I am trying to create a DTS package that uses a sql stored procedure to generate a set of results and export those results to an excel spreadsheet on a server.
The trick is that the stored procedure accepts a parameter for Bank_Number (there are 10 of them). Therefore i was wondering if there was a way to somehow create the package to run the stored proc 10 times, each with a different bank number as the parameter and generate 10 different excel spreadsheets, one for each bank with it's results.
Can this be done using DTS or do i have to try another method?
I have an issue where I'm trying to export data from Sql Server tables (or from a result set in a SP or view) into Excel Spreadsheets. Normally I would use a simple data flow to do this. However, I need to do this on-the-fly because the schema of the Sql data is not static. The table could be a different one or the result set would have column schema that is not always the same.
The constant in all of this is that the spreadsheet columns and the table (or result set) column schema is identical. It's just that the column count and column names are not defined at design time, but would need to be defined at runtime.
Going from Excel to Sql Server is simple as I used a Script Task and the SQLBulkCopy class to dynamically transfer the data. However, BOL says that it's only one way (Data to Sql Server). Basically I need the to go the opposite direction now.
I have all of the information (SQL Table server, database, schema, and name and the Excel file path and name) already set up in variables and running through a ForEach container and I can dynamically change the variable information. I just need to figure out how to dynamically map the columns, create the spreadsheet file, and load the data into the spreadsheet. I'm sure this has been tossed around before. If someone could point me in the right direction I would most grateful.
I have an OLEDB source that uses a stored procedure which pivots records and returns me data with columns which are dynamic (Changing every time). How can I export this data with dynamic number of columns to excel destination?
I've been googling this for a while now and can't seem to find any elegant answers.
I'm looking for an automated way to present a FORMATED Excel Spreadsheet to the Customer from a stored procedure output.
Can anyone advise me the best method of doing this - should I / can I assign an Excel Template to the DTS Task output ?
His mind is set on Excel and the formatting is basic and easy to write in a Macro which I've done, but this requires human interaction to finish the task (Automated Run Once on opening etc).
In an ideal world an individual would send an email to the Server with two formated parameters (@FromDate & @ToDate) and would be emailed back a ready formatted S/Sheet. But I believe he would be willing to just select the relevant SpreadSheet for the Daily / Weekly / Monthly periods dumped.
I am running a SQL stored procedure which runs 3 queries on 3 different SQL tables. What is my best option to export the results of these 3 queries to excel?
If it matters they are all SELECT queries, and at most will return < 500 rows.
Is there a way to export query results to an excel fie and add that file as an attachment in the email? All this has to be done using SQL query and it needs to be automated. My coworker tried using Openrowset and BCP, but it is not working.
I am looking (and I have looked everywhere) to run a SP and get the data from it and open an Excel spreadsheet (manual column property editing is fine and preferred) and allow the user to save it wherever they want. I am using VS 2003 Thanks in advance,
I'm looking for a tool that can schedule stored procedures or queries and save the results to pdf or excel (preferrably both). SQL Server 2000, so 2005 reporting services are out, though if that has the capability I'd like to know because that might convince some of the powers that be to upgrade.
I'm new to Integration Services and going through the learning challenges one often faces when employing unfamiliar technology. I've created a simple package that executes a parameterized stored procedure and returns the results (multiple rows) into an object variable. How do I export the results to an XLS file? Do I have to use a script task to do this?
Msg 50000, Level 16, State 2, Procedure ExportInExcel, Line 31 The requested operation could not be performed because OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)" does not support the required transaction interface.
Anyone know why cells within a matrix that are formatted as numeric export to Excel with a cell format proprty of "General"? Cells within a table however export with an appropriate format.
Goal: To run a stored procedure and export its results to Excel. Challenge: The stored procedure produces multiple result sets. We want to programmatically export each result set into just 1 Excel file but into different Worksheets. Ex: result set 1 into Worksheet 1, result set 2 into Worksheet 2 and so on. Tools like
BCP utility and OPENROWSET are not enabled for use on the server. So those are out of the league for this one.After I run "EXEC [sp_select_ view_ columns_ from_pp]" -- Within the Results tab of Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, I see:
As you can see from above, that stored procedure sp_select_view_columns_from_pp is producing multiple result sets within the same Results tab in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. We want to make it so it exports to Excel into its own worksheets.
Code:
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_select_view_columns_from_pp] AS DECLARE @object_id INT; DECLARE cur CURSOR FOR SELECT object_id
Hi, when I copy and paste results from query analyzer into Excel it appears that values with zeroes at the end loose the zeroes. Example, if I copy and paste V128.0 into an Excel cell it comes out as V128 or if I copy 178.70 it displays as 178.7 - any ideas? I'm using SQL Enterprise Manager for 2000.
When I open the spreadsheet in Excel 2000, it works fine. When I try to print, it crashes Excel. In testing, I narrowed it down to the Header/Footer, because it also crashes when I go to Page Setup and click on the header/footer tab.
However, I can print the same spreasheet from Excel 2007.
Am I just dealing with a "you need to upgrade all your clients" situation, or is there a known issue with certian formatting that is passed out with reports that is not supported by older versions of Excel?
