Excel Destination Data Flow Component Shows No Sheet Name Or Output Column Names For Mappings
Mar 8, 2008
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
Has anyone done this? I can't find anything in the documentation that describes this. The closest I get is to the InnerObject property of the TaskHost class. There is an example of programming a bulk insert task. But I can't find anything on programmatically setting the column mappings (source to dest) of a simple data flow task. Any help is appreciated!
Is there a default destination component used when a new data flow is created? The reason I ask is simply curiosity. I have an xml file with 2 pieces of data: item A and item B. A should simply get copied out of the file. B should undergo a quick transform. I set up an XML source such that two columns are mapped correctly to the XML source data of A and B. I set up my data transform task as well. So, if I leave those two components on the .dtsx page with no other components, then will there be a default data flow destination already created? ...OR, do you always have to have a destination component?
I have an excel file which contains lots of sheets. Some of them are named as DW-<day>-<month> (for e.g; DW-1-July). Like this I have sheets for the whole month. I have other sheets too with a different name. I would like to import data from these sheets only (DW ones). Upon my research I have found that this can be achieved via For Each Loop Container (I guess!).
Post data import, I have a set of T-SQL query that I plan to execute via Execute SQL Task.
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.
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'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.
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.
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. =)
I'm having my first go at developing a destination adapter which will send data to an update Web Service.
I've got some rather big gaps in my understanding. I've been following the various samples I've found on the net and have validated my mapping and picked up all the available column names and datatypes which are appearing in the Input and Output Properties tab of the Advanced Editor but I only have a tab for "Input Columns" and not "Column Mappings".
Which method defines the availble columns for the user to map?
Let me know if I haven't given enough information.
I am wondering if anyone knows how to change the sheet names in Excel when exporting a report from Reporting Services 2005. In other words, I have a report with approximately 5 page breaks built in. When I render the report to Excel, it creates the 5 sheets as I expect, but it names them "Sheet1", "Sheet2", "Sheet3" etc... Is there a way to specify the name of the sheets? I am currently using a different table in my report for each sheet, but I am open to structuring this differently if needed.
I created a ssis package which exports the data from oledb source to flat file (csv format). For this i have OLEDB source and Flat File as destination. I generate the file and filename dynamically with the column names in the first row. So if the dynamically generated file name already exists , then i want to append the data in the same existing file. But I dont want to append the column names again. I just want to append the rows to the existing rows.
so lets say first time i generate a file called File1_3132008.csv.
Col1, Col2 1,2 3,4
After some days if my ssis package generates the same file name i.e. File1_3132008.csv, this time i just want to append the rows to the existing file. So the file should look like this- Col1, Col21,23,45,67,8
But instead my file looks like this if i set Overwrite propery to false
Col1,Col2 1,2 3,4 Col1,Col2 5,6 7,8
Can anyone help me to get the file as shown in the highlighed
Hello, I am trying to create a simple package programmatically. I am following the examples in the BOL, and from some advice here. I am getting stuck at creating an Excel Destination and setting its sheetname. Everything works fine, including setting the output Excel filename. I get a runtime exception when I try to set the sheetname via SetComponentProperty. Is there another way, or am I doing something wrong? Thanks for any info you may have.
' Create and configure an OLE DB destination.

I have an SSIS package that produces an Excel output file say File1 The Excel output file is created from a previous script task by copying a standard excel template to File1 after the copy, File1 has the disclaimer, legend etc... and a header row at row 10. So data rows should only start at row 11.
I was googling and found that people who read Excel file using an Excel source component have been successful reading from a range by the use of the OPENROWSET property. It is said to set this property to Sheet1$A5-B999 to start reading from row 5.
I tried to set the OPENROWSET property to be Sheet1$A11-B999 but am getting an error "Check that object exists" (Sheet1 does exist) So I guess it is the range that has an improper syntax or something else is wrong.

