I have excel files where the column headers I care about are on line 5, and the actual data doesn't begin until line 6. Other than deleting the first 4 lines, which is impractical, how can I get the Excel Connection Manager to import the data correctly? I was able to do this under DTS, so I have to imagine it's possible.
Thanks!
Hi all,
Any idea about how to configure/read multiple worksheets from a spreadsheet using single connection manager?
I think using SQL Command we could able to do - not sure how to achieve that. Let me know the other alternatives too.
Thank you for any help

I have deployed my packages into Sql Server and I am using Configuration File. As my Data Source is Excel, I have changed the connection string during deployment with Server Path. But I am getting the following errors. Actually the File Exist in Path. May I know What is cause of the issue? Do I need to give any permission to execute the package.

Hi,
I am working on SQL Server 2005 (x64) with Windows Server 2003 (x64) operating system. I am having a major issue in SSIS. Here is the detailed explanation of the issue :
I have an EXCEL file in 2003 / 2007 version. It contains some data. I want to import the data using SSIS into SQL Server 2005 (x64) database table. I have taken "EXCEL FILE SOURCE" and "SQL Server DESTINATION". It was failed on importing data. Surprisingly it works fine in SQL Server 2005 (x32). Can you please explain why it is NOT woking on (x64) ?
Here is the error code i am getting:

Appreciate your time and patience !!
Thanks
Hello,
I am trying to do the following:
I have been given an MS Access Database that has a table with columns
I have to create a spreadsheet that will have the data stored in the column header as a row (essentially we are creating a spreadsheet that records all of the different columns in all of the different tables in the MS Access DB).
Any suggestions???
I am looking for SQL query which uses 2 tables CASH and BALANCE.
eg: Need Tablename, ColumsList and data in the results set.
eg: 10 rows shown below and ordered based on Acct_number

I have a single table that consist of 4 columns. Entity, ParamName, ParamsValue and ParamiValue. This table stores normalized Late Fee related parameters for apartments. The Entity field contains a code that identifies the apartment complex. The ParamName in a textual field that contains the name of the parameter that the other 2 fields define the value for; ParamsValue and ParamiValue. If the Late Fee parameter (as named in ParamName is something numerical then the value for that parameter can be found in ParamiValue else its in ParamsValue.
I don't know if 'Pivot' is the correct term to use for describing what I am trying to do because I've looked at the Pivot examples and I don't see how that will work for this. Using the Table and data as provided below, how would I construct a query so that I get 1 row per Entity in which the columns are the ParamsValue or ParamiValue for the ParamName listed in the column header (for the query)?
Below is the DDL to create the table and populate it.
USE [DBA_UTIL]
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[PARAMEXAMPLE](
[Entity] [varchar](16) NULL,
[Code]....
we are running 2014 enterprise. A couple of column headings (even with smaller font) are a little tall, as much as 6 "lines".   All headings in the respective matrices are aligned vertically as "bottom". When I save the report to excel, these taller headings get chopped off visually in their excel cell.  The cell contains the entire heading. It appears that the second "line" of the heading is the one that is most visible in excel.Â
How do I get these to be saved so user will see entire heading when opening excel doc? In the first matrix there is a text box directly above the matrix and only one row of column headings. In the second there is a higher column group heading containing month name above the problem headings.Â
Hello,
I have a question regarding which expressions need to be set to have the excel connection manager be able to create/update a file dynamically. I'm reading a path in from a database and storing it in a variable. The path is just the location of an excel file. What I would like to have happen is that the excel connection manager be dynamic so that if I wanted to change where this file went or the name I could simply change the value in the database.
I've tried setting the expressions, in the Excel connection Manager: ConnectionString,ExcelFilePath, and Servername to the variable \pathfolderfile.xls with no luck. The ConnectionString seems to be a little funny because it contains Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data source = ; Extended Properties =; HDR=YES", so I don't know if I can just use that expression and ignore the others or what.
Any help would appreciated,
Phil

