Excel: Read Column As Text (IMXE=1 Does Not Seem To Help)
Sep 8, 2006
Hi!
We currently have a problem while reading Excel files. The file has one column we want to read as DT_(W)STR which Jet delivers to us only as DT_R8 as there are plenty of numerical entries in that column before one alphanumerical appears.
We first tried with IMEX=1 but as described in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/194124/en-us will only parse the first eigth characters as "TypeGuessRows" is set to 8 and can't be edited.
Is there any way to read a column in Excel in a way typed by the SSIS designer (DT_(w)STR in our case)?
With best regards,
Hauke Schlichting
PS: Designing a "decoy" Excel file with column headers and first columns set is not really considered an option ;-)

Until SSMS 2012 I copy and paste grid view with header directly to Excel. Problem starts when I try to copy results from SSMS 2012 because text column copy with some format and spreads around sheet and not in only one cell. What do I have to do how to select text columns and how to copy them to excel. IN SSMS 2008 it all works OK.

I am loading data using SSIS 2008 from a table in SQL Server 2008 DB to excel 97 sheet pre-defined with column headers. All the columns in excel is has 'Text' format property and the columns in the SQL Server table are defined as nVarchar. One of the columns has trailing spaces in few rows in DB but after exporting to excel 97, the spaces are gone. We need to retain the whitespaces in the column values. How can we do that.

I searched the list but did not see anything related.
I cannot open a file directly exported from RS in the Excel format. If I open the file in the Windows version and then close it, no need to even save it, I can then open it with the Mac version of Excel. The file size after closing is about 2K less so the RS program is adding something onto the file that the Mac version does not like. It will crash Excel when trying to open.
I cannot export the report as CSV as it will not correctly import into Excel on the Mac.
Is there a work around for this?
Thanks.

I have the Excel Connection Manager and Source to read the contents from an Excel file. For some reason couple of numeric fields from the Excel worksheet are brought over as nulls even though they have a value of 300 and 150. I am not sure why this is happening. I looked into the format of the fields and they are set to General in Excel, I tried setting them to numeric and that did not help.
All the other content from the excel file is coming thru except for the 2 numeric fields.
I tried to bring the contents from the excel source to a text file in csv format and for some reason the 2 numeric fields came out as blank.
Any inputs on getting this addressed will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Manisha

I created a system DSN for an Excel file and I have been using it for awhile. I can read from it as well as update it. (The Excel fileincludes weekly updates to some records.)Then I tried to create the same connection with an explicit connectionstring. It opens the file fine, I can read from it and all. But whenI try to update it, it complains that the database is read-only. I amusing the connection string: "Driver=Microsoft Excel Driver(*.xls);DBQ=excel-fle-path;Uid=;Pwd="Is there a switch to include to say that I would like to open the Excelfile as a read/write database just like via the ODBC set up?

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 a problem with reading data from an Excel file in SSIS. I'm trying to read a column that mostly consists of decimal values, but there are couple places where column entry is 2 numbers separated by a slash (e.g. "100/6.0"). SSIS tries to be smart and identifies the column data type as decimal and when it reads the cell with the slash in it, it reads as NULL. I tried to make my excel source reader component to read that cell as a string, but it gives me an error. If anybody has come across something like this, I would highly appreciate some help

Can the header record be read into one table, the detail into another and the trailer into a third within one data transformation or would this have to be done with an active script task.
I then have to take this data and write it back out to one file with a header and detail lines.
Would vb be better for that part or can it be done easily with active script using the file system object. I could write the one header record and append the detail lines after.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hello there
I have written a small code that is used to read records from a txt or a csv file, but when i try to read from a txt or csv file which is in unicode, i get the following error
No value given for one or more required parameters........this error is recieved on the following line
dtadpt.Fill(DataSet.Tables("table2"))
The code for reading from a file is as follows
Dim dtrow As DataRow
Dim cmdtxt, file, path
Dim dtadpt As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter
Dim Command As System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand
Dim Conn As System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection
file = 'name of the file'
path = 'path of file'
Conn = New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=" & path & ";" & "Extended Properties=""text;HDR=YES;FMT=Delimited""")
For Each dtrow In DataSet.Tables("table1").Rows
Dim id
id = dtrow.Item("id")
cmdtxt = "Select * from " & file & " where id = " & id
Command = New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand(cmdtxt, Conn)
dtadpt.SelectCommand = Command
Next
DataSet.Tables.Add("table2")
dtadpt.Fill(DataSet.Tables("table2"))
this code works if i choose a csv or txtfile which is in ANSI format. But i want to read from a unicode file because i have some information in that unicode format that i want to store
any idea how this can be possible
thanks and best regards

So my question is, is there any way to create a new table based on the excel file selected including the column name in SSIS? So that l can use the data reader as source to select those columns l am interested on and start the integration.
Thanks.

