Q2. If i sort the data before i export my data out to excel will it hold the sort
I am inserting rows using OLEDBDestination and want to redirect all error rows to EXCEL Destination.
I have used Data Conversion Transformation to Convert all strings to Unicode string fields before sending it to Excel Destination.
But its gives the following error.
[Data Conversion [16]] Error: Data conversion failed while converting column 'A' (53) to column "Copy of A" (95). The conversion returned status value 8 and status text "DBSTATUS_UNAVAILABLE".
[Data Conversion [16]] Error: The "output column "Copy of A" (95)" failed because error code 0xC020908E occurred, and the error row disposition on "output column "Copy of A" (95)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component.
Can someone please tell me what should I do to make it work?
Thanks,
Recently installed Sql Server 2005 client and am now attempting to import data from a spreadsheet into an existing table. This works fine with Sql Server 2000 but I am getting data conversion truncation errors that stop the process when this runs using import utility in Sql Server 2005.
Any help would be appreciated.
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

But in both the importexport utility and from SSIS. "#" become "." (aka pound to period) in column headers. So for example [# of errors] becomes [. of errors]. Now I truly do not ever remember having this issue before but then again I have don't remember having to construct field names with a various assortment of characters that are randomly strewn about as though someone discovered the symbol picker recently and had decided to employ it to make the a spreadsheet a more interesting place. Hence after a good day of time wasted. (as I considered doing an alter table after the sheets were put out.. and then thought better of it.) I seek guidence here. Thanks in advance.
Hi Experts,
I am extracting data from SQL Server 2005 to flat file destination. I am using SQL Command to specify the data selection query. One of my query uses Replicate function to derive a column value. When I execute this package it fails with the error "Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "value" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page".
The reason for the problem is that, it is taking the InputColumnWidth of the flat file destination as 8000 and I specified the OutputColumnWidth as 4.
If I change the OutputColumnWidth to 8000, it is working without any error but resulting in the column width of 8000.
I tried using DerivedColumn Transformation's Type cast and DataConversion Transformation but still I am getting the same error in the respective Transformation components.
Can anyone suggest how to solve this issue.
I have to import data from Excel file to an SQL Server Database.
One of the Excel Worksheet columns it's number (with max value of 4550204008914630000), I will import the column to a char 21 database field. Using a DTS to do the work, when I import that column it will convert the data in something like 4.5502041E+18.
Can you give me some help for the DTS.

In my SSIS project I am populating an Excel spreadsheet with several worksheets. When I define a worksheet in Excel Destination Editor, I use Create Table SQL statement to create a worksheet. Most of the fields are defined as numbers, however when job runs my numeric fields appear as text in Excel with yellow warning sign - 'The number in this cell is formatted as text or preceeded by an apostrophe'. I need my numbers to appear as numbers. Is there a workaround for this?
View 3 Replies View Related 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.

Hello,
I have a problem with retreving a excel data through excel source component.
I have source component as Excel Source which will connect to my .xls sheet.
To retrieve the values from the sheet i am using a query as,
"SELECT F14,F3 FROM [Charac Defn & Assgnment$]"
The column F14 is not formatted so that the format of the cell is "General" I have a different type of values in the F14 column such as "PE","PES",15,20,20.00,8888.9999 etc..
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
Please help me how to solve this issue.
Hello,
I am wondering what conversion rules apply, when a string, which contains a number, is saved to a SQL Server 2005 into a column of type decimal.
This is the code I€™m using (C++):
CString cValue = "0.75"
_variant_t vtFieldValue;
vtFieldValue = _variant_t(cValue)
pRecordSet->Fields->Item["MyColumn"]->Value = vtFieldValue;
"pRecordSet" is an ADO recordset. The database column "MyColumn" is of type "decimal(19,10)".
The most important question for me is, if the regional settings of the database server or the regional settings of the client PC are considered during the conversion from the string to the decimal value. For example in standard French regional settings the "." would not be recognized as decimal separator.
I am also wondering if the language of the database instance, in which this data is saved, is considered during this conversion or any other settings of this database instance.
So my general question is: Does anybody know exactly what rules apply during the above mentioned conversion?
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Volker
Hello
I have an odd problem that is driving me nutz. I have a very simple SSIS package that imports a 5 colum flatfile into a sql Server 2005 Table.
When I created this package with the wizzard, it will execute perfectly fine and processes all rows into the destination table.
But when I hit F5 to execute it manually it will fail before inserting a single row.
The error it generates is (Spalte 5 is a Datetime in the format DD.MM.YYYY) :
Error: 0xC02020A1 at Datenflusstask, Source - Daten_NC_1_txt [1]: Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "Spalte 5" returned status value 2 and status text "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".
Error: 0xC0209029 at Datenflusstask, Source - Daten_NC_1_txt [1]: The "output column "Spalte 5" (25)" failed because error code 0xC0209084 occurred, and the error row disposition on "output column "Spalte 5" (25)" specifies failure on error.

Error: 0xC0202092 at Datenflusstask, Source - Daten_NC_1_txt [1]: An error occurred while processing file "C:WorkDaten_NC_1.txt" on data row 177.