But SQL Table Last 39 Records Dumped as NULL whichever is Alphanumeric. Why? Dynamically How Can I import without doing Text to column in Excel on that column ?
I have a situation where I want to map a column from a flat file to TWO columns in a table.
However, in the mappings tab, you can only select the "Input Column" once. Once a column has been used, it no longer appears in the drop down list.
I am wondering if there's a way to override this behavior, and if not, what is the best way to handle this type of situation?
I have added an EXECUTE SQL task to update the second column with the inserted column values, but I would like to know if the default mapping behavior can be changed, as it seems so limited.
IS that possible to get teh output of a execute sql task to excel destination.I have query which will comapre the data difference between two databses. It will comapre all tables in both databses and list out the difference in data by each table. I need to run this query using SSIS and need to get the output to a excel sheet...I have used the data flow task to run this query but my query is giving some error when used with data flow task. So i have used excecute sql task and need to write teh out put to a excel sheet.
1.After creating pacakages what i am concerned about is that when i move then to different locations do they work just the same as the had been.
2.About the mapping with in the components like lookups,and the variable with in conditional split or etc....do they get disturbed with any change in the location of the textfiles or anything of this kind of location change.
3.Is is adviceable transforming 5 to 6 text file with in one package in parallel
The column names I'm using often have underscores in them. I've noticed that, when writing script in the script component editor, the underscore characters mysteriously dissapear. Is this a known bug? (I can't find any reference to this by Googling)
Hello,I was wondering if anyone can help me figure something out.Is it possible to do a querey in MS SQL server and have the resultsreturned so that each result in each row is preceeded by the columnname?eg. instead of usual output -colName1, colValue1,colName2,colValue2,colName3,colValue3 ?Also I would like to only have this for certain columns ie in theabove example only for columns 2 and 3Thank you! :-)Yas
Now, i have a SQL Server database called "EmployeeDB" which has 2 tables "TblEmp1", "TblEmp2". The Table is like this.
TblEmp1 : Columns EmpName EmpDept EmpjoinDate
TblEmp2 : Columns EName EDate Edept
using integration services (SSIS) i need code(vb.net or c#) to Create a dtsx package so that i can push the flat file content to these 2 tables. And the condition is :
After Executing the package Data loaded in TblEmp1 should be like this
Now, i know that we need to do like this in wizard 1) Create a flat file source component. 2) Create flat file connection and set the properties of flat file (delimeters and other things) 3) Create a Multicast Component. 4) Create a Path between Flat file source and Multicast. 5) Create 2 destination component(each for a table). 6) Create path from multicast to 2 destination components 7) Create a OledbConnection and set table names for 2 destination components.. 7) Now,i have to do mapping for destination1.8) Now, i have to do mapping for destination2( this mapping will be different from mapping done for destination1 because iam not inserting the data in the same order in which iam doing for TBLEmp1.
I have done it in wizard.I need to do it through code and i know that its not complicated.Please find the attached file with this mail.i have attached a screen shot of how i have done in wizard.The main problem is Mapping differently for 2 destinations from source.for 1st one we can have a forloop for mapping.but for 2nd one iam confused!!
I can't seem to find a way to make the Data Flow Destination in a Business Intelligence Visual Studion Project output an MDB file for Microsoft Access.
i want to import data from an excel sheet into a database. While reading from the excel sheet OleDb automatically guesses the Datatype of each column. My Problem is the first A Column which contains ~240 Lines. 210 Lines are Numbers, the latter 30 do contain strings. When i use this code:
Code BlockDim sConn As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & conf_path_current & file_to_import & ";Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=NO""" Dim oConn As New OleDb.OleDbConnection(sConn) Dim cmd1 As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand("Select * From [Table$]", oConn) Dim rdr As OleDb.OleDbDataReader = cmd1.ExecuteReader Do While rdr.Read() Console.WriteLine(rdr.Item(0)) 'or rdr(0).ToString Next
it will continue to read the stuff till the String-Lines are coming. when using Item(0), it just crashes for trying to convert a DBNull to a String, when using rdr(0).ToString() it just gives me no value.
So my question is how to tell OleDB that i want that column to be completly read as String/Varchar?
Thanks for Reading

I need to see inside a SSIS 2012 project a new SSIS installed component, but in the SSDT 2010 I cannot see the SSIS Data Flow Items tab for adding data source/data destination respect to the choose toolbox items pane.
I have an excel sheet that contain colummns as in a table in a sql database i want to transfer this data from the sheet to the table frombusiness logic code layer not from the enterprise manager by wizardwhat can i do?? ...please urgent
I have a int value that I pulled from a table in a database and it is stored in a variable. I would like to increment this value in a script component and then insert it into a field in my ole db destination. Is there any example out there of using a script component to do something similar to this.
Do I want to select source, destination or transformation?
Can I/how do I access my variable from within the script component.
Any asistance or examples you can point me towards would be greatly appreciated.
There is a table with a column that contains Xml documents. For each record from my Data Flow Source, I want to pass in the Xml document and the node to interrogate, and return the value contained in the node. Like the Crm component, this is probably one I will have to write from scratch in C#, but I would like to avoid having to create the custom component if it already exists in the public arena.
Does anyone know of any Xml Ssis Data Flow Components that are downloadable for free?
I am getting the following error running a data flow that splits the input data into multiple streams and writes the results of each stream to the same destination table:
"This operation conflicts with another pending operation on this transaction. The operation failed."
The flow starts with a single source table with one row per student and multiple scores for that student. It does a few lookups and then splits the stream (using Multicast) in several layers, ultimately generating 25 destinations (one for each score to be recorded), all going to the same table (like a fact table). This all is running under a transaction at the package level, which is distributed to a separate machine.
Apparently, I cannot have all of these streams inserting data into the same table at one time. I don't understand why not. In an OLTP system, many transactions are inserting records into the same table at once. Why can't I do that within the same transaction?
I suppose I can use a UnionAll to join them back together before writing to a single destination, but that seems like an unnecessary waste and clutters the flow. Can anyone offer a different solution or a reason why this fails in the first place?
