I guess nobodys heard of this? I'm using DTS to transform data to Excel spreadsheet. I have a DROP TABLE `data$` then a CREATE TABLE `data$` the old data is cleared but the new data is appended to the blank rows of the old data. So if I had 5 rows before now I have 10. And the new data has 5 blank rows before it.
I've tried deleting the excel file & replacing it with a new one.
I've used the wizard thinking it was me but no good, it still happens.
HELP!
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 have ssis package where I have excel connection manager with expression pointing to a variable which has path for location and name of excel spreadsheet to be create each with date on the name.ExcelFilePath points to variable for shared location where excel file will be saved.I have File system task for copying template excel file to destination location with date in file name.I drag and drop excel destination. Pointed to excel connection manager. Under data access mode, I have select table and view. When I try to select name of excel sheet, it says, no tables or views could be loaded. I should be able to see sheetname there so that I can map column. I only have option to create new spreadsheet. I want to use template to load data in excel file. I dont want to create new sheet. It was working before. But I opened the ssis package and its broken. I was able to see spreadsheet name before but I dont see it now even though I have not made any change to package.

I want export this this table to excel sheet.
please help me any one
Hi,
I have an excel spreadsheet with several sheets.
These sheets get populated with data from an external source database i.e. a third party application.
I would like to create a SSIS package to read the data in each sheet.
Please note that I do know how to create SSIS package to read an excel file with only one sheet.
Is there a functionality in SSIS to loop though each sheet in one excel file?
Thanks
My company has recently transitioned to a centralized Oracle database model.
For the sake of security, the "powers that be" have also denied any query ability to any central tables. They refuse to create views or any other open tables for people to query.
Instead, they provide a "tool" which people can use to download data - to Excel Spreadsheets.
In the past, before this "improvement" lots of users in the local plants were able to query the old system to bring data into spreadsheets for reports, analysis, etc.
Now the place is jammed to the hilt with linked spreadsheets - people do their "table joins" with linked cells and Excel VLookups (yuk). This is because the "powers that be" still demand that these reports, analysis, etc. be done.
I am trying to use SQL-DMO to create a table join between one of these Excel Data pulls and a MS SQL Server table in Excel so that I can join without VLookup. IS SQL-DMO the right way to go?
Has anyone done this? I think I am close, but I don't know how to use the SQL-DMO attached Excel table object I've created in a join. I can't see the object in MS Query. I am not adverse to doing the whole thing in VBA...
Here is another question. Most of these Data pulls using the "tool" (ball and chain, boat anchor) are done once a day or once a week. Would a better strategy be to create MS SQL server Tables that are dropped and re-written when the data is pulled into Excel? This would mean that the report worksheet does not have to import the Excel Data pull sheet to MS SQL when it updates its query.
Hi,
I've a problem with excel destination spread sheet.I've created a package which pulls the data from sql server and load it into excel sheet.The main thing Ive to do is I've to create different destination tables(work sheets) for different data.i.e.,The source is a sql query which pulls the data in groupwise with group by clause.So,I've to create individual work sheet for each group with that data.How it can be done.Please, advice me.
Thanks in advance.

I have a main report with some sub reports. I put the sub reports in a rectangle and selected insert page break before on the rectangles.
If I run the main report and then select export to excel the sub reports are called Sheet1, sheet2, sheet3
How can I change those sheet names ?
I tried setting the bookmark, label and tooltip but no luck.
If I only export 1 report, the name of the sheet is the name if the report.
So how can I fix this ?

View 4 Replies View RelatedHi,
I'm just starting with SSIS and want to create a reusable package which imports from an excel file which can be specified at runtime. I can expose the filename of the excel file as part of the connectionString property but the sheet is the openrowset property which is a custom property and therefore isn't exposed as part of the external configuration. Does this make sense? Is there an easy way to specify the sheet to import at run time?
Regards,
Anthony.

Hi ,
I am executing my query and writing it to an excel sheet by choosing "query" results to an excel sheet. It does not format them well. I have trimmed my fields too. There are about 10 fields in the database and I need to show them in the excel file all the ten fields adjacent to one another. Is there anyway I can format them other than the programming aspect.
Thanks

I insert/update thousands of line items daily to my MS SQL 2k db each day from multiple excel sheets that are uploaded. In Microsoft's infinite wisdom Excel and MS SQL is not "Fully" compatible and some characters throw off the uploads, cause errors in loading, etc. Each Excel sheet has from a few rows up to 50,000 rows or more. We load around 100 of these Excel sheets each day depending on what our users upload.
Our main problem appears to be with "Special Characters", anything that is not a number or letter seems to be an issue in loads. We have written our scripts to ignore a certain set of characters such as #,!, -, ', ", [, ], {, }, +, =, *, %, ~, `, <,>, etc. But we still get errors. This has become a frustrating nightmare. Any help in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
I have tried ASP scripts, VB created exe's, converting the Excel sheet to a text file, then uploading, and other various means to get this process error free. Some files never have issues loading, some excel files will error out and not at the same point each time. We can run the same file 5 times in a row and it will stop/error at a different point each time without any rhyme or reason.
Now we are not just doing an "Insert", there are several variables that are at work when loading the data, like combining exact items into one row, associating data with ID's in another table, etc. It is not just a simple, take this data and place it here scenerio which makes this a serious headache to figure out how to make this error free and troubleshoot.
Is there some information or a direction I should look to consider a solid solution to importing data from Excel sheets to a MS SQL 2k db? These files are loaded into a specific folder and on upload they are also recorded in a table marked ready for update in the db. Our scheduler runs the exe associated with that users ID and loads their data, overwriting their previous data load, then marks the file as done.
Is there a proven method, some external program that can be used to make this a solid process, or any direction you can provide for me to research?

I would like to transfer these results to an excel sheet. For instance when the user opens up the excel worksheet and types in for a example a start date: 01-01-2007 and an end date: 03-05-2007 (into textboxes) then clicks a button say called 'Get stats' and then the results appear on the sheet.
How can this be done?

Has anyone been able to create a DTS that will create a new sheet within an existing Excel file. I want one Excel file with multiple tabs referencing the beginning of each week and growing. The name needs to be dynamic so as to not overwrite previous sheets (tabs) in the file.
I have a current ActiveX script that will move the data to a dynamic name (date), I just can't create the table (sheet/tab) to move the data to.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Everyone,
I am using a DTS package where one of the inputs is an Excel Sheet. Actually this sheet is updated manually whenever required i.e once a week or sometimes once a month, but the DTS package runs everyday.
Whenever new rows are added or deleted manually in the excel sheet, empty rows are showed in the sheet after the last row of data. This hinders the DTS package, because the destination table to which the data in the Excel sheet is sent has Primary keys in it.
Can anyone suggest me how to avoid getting the empty spaces in the excel sheet.
Thanks in advance.
