SQL 2012 :: OPENROWSET To Read In Data From Excel 2010 File (XLSX)
Jun 12, 2015I have a test server (TEST1) running SQL 2012 and Windows 2012R2. One of the developers wants to use OPENROWSET to read in data from an Excel 2010 file (an xlsx file).
I have loaded the Microsoft Drivers in "AccessDatabaseEngine_64.exe" and enabled the Ad Hoc Distributed Queries option in SQL.
This is the sample code we are working with:
SELECT
X.MEMBID
FROM OPENROWSET(
'MSDASQL',
'Driver={Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls, *.xlsx, *.xlsm, *.xlsb)};DBQ=etworkserverFolder1Folder2MEMBIDs.xlsx',
'SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]'
) AS X
I can run the sample query from my laptop with SSMS (I have admin rights) and I can also run it as SA from my laptop. So all is good, right?
But if I RDC into TEST1, I cannot run the query. I get this error:
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "(null)" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver] Your network access was interrupted. To continue, close the database, and then open it again.".
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "(null)" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver]General error Unable to open registry key Temporary (volatile) Ace DSN for process 0x574 Thread 0xb74 DBC 0x1d07f08 Excel'.".
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "(null)" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver]General error Unable to open registry key Temporary (volatile) Ace DSN for process 0x574 Thread 0xb74 DBC 0x1d07f08 Excel'.".
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "(null)".But wait! It gets better.
I can run the query as SA from TEST1.
And of course, the developer can't run it either.
And it works fine in the production server.
I'm thinking the basics are there but something isn't right in some permission somewhere.

OPENROWSET To Excel
Jan 14, 2007Hi Anyone I am new member and happy to be here.
I am having trouble exporting the correct data from sql server to an excel spreadsheet using 'OPENROWSET'
The problem is that although the data from my sql table is say :
'a',1,2,3 , the excel spreadsheet sees the data as :
'a','1,'2,'3 ..1,2,3 are of course numbers NOT text, its just that the driver has put a single appostraphy before the number !
I know there is a bug with the ISAM driver but has anyone managed to solve this or has anyone have any alternatives ?
best regards

Openrowset And Excel
Apr 17, 2007I'm doing an openrowset query on an excel sheet. (Using SQL Server 2005) Everything works great, except that I have one column that has both numeric and text data in the spreadsheet. The query returns that column as datatype varchar but puts nulls in the rows that have numeric data in the spreadsheet.
Any suggestions?
I run:
select *
from openrowset('microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0',
'Excel 8.0;database=[filepathandname],
'select * from [Sheet1$A4:G5000]')
on spreadsheet data that looks like:
Model_id Model_name
. . .
123 t4556
124 x225
125 455
. . .
and get something like . . . .
Model_id Model_name
. . .
123 t4556
124 x225
125 NULL
. . .

OPENROWSET ( CAN WE CREATE FILE WITHOUT EXCEL TEMPLATE??)
Mar 20, 2008insert into OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Excel 8.0;Database=D: esting.xls;', 'SELECT * FROM [SheetName$]') select * from pubs.dbo.authors
I am using similiar query to above to create a excel file, however for this to work, I need to create a template file which has the same columns as the authors table. Is there a way to NOT to define template columns , as I some times will not know which columns will be available... as teh query is dynamic....
T-SQL (SS2K8) :: OPENROWSET When Excel Worksheet Name Is Unknown
Sep 7, 2011I've created a stored procedure that accepts two arguments: the name of an Excel workbook (@workbookBillRun), and the name of the first worksheet found in that workbook (@worksheetBillRun).
Through dynamic SQL, I'm able to construct a statement that pulls out data.
SELECT @sqlBillRun = '
SELECT [ACCTNUM], [INVNUM], [RECURRING], [NON RECURRING], [USAGE],[DISCOUNT],[TAXES]
FROM OPENROWSET (''Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0'', ''Excel 12.0;;Database=' +@workbookBillRun+ ';HDR=YES'',
''SELECT * from [' +@worksheetBillRun+ '$]'')'
The workbook name will always be known: when the user uploads the file, I change the name to match a certain pattern. Example: 2011-08 AUG.xlsx
However, I won't always know the worksheet name. The workbook *should* contain just one worksheet; and the worksheet *should* be named identically to the workbook (2011-08 AUG), but it may not be named as such. And if I pass an invalid worksheet name, the code above will fail.
I've created error handling to alert the user of an incorrectly named sheet. However, I was curious whether I could extract the name of the first worksheet in the workbook from within T-SQL.

Import Excel-File (OPENROWSET) On X64 SQL Server
Jan 7, 2008Hi, recently I encountered the following problem:
I tried to execute a stored procedure on the newly installed SQL 2005 Server (now on x64 Win Server 2003) which imports an Excel-File into a DB table.
We use OPENROWSET to access the Excel data. But I recognized this is dependent on Jet OLE DB which seems is not available for x64 windows.
Is there another way to import excel data using a stored procedure.
thank you in advance, rene
Passing A Variable To A Linked Query (OPENROWSET For Excel Syntax)
May 11, 2007 Hello,
I responded to a very old discussion thread & afraid I buried it too deep.
I have studied the article: How to Pass a Variable to a Linked Query (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;q314520)
but I have not gotten all the ''''' + @variable syntax right.
Here is my raw openrowset with what I am aiming at.
Code Snippet
-- I want to use some kind of variable, like this to use in the file:
DECLARE @FIL VARCHAR(65)
SET @FIL = 'C:company foldersDocumentationINVENTORY.xls;'
--
SELECT FROM OPENROWSET('MSDASQL', 'Driver=Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls);DBQ=C:company foldersDocumentationINVENTORY.xls;', 'SELECT * FROM [Inventory$]')
AS DT
Anyone game? Many thank-yous, in advance.
Kind Regards,

Any Idea Why OpenRowSet To Open Excel File Doesn't Work Well In SQL 2005?

eibcactive.xls',
'select * from [crap2$]')
I got error

Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0" for linked server "(null)".
but the same query can run without any problem on a SQL 2000 server run on a server in the same network.
Any idea?
Recurring Issue - OPENROWSET For Excel Query Stops Working , Cured By Restart Of SQL Server
May 25, 2007Hi,
I am having a recurring issue that involves a stored proc using OPENROWSET to query an excel file. I used the surface area config to enable this on the server, and made sure that is still set. After an undetermined amount of time, the OPENROWSET query starts failing with this message:
OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)" returned message "Unspecified error".
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)".
I corrected this previously by restarting the SQL server, but not before I checked permissions, the excel file itself, etc, and that was the last thing to try.
I am using SQL 2005 with SP1 installed - my primary approach to tackling this issue is to install the SP2, but I did not find this bug referenced in the fixes, and was wondering if anyone else had further insight.
Thanks,

Delete Rows In Excel From DTS Package
Jul 23, 2005I have a DTS package that needs to refresh data in 3 separate Excelspreadsheets on a daily basis. The problem is that unless I manuallydelete the previous day's data, it appends rather than replaces.I can't delete the excel files on a daily basis, as they have to bethere for the DTS package to be able to export to Excel. What I wantto do is create a VBScript (ActiveX Control) to delete all the rows ofdata except the first row within each spreadsheet as the first step ofthe DTS package. Then the remaining steps would run and thespreadsheets would only have the current day's data at the end of theprocess.Thanks for any help offered.
