SQL Server 2000
SQL Server Managerment Studio (2005)
Does anyone have Idea what I may do to correct this problem?
I 'm using this because I didn't see any other way to import Excel into SQL Database using SMO 2005.
SMO 2005 doesn't have DTS import export commands.

Loading An Excel Sheet That Gets Populated With Value After Opening In Ssis
Nov 6, 2007
I have an excel sheet that has a bunch of columns. Some of these columns have static data but there are a few of the columns that retrieve data by making calls to servers and returning values that populate these columns. Usually about 30 mins before the columns are populated.
I then need to to load the excel sheet into a table.
I was wondering if there was anyway by which we can make the connection to the excel sheet and then force a delay of about 30 mins before it starts retriving the data?
Is this possible in ssis? Or can I achieve it by some other means?
Thanks for any help in advance

Mar 28, 2008Hello.I have loaded SQL 2005 Express (from the web) with SQL ServerManagement Studio Express. I suspect this means that the "SQL ServerAgent" is not available. This "SQL Server Agent" comes with SQL 2000(even the free version of MSDE 2000 has this feature). This agent isuseful for scheduling jobs (in conjunction with the availableEnterprise Manager).So my problem is how do I schedule jobs with this product? It isrunning on the XP OS.Regards JC.......

Import Data From Excel-Sheet Via OleDb In VB.Net - How To Get A Columns Data As String?
Oct 25, 2007 Hello,
i want to import data from an excel sheet into a database. While reading from the excel sheet OleDb automatically guesses the Datatype of each column. My Problem is the first A Column which contains ~240 Lines. 210 Lines are Numbers, the latter 30 do contain strings. When i use this code:
Code BlockDim sConn As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & conf_path_current & file_to_import & ";Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=NO"""
Dim oConn As New OleDb.OleDbConnection(sConn)
Dim cmd1 As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand("Select * From [Table$]", oConn)
Dim rdr As OleDb.OleDbDataReader = cmd1.ExecuteReader
Do While rdr.Read()
Console.WriteLine(rdr.Item(0)) 'or rdr(0).ToString
Next
it will continue to read the stuff till the String-Lines are coming.
when using Item(0), it just crashes for trying to convert a DBNull to a String, when using rdr(0).ToString() it just gives me no value.
So my question is how to tell OleDB that i want that column to be completly read as String/Varchar?
Thanks for Reading

Copy Excel Sheet To SQL 2005(Dev Edit X64) Via SSIS
Jan 30, 2007Ok...
This worked on the laptop I had last week. That laptop has ceased to be. I have a new one, which may be my problem.
I have a package that takes an Excel Sheet, makes a couple of conversions via the Data Conversion object, and places the rows into my SQL 2005 X64 database.
Here are the major exceptions:
1. [Excel Source [2479]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER. The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009. There may be error messages posted before this with more information on why the AcquireConnection method call failed. (THERE WERE NOT)
2. [Connection manager "Excel Connection Manager"] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040154. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft OLE DB Service Components" Hresult: 0x80040154 Description: "Class not registered".
Here is the rub... I am running Vista(Weeeee), and Office 2007(Double Weeeeee). Last week I was running XP, and Office 2003.
Is this a wierd Vista permission problem? The "Class not Registered" message is worrying me. Does SSIS work with Excel 2007 installed?

Empty Rows In Excel Data Sheet Used In DTS
Mar 1, 2004Hi Everyone,
I am using a DTS package where one of the inputs is an Excel Sheet. Actually this sheet is updated manually whenever required i.e once a week or sometimes once a month, but the DTS package runs everyday.
Whenever new rows are added or deleted manually in the excel sheet, empty rows are showed in the sheet after the last row of data. This hinders the DTS package, because the destination table to which the data in the Excel sheet is sent has Primary keys in it.
Can anyone suggest me how to avoid getting the empty spaces in the excel sheet.
Thanks in advance.

View 9 Replies View RelatedData Not Shown, When Report Exported To Excel-Sheet
Feb 21, 2008Hi everybody,
I'm quite new in Reporting Services and have the following problem:
I created a report which is getting its data from 5 different databases. For every database I made a subreport to get the data. In the preview and on the Reporting Server all the data is displayed find. Now I want to export the report to an Excel sheet which does work. But where the data from the subreports is to be shown it just says that subreports in table-cells has been ignored.
Another problem is that the way the report looks in the preview is fine - on the reporting server the columns are far to wide. I allready marked that the width should be fixed.
Some more information: in the main report some cells are merged. In these merged cells is the data from the subreport to be shown. The subreport displays the data in a table which has exact the same amount of colums (and the same size) the cells in the main report had before merging.
Thanks in advance,
Steph