I have an excel file with following data:
Agent State Exposure Insured Name
Rogers Inc MA 100,000 John Smith
SAN Group RI 200,000 Jim Morrison
SAN Group RI 100,000 Jimi Hendrix
123 Agency MA 300,000 Mickey Mouse
Rogers Inc MA 50,000 Mike Greenwell
I want to be able to read the file and create new excel files for each Agent listed. So for Example, the above file would create 3 separate files since there are 3 different Agents listed. Each Agent file would contain the same information from the original file. The name of the file would be somethign like AgentName.xls...So the SAN group file would have this:
Agent State Exposure Insured Name
Rogers Inc MA 100,000 John Smith
SAN Group RI 200,000 Jim Morrison
SAN Group RI 100,000 Jimi Hendrix
Is there a way to accomplish this in SSIS?

Hello:
We are running some test on our application which involves long-running transaction in an application that was purchased from a vendor. It is a PB
and we don't have access to all of the code. We are not sure why it runs so slow when we start this long_running process. We are not sure if they are using a stored procedure or not.
We ran updaet statistics becuase alot of data was added before we kicked off the process. We want to capture all of the sql code that is running so we can perhaps add indices.
Under EM, we click on the thread and can get a dialog box that shows the running sql code but the dialog box isn't expandable
THerefore I am wondering if there is a storec provedure or if someone has a script, to see what the complete text of sql is for a running proess? Any shareware tools?
Any information that you can provide will be appreciated. Thanks.

While importing data from Excel source , some column is getting null value even though excel column has value.To Resolve the issue we tried with
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeMicrosoftOffice14.0Access Connectivity EngineEnginesExcel
1.Change the Value of the Row TypeGuessRows from 8 (Default value) to 0 and ImportMixedType = text
• xls
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftJet4.0EnginesExcel
1.Change the Value of the Row TypeGuessRows from 8 (Default value) to 0 and ImportMixedType = text
the connection string of the excel
UPPER(REVERSE(SUBSTRING( REVERSE(@[User::VarInputExcelFile]), 1, 5) ) ) == ".XLSX" ? "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" + @[User::VarInputExcelFile] + ";Extended Properties="Excel 12.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1";":"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data
Source=" + @[User::VarInputExcelFile] + ";Extended Properties="EXCEL 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1";"
by doing the above setting also , the column is coming as null from excel source even though there is data in excel.

I've created an excel spreadsheet with a data connection. This data connection uses a query that runs against a read-only database.
The issue I'm having is that the query never seems to finish running against the database, whether I open the Excel spreadsheet to view the data or run the query in SSMS.
I created the connection on the Data ribbon by going to From Other Sources --> From SQL Server and using the Data Connection Wizard.
Is there some kind of setting or property I'm missing that would allow this query to finish running?

I’ve been trying for a while now (won’t say how long), to get BIDS to read a very simple Excel file.Â
I’m talking SIMPLE!! No matter what I don, SSIS keeps throwing an error, and of course it doesn’t say what the error is, so I can’t really debug it.Â
I’ve tried this at least 20x with flat files, and it works perfect each time. I’ve done Data Conversions, Sorting, Union All, and several other Transformations; all work perfect.Â
Trying to used Excel as a data source, is proving to be a mind numbing experience. Of over 20 different attempts, it hasn’t worked even once. I can make it as simple as you can possibly imagine, and SSIS, refuses to even perform the first step (I’m not even trying to create a table in SQL Server anymore).Â
I have the Excel file path (very simple)
I have the Excel version (very simple)
I have the Connection Manager (very simple)
I have the Sheet name (very simple)
Â
All I can do is see a preview of the Excel sheet before the process runs. As soon as I het F5, I get an instant error, for no reason whatsoever, and no debugging options,whatsoever.