Hi,
I am getting this error when my ssis package is running
Data Conversion failed due to Potential Loss of data
the input column is in string format and output is in sql server bigint
the error is occuring when there is an empty string in the input. what should i do to overcome this
It is an ID field and should i convert to bigint or should i leave it as char datatype is it i a good solution or is there a way to over come this.
Hi,
I have another issue. I have an excel file that I pipe through a "data conversion" task. I have set all the column data types to strings, because there's no way to know beforehand if a particular column will be number or text because the file is very non-standard (it looks more like a formatted report).
After the data conversion, I send all the rows to a script task. In the script task, I do a check on the numeric fields.
for example:
If Not IsNumeric(Row.Price) Then
Row.Price_IsNull = True
End If
However, this check fails each and every time, even if the field contains a number! I don't have this problem when using flat file sources.
So, none of my numeric fields are getting loaded to my ole db destination.
Help, is there a way around this? Or am I forced to just skip this number check altogether? I'd prefer not to.
Thanks

After testing out the application i write on the local pc. I deploy it to the webserver to test it out. I get this error.
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: The conversion of a char data type to a
datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.
Notes: all pages that have this error either has a repeater or datagrid which load data when page loading.
At first I thought the problem is with the date, but then I can see
that some other pages that has datagrid ( that has a date field) work
just fine.
anyone having this problem before?? hopefully you guys can help.

I have a View that multiplies a decimal (8,5) data type * money data type (no cast or convert) and for some odd reason comes up with a bit result (0 or 1). If I take the select statement out of the View, paste it into Query analyzer and execute it I get a decimal result.
It's easy enough to put a cast into the view but I'm wondering what is going on in the view that returns the bit data type.

Hi,
The requirement is, we have to transfer from Flat file to OledBDestination. Flat File example is: 001|001|abc|
In the Database Table, Column A and Column B are Numeric(4,3). Column C is varchar(50).We have to write custom component (programmatically) which puts in the Database as
0.001|0.001|abc
I followed the Programmatic Sample, that comes with installation, ChangeCase which changes the case of the column as it moves to Database. I modified the program to meet my requirement. Program Sample is below. In below, I get the decimal Value (as columnValue), and then Divide by Math.Pow(10.0,3) to get 0.001. And I set it to thebuffer.SetDecimal method. For some reason, the decimal values does not show up in the Database. It truncates and gives 0.000. What Am I doing Wrong? Please help and suggest....
Decimal columnValue = buffer.GetDecimal(colInfo.bufferColumnIndex);
columnValue = (Decimal)(Decimal.ToDouble(columnValue) / Math.Pow(10.0, (3)));
buffer.SetDecimal(colInfo.bufferColumnIndex, columnValue);
All Code here:
public override void ProcessInput(int inputID, PipelineBuffer buffer) {
if (!buffer.EndOfRowset){
IDTSInput90 input = ComponentMetaData.InputCollection.GetObjectByID(inputID);
int errorOutputID = -1;
int errorOutputIndex = -1;
int defaultOutputId = -1;
GetErrorOutputInfo(ref errorOutputID, ref errorOutputIndex);
if (errorOutputIndex == 0)
defaultOutputId = ComponentMetaData.OutputCollection[1].ID;
else defaultOutputId = ComponentMetaData.OutputCollection[0].ID;
while (buffer.NextRow()){
if (columnInfos.Length == 0)
buffer.DirectRow(defaultOutputId);
bool isError = false;
/// Iterate the columns in the columnInfos array.
for (int x = 0; x < columnInfos.Length; x++){
ColumnInfo colInfo = columnInfos[x];
/// Is the column null?
if (!buffer.IsNull(colInfo.bufferColumnIndex)){
if (colInfo.dataType == DataType.DT_NUMERIC){
Decimal columnValue = buffer.GetDecimal(colInfo.bufferColumnIndex);
columnValue = (Decimal)(Decimal.ToDouble(columnValue) / Math.Pow(10.0, (3)));
buffer.SetDecimal(colInfo.bufferColumnIndex, columnValue);
if (!isError)
buffer.DirectRow(defaultOutputId);
}
Hi,
I have a flat file with over 300 fields and need to do a data conversion before SQL final destination, most fields are DT_STRING, is there an easier way of converting the data without having to manualy do the 300 fields.
I have all the data types i want STR converting to in a file.
Any info would be great,
Cheers,
Slash.
I have single letters in a Flat file and it is in the string format,but now i want to convert it in to int format.I have tried doing this by SSIS but it is not working.
I used data conversion and copy column transformation.
I got a error message.
it automatically correct the meta data mismatch. But when i run the package, it gives the following error message.
Error: 0xC0209029 at Data Flow Task, Data Conversion [75]: The "output column "ReceiptType" (112)" failed because error code 0xC020907F occurred, and the error row disposition on "output column "ReceiptType" (112)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component.
This is just one error message.
Please can you tell me the steps to do this correctly.
Also I need to know how to run a SSIS package through command line?
Thanks
