I am trying to get a table from production to development created and populated with data in Prod. When I create a package to set the data flow on the available input columns in mappings I do not see any columns there. The source has been defined as the production table.

While importing data from Excel source , some column is getting null value even though excel column has value.To Resolve the issue we tried with

1.Change the Value of the Row TypeGuessRows from 8 (Default value) to 0 and ImportMixedType = text
• xls
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftJet4.0EnginesExcel
1.Change the Value of the Row TypeGuessRows from 8 (Default value) to 0 and ImportMixedType = text
the connection string of the excel
UPPER(REVERSE(SUBSTRING( REVERSE(@[User::VarInputExcelFile]), 1, 5) ) ) == ".XLSX" ? "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" + @[User::VarInputExcelFile] + ";Extended Properties="Excel 12.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1";":"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data
Source=" + @[User::VarInputExcelFile] + ";Extended Properties="EXCEL 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1";"
by doing the above setting also , the column is coming as null from excel source even though there is data in excel.
Hello everybody
I have one question about deleting blank row on flat file destination from conditional split.
I create an SSIS package to filter data from Flat file source.
On flat file source, it is Ragged right format and header row delimeter in {CR}{LF}
the coulums are devided manulaay using markers.
I use only 2 columns divided and send the source into conditional split task and the conditions are given to filter data,
when the output from conditional split is placed on flat file destination, i notice blank rows on the output. I want to delete the blank rows so the result data can be displayed continuously in rows.
anybody has any idea for this? I know the script task will work but hope to avoid to use script task.
Thank you in advance for all the help.
i have an SSIS package that exports to an excel file. This works fine. the problem is that it appends the data instead of overwriting the file. Is there any way to overwrite the file like you can with a flat file? I have to email the file everyweek and don't want to have to clear it out manually. Any help would be appreciated

Hi All,
Few days back we faced a problem when we were doing an Export to Excel of a report which was using sub-reports. After going thro. the knowledge base articles we came to know that SSRS currently doesn't suppot this option, an alternate is to use use List instead of tables, so we used List and did all the formatting with the list and the data was displayed correctly and it was Exporting to Excel also properly. But now we found out that after doing an Export to Excel, the Excel File is leaving blank rows between the data (i.e.,) If the report consists of two rows, then it displays the first row in the 10th row of excel and the second row in the 12th row of excel. The 11th row is blank and it appears as a small blank row between 10 and 12. The actual problem because of this is we are not able to do Auto filter in Excel, because Excel by default considers the values only until it encounters a blank row when we are doing auto filter. So is there a way to avoid this blank row while exporting to Excel, we have tried to remove the borders and all other stuffs but nothing seems to work. Have anyone encountered the same problem or is there any work around for this problem. Thanks in advance.

Hello-
I'm not able to find this information so I thought I would ask it here. I'm in the process of exporting some data from a OLE source to a excel spreadsheet. My only problem is that in the beginning of the spreadsheet there are some logos and other misc data. So I need to start my data dump on a few cells below all of this information . Is there a way to tell SSIS a certain cell to begin the data pull from a database table? I just want to start for example in cell "A50" instead of "A1". Is this possible ?

SQL Task using ADO enumrator read one record(one report), Give that record to For Each contair which Create the Excel file on the fly using one of variable from my table and uses a stored procedure to dump data to excel using Dataflow Task.
xlsQuery
CREATE TABLE `Sheet1` ( `FiscalYear` Short, `FiscalPeriod` Byte, `STORE #` Short, `Total Markups` Decimal(15,2), `Less Markdown SubTotal` Decimal(15,2), `Total Markup` Decimal(15,2) ) GO

Does it mean for 10 reports, I have to create 10 different data flow tasks, or it can be done using one data flow tasks but changing columns on the run time.

I am looking to generate batch reports in an excel format when data becomes available. I want those files in a shared directory and I want the ability to send them out via email. Formatting is very important. I cannot use SSRS because the spreadsheets need additional formatting that SSRS does not provide (naming of tabs, numbers formatted as numbers without "the number in the cell is formatted as text..." comment, etc.). I also need to get this done quickly.
SoftArtisans OfficeWriter seemed to have a solution that generating excel sheets on the server using datatags in cells. I saw another post on xlsgen (http://www.excelgenerator.com/). I am a little suprised there is no Microsoft solution. Is there one outside of installing Excel on the server?

Is it possible to force the generated CREATE TABLE code to maintain the same field order within the OLE DB source that feeds its. I have a feeling its random property I will never find. However with the large number of fields I am dealing with and the necessity to have an exact order. I was hoping there was an easier work around then to recreate the CREATE TABLE sql manually.

I am exporting table rows (based on a query) into an excel file but I don't want to append to the file. I would like to delete the rows that were previously added and then add the new data. The file has column headings and I would like these to exist all the time.
I know how to export the data but don't know how to delete 'old' data rows from excel.
Any guidance will be highly appreciated.

Hi ,
I am retrieving some data that contains three or four hundred thousand rows. These rows are supposed to go into an excel file with multiple worksheets, since one Excel worksheet cannot handle rows that are more than 65536. Below is what I need to achieve:
Dynamically create mutiple worksheets.
Re-direct data like this i.e. first 64K in first worksheet and next 64K in next worksheet and so on.
Dynamically name the work sheet with the start value in that work sheet e.g. OrderNumber or OrderDate.
Can we achieve this directly/indirectly?
Your help will be appreciated.

I assume that this is caused by the no. of records im loading since the .xls file can only contain 65,000 records.... i tried using the .xlsx file but i guess it only accepts .xls.
What's the alternative to load to excel 2005 with this numbers of records?

I checked the integrity and it seems like when i try opening the file with Excel ,one of the columns is not fitting in one cell, instead, its taking two cell space ?
With Excel , i was getting the error message saying "Field Name ABC cannot convert between unicode and non unicode string data types".

I'm trying to export data to an Excel destination. I'm receving the following error on a notes column which is an nvarchar(max) datatype.
Error: 0xC0202025 at Data Flow Task, Excel Destination [124]: Cannot create an OLE DB accessor. Verify that the column metadata is valid.
I realize that the charcater limit on an Excel cell is 32, 767 characters, but none of the test data that I'm using is close to that. I've also tried using ntext and receive the same error. When I change the datatype to nvarchar(4000), it works fine. I've also changed the destination to a flat file using nvarchar(max) and I don't receive the error. Unfortunately, our vendor specifies that they have to have an Excel file. Does anyone know what is causing this error, if it's a bug, or have any suggestions?

I have an SSIS package that produces an Excel output file say File1
The Excel output file is created from a previous script task by copying a standard excel template to File1
after the copy, File1 has the disclaimer, legend etc... and a header row at row 10.
So data rows should only start at row 11.
I was googling and found that people who read Excel file using an Excel source component have been successful reading
from a range by the use of the OPENROWSET property. It is said to set this property to Sheet1$A5-B999
to start reading from row 5.
I tried to set the OPENROWSET property to be Sheet1$A11-B999 but am getting an error "Check that object exists"
(Sheet1 does exist) So I guess it is the range that has an improper syntax or something else is wrong.
Please advise. Thanks
