Excel Files, Multiple Tabs

May 8, 2008

I know from experience that the Excel connection mechanisms are somewhat limited. I was wondering if anyone has come across a solution to this problem.

We receive an excel file from a business line. Basically a list of account mods for a given month. Due to the tabular nature of Excel, sometimes the amount of mods exceeds the limits of one tab and has to roll over into a second tab. The names of the tabs reflect the file creation date, which often is the last day of the month, but not always. Here is a question related to this-

Is there a way to "query" a the list of tabs in an Excel file, so that I could store that record set in an SSIS variable, use it to loop through all the tabs? If no, can you think of a way to somehow get the value of the tab name or names so that I can use it to dynamically set the OpenRowset value of the Excel Data Source?

Thanks for your help, everyone!

Reporting Services :: 2014 Enterprise - Multiple Tabs When Saving To Excel?

Oct 28, 2015

We are running 2014 enterprise. Our users love to see related report sections saved in separate tabs of the same spreadsheet. Is there a way to control how ssrs will save a report to excel when it comes to tabs?

Are subreports a/the way (and only way) to do this?

By sections I mean they might have a grid, then another grid, then a graph then another graph and so on.

What property controls the tab name? What if they want to combine 2 or more sections into one tab?

Importing Multiple Excel Files

Oct 27, 2006

I have a client who is sending me 800+ excel files each month with sales data. Each of the files is identical in structure, but has sales data for different stores. I receive all these files at the same time.

Is there a method with Data Transformation Services where I can have it work off of all the files in a given directory. I can set up DTS to work off of specific Excel files with no problem, but what I would like to do is set up a DTS so it could pull from each of the 800+ files.

Is this possible, or do I need to look at a solution outside of SQL to consolidate the Excel files first?

The Excel file would have columns similar to the following: store_id, zip_code, sales, transactions.

Using SSIS To Generate Multiple Excel Files

Apr 24, 2007

Hello all,

I'm new to SSIS and have a question about the best way to generate multiple Excel files with my current package design. I have a stored procedure that I run from an Execute SQL Task in a foreach loop container, and it generates results as appropriate for each of the parameters it loops through.

What's the best way to take the result set from each of those executions and generate an Excel file from each set? How do I map that result set variable to be the input for creating a new Excel file? Is this best done as a script task somehow?

Should I not be using SSIS for this task? I thought I would just create a package and schedule it to run daily with SQL Agent, and it would autogenerate the Excel files as needed.

Thanks for your advice!

SSIS Changing Excel Tabs Dynamically

Mar 25, 2008

In my SSIS package I have a loop container that I am running the same code against 4 servers.
I have the package export the SQL data to an Excel spreadsheet that has multiple tabs.

Is there a way I can change the tab on the fly or do I need to create a Connection for the same spreadsheet 4 times
Each Connection pointing to a different tab?

I tried to set up a expression for the Excel Connection Manager to use the InitialCatalog for the tab and change it
based on the script in the loop however this causes the following error:

An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E21 Description: "Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.".
Cannot create an OLE DB accessor. Verify that the column metadata is valid.

Thanks in advance

Integration Services :: New 2014 Install Can't See Tabs In Excel

Oct 20, 2015

I have two local boxes. On one I have ssis 2008 r2, the other a new install of 2014 enterprise. I have an excel file that both machines can open (ext .xlsx) with 64 bit excel 2010 on the same share location.On my 2008 r2 installation, when I create a dft then go thru adding an excel source and let ssis create a conn mgr, ssis can see the one and only tab in the source's "name of excel sheet" drop down.On my 2014 installation, I see a message "no tables or views could be loaded" in the drop down after going thru the same steps. I don't know if it matters in 2014 but I set 32 bit mode on both.Am I missing some sort of addin on my ssis 2014 install? I cant say for certain what version of excel created this file.

Rename Tabs In Excel File Created By SSRS

Nov 13, 2007

I love SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS), but it doesnt let me name the tabs when exporting to Excel. The feature is well documented as not being available.

So I figured I can use the cell(1,1) on each tab to contain the tab name, and have an SSIS job poll a file share, open the file, read the cell, rename tabs, rename the file, and then email out the file. Polling the directory and emailing is a piece of cake, but I can't find any way to rename a tab without having Excel loaded on the SERVER. Not to mention instantiating an entire instance of Excel on the SERVER every time I want to do this.

I want to leverage SSRS, and preserve the formatting of the excel file, which is why I don't just dump the data in with SSIS to begin with.

Anybody have any ideas?

Integration Services :: Import Multiple Files Into Multiple Tables Using SSIS

Jun 16, 2015

I have a requirement where in i have around 15 different flat files , filenames are fixed but folder path can be changed(i think i should use a variable for folder path). These 15 files data should go to their respective tables in the database.

Whether I need to create separate data flow task for each file or separate package? In addition to these, example : while importing product data into product table, if product ID already exists, we need to ignore it and upload only the new records.

Importing Multiple Flat Files To Multiple Tables In SSIS

Jun 27, 2006

I have a couple of hundred flat files to import into database tables using SSIS.

