I have a DTS package that imports excel spreadsheets.
The excel spreadsheet cells contain numbers based on vlookups. Now negative values appear in these cells as -999 but when loaded into the table they appear as (999).
Is there anyway way to configure it to just load -999? The tricky part is I don't have control over the format of the spreadsheet cell and the destination table field is varchar. I am hoping there is some way that the DTS interprets and picks up the value as it is displayed in excel.
Or do I have to stick with converting it manually by replacing '(' and ')' with nothing and appending '-'?
I've already created a table and i wanna to insert values in that more than five hundred row ,that values are stored in Excel files, Here I've the doubt is it possible to insert values from excel sheet? I've current data base of ms sql 2000, if it is possible means, how to insert values using query?
calculating profit... how do I write an update query that will correct the gross profit calculated column for all negative qty transactions
Basically in the stored procedure that creates the table the query includes:
Profit = CASE Sale WHEN 0 THEN 0 ELSE (Sale - Cost) END, which is wrong when sale and cost is negative the formula becomes (-Sale + Cost).... I want it to be -(Sale-Cost) (where sale any cost ignores negative sign.....
I have the following query, I would like to know if I can replace negative values with a zero and if a posiive value appears then leave the value alone?
I´m working with chart type bar (Simple Bar) and i received four values from stored procedure, all values are negative numbers. The Reporting Service shows the values in the chart, but, doesn't show the "bars".... If one of four values will be positive, the report shows the values and the "bars" but if all values will be negative, the report shows just de values.
What do I do for the bars appear with four negative values ?
I am trying to import about 3300 lines of data from excel. Some of the columns in excel have negative, positive and even 0 as numbers.
I have matched those columns in the DB and have tried all the different data types that i thought should work, but on import, all negative and 0 numbers get dropped.
I have played with the excel formatting as well, but nothing seems to work.
Could anyone, please, explain to me why I have negative values inRowModCtr column in sysobjects table? I have tested that after I updatestatistics the RowModCtr column is reset to 0. But why do I havenegative values in the first place? Thx.
I'm starting out with Visual Studio 2008 and SQL Server CE and have come unstuck at the first hurdle.
I have performed the below simple steps: 1. I have created a table with an identity field in it. The identify increment is a positive value (1). This works fine and I can populate data to the table directly. 2. I drag the table adapter from the dataset to a form to create a datagrid form.
When I run this form, the field for the identify column populates with negative values and when I go to save the record the application errors.
Note: this only happens with SQL Server CE. I do exactly the same with a server based db and get positive increments via the form.
The simple-ugly solution is to just set a negative increment in the table to match what is going on via the form, but this strikes me as a cop out. It is most likely that I am overlooking something obvious and I would be very appreciative if someone could point me in the right direction.
I have a table that displays a bunch of data based on their percentage changes.
There is a parameter (let's say 5%) that the user can set to display only the data which either increased more than 5% or decreased more than 5%.
I want to have a space between the positive changes and the negative changes. ie, to create a blank row between the +'s and the -'s. Does anyone know of a way to do this?
I have both positive and negative values in a single column, where I want sum total of positive values & negative values. Is there any Expression for this to sort out.
I am trying to import an xlsx spreadsheet into a sql 2008 r2 database using the SSMS Import Wizard. When pointed to the spreadsheet ("choose a data source")  the Import Wizard returns this error:
"The operation could not be completed" The Microsoft ACE.OLEDB.12.0 provider is not registered on the local machine (System.Data)
How can I address that issue? (e.g. Where is this provider and how do I install it?)
l've some excel files controlled by Vendor which changing frequently. The only thing does not change is the header name of each column.
So my question is, is there any way to create a new table based on the excel file selected including the column name in SSIS? So that l can use the data reader as source to select those columns l am interested on and start the integration.
I am using a Excel Source to get the data from an excel file to sql server 2005 table. A couple columns are coming in a double precision float, but some values have characters in them, but those values are coming out as null, even though I changed the datatype from float to unicode string. Any inputs on resolving this will be much appreciated.
I have SQL Server 2012 SSIS. I have Excel source and OLE DB Destination.I have problem with importing CustomerSales column.CustomerSales values like 1000.00,2000.10,3000.30,NotAvailable.So I have decimal values and nvarchar mixed in on Excel column. This is requirement for solution.However SSIS reads only numeric values correctly and nvarchar values are set as Null. Why?
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Import_CustomerSales]( Â [CustomerId] [nvarchar](50) NULL, Â [CustomeName] [nvarchar](50) NULL, Â [CustomerSales] [nvarchar](50) NULL ) ON [PRIMARY]
Hi I want to import excel in SSIS via sql command and change the data types. can anyone guide me on this or give me some sample command on how to change datatypes explicitly.