DTExec: The package execution returned DTSER_FAILURE (1).
So from the message I'm assuming that somewhere in the package configuration its missing the path to be able to find the Excel spreadsheet in question. But when opening up the package configuration I can't see anything immediately wrong. For the path of the spreadsheet location I've used the full UNC path instead of any mapped drive locations I've being guilty of using in the past. Below is the Excel Connection Manager section of my configuration file:
<Configuration ConfiguredType="Property" Path="Package.Connections[Excel Connection Manager].Properties[ConnectionString]" ValueType="String">

I've checked the rest of the configuration file and wherever something needs a username and password, they are entered correctly. I've also made sure that the account I'm logged onto our server and running the package under can access the excel file in question with no issues.
What is abit strange is that I have another package that runs in a similar way and also uses an Excel Connection Manager but from a different folder in the same area and that runs fine. I've tried to compare the 2 sets of connection managers to see if I can spot the difference but I've been unable to so far. Al that I can see that is different is the folder winningproject somtimes being in lowercase and then sometimes having capitals, but that doesn't seem to make any difference.
I'm hoping a fresh pair of eyes will be able to spot something obvious that I've missed!! Below is the Excel Connection Manager section of the configuration file I have that works fine.:

I am following the samples in the online books. I've got an OLEDB connection manager and source component defined. I now want to create an Excel connection manager and destination component (see below). How can I do this?
Dim conMgr As ConnectionManager = package.Connections.Add("OLEDB")
conMgr.ConnectionString = "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;" "Data Source=FLL-EIS;Initial Catalog=DataLoad;" & _
"Integrated Security=SSPI;"
conMgr.Name = "SSIS Connection Manager for OLE DB"
conMgr.Description = "OLE DB connection to FLL-EIS."
' Create and configure an OLE DB source component.
Dim source As IDTSComponentMetaData90 = dataFlowTask.ComponentMetaDataCollection.New
source.ComponentClassID = "DTSAdapter.OleDbSource"
' Create the design-time instance of the source.
Dim srcDesignTime As CManagedComponentWrapper = source.Instantiate
srcDesignTime.ProvideComponentProperties()
' Assign the connection manager.
source.RuntimeConnectionCollection(0).ConnectionManager = _
DtsConvert.ToConnectionManager90(conMgr)
' Set the custom properties of the source.
srcDesignTime.SetComponentProperty("AccessMode", 2)
srcDesignTime.SetComponentProperty("SqlCommand", Dts.Variables("User::gsQuery").Value.ToString)
' Connect to the data source,
' and then update the metadata for the source.
srcDesignTime.AcquireConnections(Nothing)
srcDesignTime.ReinitializeMetaData()
srcDesignTime.ReleaseConnections()
' Create and configure an OLE DB destination. (This is where I need help, as this code does not work)
Dim destination As IDTSComponentMetaData90 = dataFlowTask.ComponentMetaDataCollection.New
destination.ComponentClassID = "DTSAdapter.ExcelDestination"
' Create the design-time instance of the destination.
Dim destDesignTime As CManagedComponentWrapper = destination.Instantiate
' Where can I find documentation about the various ComponentClassIds and Properties???
destDesignTime.ProvideComponentProperties()
destDesignTime.SetComponentProperty("ExcelFilePath", Dts.Variables("User::gsExcelFile").Value.ToString)
destDesignTime.SetComponentProperty("TableName", Dts.Variables("User::gsSheetName").Value.ToString)
I have a package that uses a for loop to iterate through an unknown amount of excel files and pull their data into a table. However, there will be cases when the file is corrupted or has some sort of problem so that either the transformation will fail or the excel source will fail.
I have it so that for each iteration if the transform was successful the file is moved to an archive directory, and if it fails the file is moved to a different directory.
But I don't want the package to be marked as failed. For the control flow tasks I have set the individual components to FailPackageonFailure = False, and for the Data Flow tasks I have set ValidateExternalMetadata = False.
It no use to set the MaxErrorCount higher because I can't guarantee how many files will be processed and how many might fail.
Could anyone suggest a clean way to trap these errors? Specifically, the "Cannot Aquire Connection from Connection Manager", which is the excel connection.
Thanks
Hi There
I am having some issues with dts packages i have migrated using the package migration wizard.
One of the connection managers points to an execl flat file source.
I have not altered anything after the package migration, the conenction manager is using Native OLE DBMicrosoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider.
When i test the connection i get the following error :
"Test connection failed becuase of an error in initializing provider. Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by anotehr user."
Ok i am 99% sure this file is not being accessed by another user, the rest of the error is greek to me. Looking on the net for this error it has to do with access database security and having to sertup htm pages for IIS, i cannot findanything on this error relating to ssis connection manager.
PLEASE HELP.
Thanx
Hi,
I'm trying to write a package that imports a bunch of Excel files into a sql server table. My import routine works fine when I do not use a foreach loop container. I then add a Foreach Loop Container with a Foreach File Enumerator and create a variable to store all of the excel file names to use with my excel connection manager in the connection string property.
When I run the debugger I get the following error:
TITLE: Package Validation Error