The files can be divided into groups by the format they use. I understand that I could import each group of files that have a common format at the same time using a Foreach Loop Container.

However, the example for the Foreach Loop Container has multiple files all being imported into the same database table. In my case, each file needs to be imported into a different database table.

Is it possible to import each set of files with the same format into different tables in a simple loop? I can't see a way to make a Data Flow Destination item accept its table name dynamically, which seems to prevent me doing this.

I suppose I could make a different Data Flow Destination item for each file, in the Data Flow. Would that be a reasonable solution, or is there a simpler solution, or should I just resign myself to making a separate Data Flow for every single file?

SQL Tools :: How To Restore Multiple Databases From Multiple BAK Files At Once

Aug 14, 2012

I am trying to restore multiple .bak backup SQL database files onto a new server. However, I have found that it will not allow me to restore multiple databases at once. Is there a way to do this so that I do not have to manually upload one at a time? I tried adding all the .bak files at once to the backup device window but it only did the first one listed. It would be so much easier to restore them all at once so that I do not have to continue this manual process. I am restoring them via device.

Bulk Insert Multiple Files To Multiple Tables - How?

Feb 15, 2008

I need to be able to bulk insert a bunch of tables from their corresponding flat file. I have created an XML file (see below) which has the file name/table name pair at each node. I then created a ForEachLoop task and used the Node enumeration type and the following OuterXpathString: ReferenceFiles/File. At this point I get lost. How do I pass the 2 inside node values (file name and table name) to variables which I can then use as expressions for the bulk insert task inside the Foreach?

Here is XML file:

Code Snippet
<ReferenceFiles>

<File>

<FileName>Ref_Categories.txt</FileName>
<TableName>Ref_Categories</TableName>
</File>
<File>

<FileName>Ref_Configs.txt</FileName>
<TableName>Ref_Configs</TableName>
</File>
</ReferenceFiles>

Thanks.

Export Multiple Tables To Multiple Flat Files

Nov 29, 2007

I used the data export wizard to export a single table to a single flat file (multiple wasn't allowed). I saved the package as a *.dtsx file which I'm attempting to edit to add the additional tables.

Creating additional sources is fairly easy copy of the first source and change to the table name.

I've tried copying the destination connection and changing to a new text file, but can't get past having to add each column manually to the new destination.

How can I duplicate the mapping that must be taking place in the wizard in the *.dtsx editing environment?

This seems like a simple / common task, but I've been unable to find a solution.

Thanks, Richard

Multiple Flat Files To Multiple Tables

Jun 1, 2007

Hi,

I have searched but not found quite the best way to look at this so far..

I have an application that outputs data to several text files (up to 30). These have commonality by an object name, but then contain completely different column data.

In DTS I had each of the source text file connections going to one OLE DB connection and then individual transform data tasks pointing to the one OLE DB connection.

Looking at SSIS, it would appear that I would need to have one source and one destination for each of these and therefore 30 parallel data flows?

Just wondering if there is a neater way of doing this??

It is a regular data import that happens a few times a day - the text files are named the same as the SQL tables - ie app_userdata.txt goes to app_userdata table.

Hope that explains ok and thanks in advance.

Mike

DTS - Multiple Files To Multiple Tables

Aug 4, 2004

I am trying to write (my first, unfortunatly) DTS, and am having some problems.

I need to be able to import multiple flatfiles (all in the same format, just with different schema), each one going into a different table. I have written an application to call my DTS, sending it variables for the tablename and the filename. This works fine when I test it on a single flatfile.

My problem is, the Tranformation object does not reset after each DTS call, so I get "Column does not exist" errors after the first successful import. I can go into the DTS Manager and reset the Transformation options, but that would defeat the purpose of automation. Is there anyway to reset, or another technique, the Transformation object so that it will continuosly work on files that use different schema?

I am very new at DTS, so please consider me "ignorant" when replying.

Thanks in advance.

Excel Files Against SQL Server - Validation

Nov 18, 2005

HiI'm rather new to ASP.NET (was working with win forms before) and having a few problems with my first app. To the point - this is an internal system - every week about 50 branches send financial reports to the headquaters where those excel files are validated against data in sql server. after file is uploaded to the server I'm opening it using Excel object model and iterating through it line by line. Apart from format and datatype checking, for each line there are ~2 stored procedures invokedEverything is working actually but my concern is performance.. After about 800 rows it is getting really slow.. Appreciate any comments on this.thanksAM

Import Excel Files Realtime

Nov 6, 2007

Hi,
Using SSIS, I am successfully importing data from excel files into a table in sql server 2005.
These excel files are ALWAYS open and are being updated from external sources i.e. third party tools.
After doing alot of investigations, I have reached the conclusions as follows:
When the excel files are NOT being updated, then the ssis package works
BUT when the excel files are being updated, then the ssis package does not work. The error is:

[Excel Source [749]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER. The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009. There may be error messages posted before this with more information on why the AcquireConnection method call failed.

Please note that the excel files MUST be open so that they get updated by the third party tool.
AND, every few minutes i.e. 5 mins, my ssis package should import these excel files.

Question:
How is it possible to load the excel data while it is being updated by external third party.

Thanks
