i've been reading some problems with excel source data being force as
numeric type when there are string/numeric type in the data, but adding
IMEX=1 to the extended properties will fix this problem...this is true
but not in my case...
say my excel file have about 40 rows..if row 1-39 in column A are all
NULL and row 40 has a string in it, the string in row 40 will not be
converted and the excel source is forcing this column A data type to be
numeric..having IMEX=1 in there does not work..however..if i add a
string anywhere in row 1-8 in column A, the the string in row 40 will
be converted because the external data type now is a string..
anyone know how to solve this problem?

All,
I'm having trouble with a query where I need to limit a resultset by comparing (using a WHERE clause) a field that is alphanumeric with one that is numeric. I've tried converting, casting, and case statements, but I either get an overflow error or a big slap on the wrist by SQL Server 2005. Does anyone have any good solutions to this? I've been racking my brain for a while now.
Thanks for the help!

I have the Excel Connection Manager and Source to read the contents from an Excel file. For some reason couple of numeric fields from the Excel worksheet are brought over as nulls even though they have a value of 300 and 150. I am not sure why this is happening. I looked into the format of the fields and they are set to General in Excel, I tried setting them to numeric and that did not help.
All the other content from the excel file is coming thru except for the 2 numeric fields.
I tried to bring the contents from the excel source to a text file in csv format and for some reason the 2 numeric fields came out as blank.
Any inputs on getting this addressed will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Manisha

I'm using SSIS 2005 Enterprise edition, I'm creating a package that reads an excel (xls) file using the "excel source" component, and it dumps the data into an OLEDB destination (a sql server). When I drag the excel source component and create the excel connection to my file the component automatically reads the columns and their datatypes.
The problem is that I have a column which has numeric data and the package uploads as NULL every number that starts with a zero. (note: in excel this column is formatted as "text", despite it has only numbers, because it's the only way excel maintains the left sided zeros).
So I checked the data types by right clicking the excel source component -> show advanced editor and my surprise is that this column's data type is detected as double-precision float, and it doesn't let me change it. URL... but it only works when the first row of data has a number beginning with zero on this column. How to get the data imported correctly?

Is it possible to write a sql statement to skip aplpha numeric values? I got a field containing these values; 20, 70, 150, 140, 100, KORT, 90, 180, 160. And I'm trying to check if any value is bigger than 175 (@Limit), but I want to skip the value 'KORT'. So is it possible to check if a value is numeric or not? ISNULL( CONVERT(int, ProductVariant.Size), 0) > @Limit Regards, Sigurd

I have seen this problem posted several times and not seen an applicable solution yet. No offense, the suggestions may have been good for those scenarios, but not this one.
Several (at least 4) Excel Spreadsheets come from a vendor that I need to import to a table. They are uploaded via web to a directory so they can be imported by a scheduled DTS package.
Darren Green's site gave me some good info on how to get this far, btw.
But I cannot overcome the NULL-ifying of Column Headers for Numeric fields when the spreadsheet is imported.
I've tried:
DTSDestination("Yr1") = trim(DTSSource("F7"))
DTSDestination("Yr1") = CHR(34) & trim(DTSSource("F7")) & CHR(34)
DTSDestination("Yr1") = cstr("0" & trim(DTSSource("F7)))
DTSDestination("Yr1") = clng("0" & DTSSource("F7")))
Named ranges, along with any sort of spreadsheet editing is too time consuming.
And since they come from a vendor, having them come to us with the required items in place is not possible.
Even though it seems easy enough, it's a toughy.
Any help would be rewarded with respect and admiration.
Thanks, Mike

I have a XL source file which contains the 1st column value is some of Numeric and alpha numeric (ex. 1,1A,1B,2,2A,2B),
i have fired the select statement (select * from [sch 1 a$A9155] where f1 is not null ) in XL source editor, its not showing the numeric records means 1 and 2 were excluding from the above select statement i think it was due to combining numeric and alpha numeric.
I need both records should select , please anyone can help me to sort out the issue.

I am trying to get the contents of the Excel Files dynamically and dumping into the SQL Database using SSIS. Through WMI Event Watcher, I could find when one or more Excel files dumped in a particular folder and using ForEach Loop Container I was able to take all the filenames and pass it through Variables. But at the same time in the Data Flow, I have to pass each Sheet of an Excel File to the Excel Source control and export the data to my SQL Database using OLEDB Destination.
For that I need to get the names of each sheets in an Excel File and pass it to the Excel Source Control through variables. But when I give Data Access Mode as "Table name or view name variable" and provide the variable name in that, then it is giving an error message as "A destination table name has not been provided".
And at the same time, Since I was not able to provide an static Filename (as I am passing through Variables), when I tried to map the columns in the OleDB Destination, it is not allowing me to map the columns.
So all these things I should do at Run-time using Variables in SSIS. I don't want to hard-code any filenames or Sheet names. If any one of you have a solution, please share with me.
Thanks & Regards,
Prakash Srinivasan

I am having a problem importing an Excel spreadsheet. I have a column inan Excel sheet with alphanumeric text and some of the cells are numeric.Some of the cells contain numbers like 12345.6 and when DTS is doneimporting it into a field that is nvarchar the results are"12345.600000000001". I have tried:1. Changing the format of the Excel column to text2. Using the formula =text(a1,0) which only truncates the .63. Using the formula =t(a1) which will remove some numeric representations4. Exporting the sheet to CSV or TXT first which will not enclose the cellcontents with ""5. Beating the computer with a nine ironNone of these options work. Any idea anyone?Don VonderBurg

Hello,
I have a problem with retreving a excel data through excel source component.