I've read the varous posts on this forum and others with people having this problem and nothing that was recommended to them works for me. I've also read the Msdn article 'How to:Loop through Excel files and Tables' and followed the directions there without success. I've tried the following with no success:
I've tried to create first a hard coded connection string in the excel conn. manager which works but as soon as I set the experessions: connection string property = my file enumerator variable it breaks.
Turned the Delay Validation to True for the package as well as the task
Set the Connection string equal to not just the variable coming from the file enumerator but to the full connection string : "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + @[User::excel_filename] + ";Extended Properties="Excel 8.0;HDR=YES";"
I've also tried to set the excel filepath property instead of the connection string and this didn't work either.
I'm getting really frustrated. Any advice on why something so simple doesn't work for me would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
RE. SSIS (v9.00.1399.00) --- FeedFile Excel Connection Manager --- Concurrency Issue
1. I have 15 completely separate SSIS Packages all of which use the FeedFile Excel Connection Manager to read data from completely separate Excel worksheets.
2. When I invoke, say, 5 of these Packages at the same time then one or more (at random) of them fail with the following error message:-
The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "FeedFile Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009.
3. When I invoke the failed Packages again then they succeed.
So, do you know if there is:-
(a) a concurrency issue with the "FeedFile Excel Connection Manager" ?
(b) a read-only option (in the SSIS Package code) which needs to be specified to overcome file contention issues?
Additional Information about the FeedFile Excel Connection Manager:-
Connection String=Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:DoesNotNeedToExist.xls;Extended Properties="EXCEL 8.0;HDR=NO";
DelayValidation=True
ExcelFilePath= C:DoesNotNeedToExist
RetainSameConnection=False
Note1. The actual Excel filename which is read is generated dynamically at run-time by a Script Task. This is why DelayValidation has been set to: True (Note. The file: "C:DoesNotNeedToExist" does not actually physically exist.)
Note2. We have another SSIS Package which uses the FeedFile FlatFile Connection Manager. When we run this same Package concurrently (i.e. invoke it 5 times, at the same time, with different input files) then all 5 invocations succeed, which is what we would expect.
Thanks.
I have a task that uses an Excel connection manager to read in an Excel file. In the file there are 6 date columns. The date columns can have either a date or the letters NA. If I look at the External Column properties from the advanced tab, 4 of the date columns have a datatype of DT_DATE. The other 2 date columns have a datatype of DT_WSTR. The 4 columns with DT_DATE, my data looks okay as when it is read by the connection manager. The issue is that the 2 columns that are DT_WSTR, all dates are turned into NULLS, while the NA's are just fine. I have tried to change the datatypes in the advanced tab to DT_DATE, but it won't work.
I don't have any idea what to do to get this working correctly. Can anyone PLEASE provide some insight and suggestions or a solution?
I do not know the Excel file name to load in design time.
Would like to pass the value to a variable in the package in run time?
How to do this?
Thanks,
Guangming
How can I use a foreach loop container with an Excel connection manager. It is virtually impossible to configure the ConectionString property through expressions builder. Everything works fine with a Flat File connection manager but when it comes to Excel, I get the following error message: Error 1 Validation error. Extract Four: Extract Four [1]: The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009. Tarification.dtsx 0 0
Please ! Heeeelp ! tel me how I can loop through Excel files !
I've put together a SSIS package that, once a user uploads an Excel spreadsheet from a webpage, grabs it, does a mess of calculations and spits it out into a datareader (this last part is tricky, but I haven't even gotten to this point yet). In BIDS, the package works fine. Run using the 32-bit version of dtexec, it runs fine. But when I try to call it from the page, I keep getting an error. The errors look familiar enough that I'm thinking it's due to the package trying to run 64-bit, and that not playing nicely with Excel. If that's true, is there an easy way to force the 32-but version to be used? I've already set the project properties to Run64BitRuntime = false, which I'd hoped would help. but no luck.
Here's the code I'm using:
Code Snippet
string pkg = @"pathpackage.dtsx";
Application app = new Application();
Package p = app.LoadPackage(p, null);
Variable varFileName = p.Variables["strExcelFileName"];
varFileName.Vaue = strFileName;
Variable varFilePath = p.Variables["strExcelFilePath"];
varFilePath.Value = strFilePath;
DTSExecResult dte = p.Execute();
Error handling
p.Dispose();
And it kicks out the following:

Purpose: Need to import excel source data into SQL Server 2005 tables. Excel source data comes in nulitple excel files with the same structure but different data. I would appreciate someone taking a look at the following information and notifying me of what I am doing incorrectly.
I Inserted a foreach loop container, a data flow task located inside the foreach loop contaiiner, an excel and SQL Server 2005 connections.
After trying multiple times I went the following URL and followed step by step direction on how to connect excel workbooks dynamically: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345182.aspx . I also used http://www.sqlstrings.com/ as a reference when creating the connection string.
Creating a Foreach Loop Container:
1. Opened foreach loop container 2.Set the Enumerator to 'Foreach File Enumerator" and configured the enumerator by setting the directory location and file base name to E:ClientsDep CommBEABEA_Test_Source and *PersonnelExpense*.xls respectively. 3. Clicked Variable Mapping; created two variables called, "ExcelFile", and "ExtProperties" and closed out of the foreach loop container.
I. Created Excel Connection:
Created excel connection called, €œDynamic Excel Connection Manager,€? that initially pointed to one of the excel workbooks.
Went to the connection properties by right clicking the connection manager.
Expanded Expressions and clicked the ellipsis button to bring up property expressions
Chose Connection String in the Property.
Clicked the Expression Ellipsis button.
Put the following inside the Expression multi line text box:
A. "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + @[User::ExcelFile] + ";Extended Properties="" + @[User::ExtProperties] + """
Clicked the Evaluate Expression button to get the following:
Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=;Extended Properties=""
Clicked Ok button
Inserted a Data flow task inside the foreach loop container.
II. Configured Tasks that is associated with Dynamic Excel Connection Manager or Package:
Set the Foreach loop container Delay Validation to true.
Set the Data Flow Task Container Delay Validation to true.
Set the Dynamic Excel Connection Manager Delay Validation to true.
Set the SQL Server Connection Manager Delay Validation to true.
Set the Package Delay Validation to true.
Package Locale ID set to English
Ran the package after connecting the excel source data flow to the OLEDB destination and have inserted part of the error in this post. Please see below.
Error: 0xC0202009 at Package, Connection manager "Dynamic Excel Connection Manager": An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.

