I have a revenue spreadsheet that I populate with data using SSIS. It has 18 named ranges, but only 12 will show up in the Excel Destination Editor. Is there a work-around to be able to get past the 12 displayed limitation? thanks.
View 5 RepliesI 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.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a package which has an Excel source with the 'Data access mode' set to SQL command and then a sql select statement. When I try and hit the 'Preview...' button below the 'SQL command text' window I get the following error:
"Error at Standard Data Flow Tasks [source tasks name]: No column information was returned by the SQL command"
Ordinarily this would be down to the fact that my SQL is shocking, I hit the 'Preview...' button whilst the workbook the source is pointing at was open and it works fine??
I can't figure this out, but needless to say the package errors with a NEEDSNEWMETADATA when I try and run it.
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 need to take 5 or 6 select statements to excel. Here are my limitations...
- each of the queries (thankfully) have the same data format
- each of the queries could return more than 65k, so a new worksheet needs to be generated dynamically.
- the names of the excel worksheets need to be custom, but a naming scheme would have to be developed for queries that ran over into multiple worksheets.
What's the smartest way to do this?
I'm having a hard time getting my head around this. I would love any help... I know I'm not breaking any new ground here. I've found pieces of what I'm doing on lots of forums, but never the exact thing. The complexities compound quickly when dealing with dynamic excel worksheets. =)
Hi All
I have seen several posts on this issue but as yet no answer. So i'm hoping that somewhere out there knows what the issue is.
SSIS package queries database creates MS spreadsheets per customer and then emails each customer their list.
Anyway all works fine apart from the fact that the Excel Destination Editor converts the date from uk to us format. My routine is already using an MS Excel template (correctly formatted) which it copies as part of the package.
Any ideas anyone?

I have a data flow that consists of
OLE DB source which calls a stored proc that returns a result set
data conversion
Excel destination
I am in design mode in Business Intelligence studio. My excel destination (with an Excel Connection) shows no sheet name though I have an execute SQL task before the data flow to create the excel table called SHEET1. Needless to say, there are no output columns visible to do any mappings. I did go to the ExcelConnection to set the OpenRowset Property to SHEET1 but it seems to have no effect.
I can do the export in SQL Server Management studio and that works fine, but it is basic and does not meet my requirements. I have to customize the package to allow dynamic Excel filenames based on account names and have to split my result set into multiple excel sheets because excel 2003 has a max of 65536 rows per sheet. Also when I use the export wizard, I have the source as a table and eventually the source has to be a stored proc with input parms.
What am I missing or doing wrong? Thanks in advance
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
Instead of blindly inserting all my data from a previous task into a table using "Table" as the Data Access Mode in the OLEDB Destination editor. I would like to join this output with a reference table and insert only qualifying rows. Question is "how do I access the data from previous task so that I can do a meaningful equijoin" ? I know I have to use the "SQL Command" data access mode, but what next ?
Thanks.

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.

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
i have an SSIS package that exports to an excel file. This works fine. the problem is that it appends the data instead of overwriting the file. Is there any way to overwrite the file like you can with a flat file? I have to email the file everyweek and don't want to have to clear it out manually. Any help would be appreciated
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy 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.
I am able to export to excel through a stored procedure.But when iopen it the datetime column and int columns are not getting recognised.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,
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 ?

Does SQL 2005 Express have standard functionality on board to export data as an excel sheet? or as XML in a specified format?
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.
i using the select command
select * from [excel sheet name$];
i also using open file dialoug to specify the excel book this book should be pass to the select command at run time

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 cant seem to reference columns within a linked Excel server
using MS SQL express
Code:
UPDATE dbo.Items
SET CCC=XL_SERVER.CCC
FROM XL_SERVER...sheet1$
WHERE BBB LIKE '7%'
i.e I want to update column CCC in my Items table from an Excel table column CCC where column BBB begins with 7
I have set up XL_SERVER correctly.
Help!
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?

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.

Hi All,
Here is the scenario:
I am inserting data into a spread sheet from user interface(power builder). But at the same time some one can open that excel spread sheet to read the data. Then the process was going to fail(it won't able to write the data in to the spread sheet). How to avoid this situation? I really appreciate if anyone can shed some light.
Thanks in advance!!