I'm importing a multi tab spreadsheet using Import wizard, which I understand to use the same internals as SSIS. The total number of columns in the spread sheet will be over 500. The import wizard defaults everything to varchar 255. I understand there is an XML file I can manipulate to change this and they are located
I am importing data from Excel to SQL Server. My Excel files are .html file format. Using ActiveX Script I am saving that file to xls file format as follows
Set myXL = CreateObject("Excel.Application") Set myXLWorkBook = myXL.Workbooks.Open(filename) Set myXLWorkSheet = myXL.ActiveSheet
myXLWorkBook.SaveAs filename, 43 '43-xlExcel9795 Set oPkg = DTSGlobalVariables.Parent Set oConn = oPkg.Connections("Excel")
This script works fine but it prompts me that the file already exists do you want to replace it. How can I avoid this prompt
Secondly this file contains data like that Col1 Col9 Col10 Row-1 Report Name Row-2 From Date Row-3 To Date Location Count Amount 9999 1 100.00 9876 10 20.40
Where Row are the excel rows
The TransformData Task thinks that the Col 1 is of nvarchar(255) but after the tranfer all values in Col1 is NULL. How can I convert a nvarchar to Char or varchar
I'm needing to import a .csv file into a SQL database. This needs to be done through automation so I need the DOS commands, if any. Or if someone knows a better way, feel free to enlighten me.
I've tried looking in books online for SQL server but haven't had much luck.
I've been asked to create an automated DTS import which is to take place each and every evening. The import routine is to import data into an SQL table from an Excel spreadsheet. The spreadsheet is not massively complicated though is does contain formulas and calculations. When using the DTS Wizard: "Choose Data Sourse" Data Source = Microsoft Excel 97-2000 I then browse to the file name.
"Choose Destination" I select the Server name and Database to import into.
"Specify Table Copy or Query" I select 'Use a query to specify the data transfer' then click Next.
I then click on the query builder and here's where I get stuck. The Source tables panel contains many rows and when expanded they all contain the same thing (field headings in the Excel spreadsheet).
I'm totally stuck here - can anyone help? :confused:
I have to import Excel file to SQL Server 2005 using SSIS. I am having alot of problems and was wondering if it's no trouble if you could please instruct me how to proceed.
My scenario: I have an excel file that contains a heading and then subheading such as HEADING Acc_g Acc_n 12 n_a2 13 n_b3
My database has a table called accounts with fields acc_g and acc_n. I need to enter the values from the excel into the table. I tried doing it but SSIS also tries to insert the rows following the last line in excel and returns nulls and the table does't allow null values. How can i resolve it?
I am trying to import data from an excel spreadsheet. The file comes from a client and sometimes it may not have any data, that is, it will be blank. It seems that the Excel Source in SSIS does not like empty files, is there any way around this? I suppose I can check to see if it is empty and abort the import process but I am not sure how to do this. Any other ideas on how to get around this??
i want a simple way (straight forward) to import data from excel to sql, not only this, but the excel file is not located on the SQL server itself. my situation is the a person upload a file via asp.net and the file should be imported to excel(i want to use sql to transform and not parse in .net, then insert into database).
Hi, I'm building a web application in VB.NET 1.1 where users will upload Excel files at this webpage and the web application will transfer the data from the uploaded Excel file into MS SQL 2000. There are around 600-700 records and about 56 columns in the Excel file which is to be uploaded daily. There will be a few different files which I need to implement for as well. I've sourced for and tried alot of methods. But either they can't satisfy my requirements or they just can't simply work. - Most simple and direct way I've tried is creating a oledb connection to the Excel file in the following codes... Function TestUploadData1(ByVal vFile As String) As String Dim Oleda As System.Data.OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter Dim Olecn As System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection Dim dt1 As DataTable Olecn = New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection( _ "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _ "Data Source=" & vFile & ";" & _ "Extended Properties=Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes") Olecn.Open() Dim ExcelCommand As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand("SELECT INTO [ODBC;Driver={SQL Server};Server=(local);Database=dbSSC;Trusted_Conn ection=yes].[tblOutstanding] FROM [Report$];", Olecn) ExcelCommand.ExecuteNonQuery() Olecn.Close() End Function But from the above codes I kept getting the error "Could not find installable ISAM." at the line Olecn.Open(). I've tried to set the registry to C:WindowsSystem32msexcl40.dll but to no avail... - I've tried another method using the OpenRowSet in the following codes Function TestUploadData2(ByVal vFile As String) As String Dim cn As SqlConnection Dim cm As SqlCommand Dim strSQL As String cn = New SqlConnection("server=localhost; user ID=accessSSC; password=accessSSC541; database=dbSSC") cn.Open() strSQL = "INSERT INTO tblOutstanding SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Excel 8.0;Database=" & vFile & ";HDR=Yes','SELECT * FROM [Report$]')" cm = New SqlCommand(strSQL, cn) cm.ExecuteNonQuery() cn.Close() End Function For the above codes, I kept getting the error "Ad hoc access to OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' has been denied. You must access this provider through a linked server." at the line cm.ExecuteNonQuery() and I've tried to disable the Ad Hoc settings in the registry and tried to create a link server but to no avail as well... - I've tried DTS but I'd need to DTS package to run whenever the users upload a file. Is there an easy way that I can run the designated DTS package to run through my .Net web application? Any help would be deeply appreciated. Thanks & Regards, Keith Chang
I am writing a custom application which will allow users to upload data in a Excel to SQLServer.
The problem I have is that Excel can come with a number of worksheets. I would ideally like to read from the default work sheet - is there a way I can specify that my code should only pick up the default worksheet?