I modified the connection string after receiving the error by removing the extended properties. The following is the modified connection string: "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + @[User::ExcelFile]
I repeated step I.6 above and received the following expression: Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=
I ran the package and received the following error in part: OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft JET Database Engine" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Unrecognized database format 'E:ClientsDep CommBEABEA_Test_SourcePersonnelExpense_OCCs_051007.xls'."
I did not find anything helpful when I searched for the above errors and would very much appreciate anyone€™s assistance on this issue as this issue needs to be taken care of ASAP.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why I received this error and what can I do to resolve this issue?
Your assistance in this matter is truly appreicated!
Thanks!!

Hi,
I have a data flow task within a foreach file loop. My problem occurs when I tried to make up an expression for the connection string of the Excel connection manager. Somehow I can see only system variables and none of the variables which I set up within the scope of the foreach file loop.
Can anyone provide me any insight into this mystery? As far as I can see, all the variables I created in the foreach file loop are still showing on the variable windows (without the Show All Variable button clicked).
Thank you very much and hope to hear from someone soon!
Regards,

I need to process a 2012 Excel file. In SSIS Connection Manager, I am only given an option until Excel 2007 version. When I use this in my connection for Excel Source, I am prompted with this error when I attempt to select the name of the sheet:
"Could not retrieve the table information for the connection manager 'Excel Connection Manager'.
Failed to connect to the source using the connection manager 'Excel Connection Manager'"
Also my Run64BitRuntime is set to false.
I am in the process of importing an Excel Spreadsheet using the natively connection manager in SSIS 2008. Â There is one column however that is causing me grief.
SSIS has natively chosen the problematic column to be a DT_WSTR(255). Â I have gone into the Excel connection manager's Advanced Editor and altered it to be a DT_WSTR(1000) (see image 1 attached).
I am still getting truncation issues though, as per image 2 attached. Â why this is?
I have a SSIS package that reads the data from an Excel file using an Excel Connection Manager and imports the data to a table on a SQL Server 2005 DB instance.
When I run this package locally on the server the package being on the file system, the package executes perfectly. Now I upload the package to the msdb database and the run the package from there and the package still executes successfully.
Now I schedule the package to run as a SQL Server Agent job and the package fails and when the logging is enabled I see this in the log file;
OnError,WEB-INTSQL,NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM,Copy to CRN-ALLOCATION_COMMENTS_TEMP,{40A6BF6E-7121-448B-A49D-DED58FDC746A},{BD991566-F4BD-41BC-AEBF-264032D8D0D3},5/9/2006 1:54:52 PM,5/9/2006 1:54:52 PM,-1071611876,0x,The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009.

I am wondering why the AcquireConnection method call is failing when the package is scheduled? I am running the step as a SQL Agent Service Account and it is the Local System account that starts up the SQL Server Agent and Server and is an Administrator on the box.
Any inputs will be much appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi all!
My problem I've been struggling with is the following. I have a set of text files (around 70), each with different column numbers and types. I define Flat File Connection Managers for each of them where I can nicely rename, set data types and omit certain columns. I do this once and this will be the basis for the rest of the data process (would be nice programmatically too actually).
I would like to pump each of these text files into SQL Server tables using CREATE TABLE and BULK INSERT (because do it one-by-one is really a pain). The question is:
is there a way to obtain column information (Script Task) from a Connection Manager so I can run CREATE TABLE-s? I just need the names, data type for each nothing fancy...
(I bumped into interfaces like IDTSConnectionManagerFlatFileColumns90, which I cannot handle from the Script Task.)
Any help appreciated!

i want to split the value of one column into multiple rows. based on comp capacity. pl help me in writing query

I am creating a report in SSRS which has the following criteria:
- Row 1 (parent) is 'Product'
- Row 2 (child) is  'Feed'
- Columns are date. Â I have 5 dates showing at any one time across the top. Â The date field is set up as a parameter so depending on the date the user selects, the report will show that date on the end column and then the 4 days prior to that in the other columns. Â Â
 - Data is the number of records.
I have a sub total on the Product and the report is collapsed on Product as default.
What i'm stuck on is trying to insert a column at the very end that will show the variance between the last two dates. Â So the difference between the date the user selected (@date parameter) and the day before that.Â