While i click on preview button of Excel source it shows only the text values and not the int or decimal values, its returning NULL for those cells. I tried to use convert function, its throwing an error as
TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio
------------------------------
There was an error displaying the preview.
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Undefined function 'Convert' in expression. (Microsoft JET Database Engine)
Is there any other function to change the format of the cell or i need to some thing else

Hello,
I have a table in SQL Server 2005 that has an NVarchar(50) column called AcctCode. I am trying to populate this column from an Excel source. I am doing this from the Import/Export Wizrds in Management Studio. When I attempt the import from the Excel file, all the the AcctCode data that is alpha numeric or just alpha will import, but the all numeric data comes in as NULL.
If I make AcctCode NOT NULL, I get an integrity contraint error from the wizard. The rest of the records import. I've tried to make the column in the Excel file type 'text', and have tried it with no formatting on this column.
Why won't the all numeric Acctcodes import?
Thank you for your help!

how to combine measures and fields coming from an analytical model (tabular) along with some Excel calculations. Basically I want to provide users with a simple report (to be displayed in SharePoint Excel services) containing charts and slicers. The data comes from a tabular model, and most of the calculations are in the model as well.However there is some little tweaking that must be done. For example I might need additional calculated columns, but I don't feel the need to modify the tabular model for that. I was wondering if I could do this within Excel as well -- but without having to bring all the data through a pivot table, then manipulate it and then show it on the report. So to be clear I do not want any pivot tables lying around, even if on a hidden sheet.
I noticed that when selecting a pivot chart in Excel, at the ribbon menu under "PIVOTCHART TOOLS"/"ANALYSE" there is a group of buttons named "Calculations". One of them is named OLAP Tools.Is it fair to assume that these options will allow me to create new measures at the Excel side, without affecting my tabular model?

I am developing a SSIS package with VS2013 to send data from SQL Server 2014 to an Excel Destination. But in the SSIS package, from the excel destination advanced editor, when I set the format of the excel destination external columns to double precision float DT_R8, it is returned to DT_WSTR automatically.Due to that, data sent to Excel are not processed as numeric but as text and formatted as such. I need the column to be created as numeric.

Hi,
I have found a problem with my SSIS package. The package takes a Excel File using the Excel Source/Excel connection manager objects. There's a Data Conversion Object which sets all the fields to be DT_STR and then I import the data into a Holding table using a OLEDB Destination Object.
My Excel file contains a list of Code/Description pairs. The problem I have is that I can have data such as the following
CODE
A101
A102
A103
12
1.2i
What seems to be happening is that when the data is imported into the holding table and the first rows are Alphanumeric then the fields where there's a code such as 12 get converted to NULL for some reason. If all the codes are the same type (either Alphanumeric or numericit doesn't matter, as long as they are all the same) the import works perfectly well.
I need to be able to import all of these codes without SSIS converting some to NULL. Has anyone come across this problem before? If so, is there something I am doing wrong or a workaround?
Many thanks in advance
Rob

Any ideas ??

I'm trying to write a DTS package that reads data from an excel spreadsheet. I'm having a problem getting all the data from the spreadsheet, seems that OLE DB is "too" smart. There is one column that has either numeric values or text values in its row cells. When I browse the spreadsheet in DTS (transform properties, browse button) I only see the text values. OLE DB has placed nulls or blanks into the cells with the numeric values. If I edit the spreadsheet to change the column header to contain a number, then the browse window shows only the numeric values and blanks out the text values. Any suggestion on how to get OLE DB/DTS to treat the numeric values as text? In the spreadsheet, I've tried changing the cell formats to text and to general. This had no effect.

Hi:
I use a SSIS package to loop thro a folder and load data from multiple excel files to a SQL2005 table. Works fine except when an excel has a missing col.
Col names in xls are always a subset of col names in the table. The missing cols are random, else I would just have made another package:-)
Once a missing column is found, I get runtime and design time errors, and metadata problems. How can a get SSIS to ignore missing columns?
TIA

Hi,
I have an Excel spreasheet - the first column is text, the second numbers, the third a mix of the two. If I point An Excel Source at this in my data flow, it will import the first two columns without problem, but not the third: all cells containing text are being imported as nulls, but those containing numbers are imported just fine.
Even if the numbers are stored as text, they are converted into numbers at import and genuine text is still discarded. It's treated as if the entire column is numeric if there's just one numeric value in it.
I can get around this by creating a .csv or .txt file from the excel file, but that will add an extra layer of admin to this process and I'm tryuing to make it as seamless as possible