I am using Reporting Services 2005 SP2 to serve up the report that is exported to Excel.
Every day an application creates new tables and dumps static info into them.
I would like to create a package to dynamically export those database tables to raw files for long term archive, one file per table. Here is what I have so far and the issue I am having.
1) Get a list of un-archived tables. 2) Foreach table do the following.
a. Export the table into raw file. b. Zip the raw file. c. Update archive tracking table.
As long as the metadata for each table is the same this package seems to work fine. However, I have many tables with different metadata. How can I dynamically get the package update the metadata column collection when it hits a new table? When it hits a table with different metadata I am getting warnings like this:
The column "some_column" needs to be added to the external metadata column collection.
The "external metadata column "someother_column" (103)" needs to be removed from the external metadata column collection.
Then I get this error: Error: 0xC004706B at dump the table into a raw file, DTS.Pipeline: "component "OLE DB Source" (1)" failed validation and returned validation status "VS_NEEDSNEWMETADATA"
Curently I am using a DTS package which is used to import data from Excel sheet into sql dollar table.
Now, the no. of Excel sheets is more than one and everytime the DTS package and VB Code has to be updated and sql dollar tables has to be increased to the no. of Excel sheets available.
The DTS package being executed by VB Code(.EXE).
How can I modify the DTS package and VB Code so that the import can be done dynamically irrespective of no. of Excel Sheets.
I have one share folder ,every month end-user will copy & paste excel file into particular share folder. Ok . Now i have to create new SSIS package as schedule should run every month to find the file and then load automatically into Sql server tables and then move those excel file to another share folder if file successfully loaded only. The excel file name will be changing every month. but the format wont change. If any body knows this process or steps. Please share with me .
Hi everybody, i'm a newbie to SSIS and I'm having a problem dynamically creating a new excel spreadsheet in SSIS. What I need to do is be able to dynamically create a brand new Excel spreadsheet after a data flow task completes.
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.
Hi, Based on the "SQL Book Server Online" from MSSQL 2000 I wrote the following codes in order to export the search results in XML format. se pubsselect 1 as tag, null as parent, stor_id as [store!1!stor_id], stor_name as [store!1!stor_name], null as [Order!2!Ord_Num], null as [Order!2!ord_date] from storesunion allselect 2 as tag, 1 as parent, sa.stor_id, null, sa.ord_num, sa.ord_datefrom sales sajoin stores ston sa.stor_id = sa.stor_idorder by [store!1!stor_id], [Order!2!Ord_Num]for xml explicit The problem is that I want to results to be something like: <stores> <store> <stor_id>6380</stor_id> <stor_name>Eric the Read Books </stor_name> <order> <ord_num>A2976</ord_num> <ord_date>1994-09-14 00:00:00.000</ord_date> </order> <order> <ord_num>722a</order_num> <ord_date>1994-09-13 00:00:00.000</ord_date> </order> </store> <store> <stor_id>7066</stor_id> <stor_name>Barnum's</stor_name> <order> <ord_num>6871</ord_num> <ord_date>1993-05-24 00:00:00.000</ord_date> </order> <order> <ord_num>QA7442.3</ord_num> <ord_date>1994-09-13 00:00:00.000</ord_date> </order> </store></stores> How can I get the results in this format? And, also, how can I export them directly into an xml file and save it on the disk? Thank you in advance for your answers.
There is one manual process done by my friend. The process is " In query analyser, she runs a sql query and the resultset of Sql query, she copies and pastes into a excel workbook".
I wanted to write a SSIS package to automate it and providing a UI, in which she can give connection details and paste the SQL query and the package will in turn generate excel workbook in the target path". I thought of trying ExecuteSQL task, but the output resultset of ExecuteSQL task cannot be mapped dynamically to excel source(correct me if I am wrong). If I use Dataflow task, then also whether dynamic mapping of SQL output to Excel destination input is possible?
Can you please tell me the best approach for achieving the above functionality?
I have an exiting excel workbook say master.xls. Now I need to dynamically create and append a new worksheet to the above master.xls every month end using the Reporting services.
Could you please guide me how dynamically creating the worksheets task can be achieved using the reporting services?
Your any guidance or help in this matter will be highly appreciated.
I am experiencing some quirks when exporting to PDF. I have read all the other posts about page sizes, margins, etc and my situation seems to be a bit different.
I have a report that contains a bar chart (Height = 15cm, Width = 19cm) and below that a rectangle that contains two text boxes with totals information (Left = 11.6cm, Width = 7.4cm, Height 0.5cm)
Now most of the time it exports to PDF perfectly - all on one page as would be expected
If however the chart has more than say 20 items on the y-axis then the rectangle gets pushed onto an new page.
For extra information, but not to confuse the issue I also have a page header and footer that have items lined up right to the edge (left + width = 19cm) and they all display fine on the one page. It is just this rectangle that is having the problem.
When I move the rectangle to the left a bit (11.4cm) so 0.2cm away from the right hand edge then it works fine.
It is just very strange because I cant see how it is getting shifted only when the chart contains a lot of items.
