Nov 11, 2014I have an excel file which has dynamic columns
i.e. Col1, Col2, Col3 this week. next week i will have a new Col4 in the sheet. This will keep on adding every week.
My problem is to Unpivot the data
Date 8/2/2013 8/9/2013 8/16/2013
Stock 1,561 1,661 1,761
i.e. the abobe table should become as
Date Stock
8/2/2013 1561
8/9/2013 1661
8/16/2013 1,761
How can I unpivot the dynamic columns given that the columns will keep on increasing every week.

Integration Services :: Export To Excel Dynamic Number Of Columns
Sep 11, 2015We have a requirement to produce adhoc Excel reports with a standardized header page with a disclaimer attached. We want to be able to feed in a SQL Statement, or a table with the resultset from a SQL Statement and have SSIS populate an existing blank Excel workbook, which the disclaimer attached. The use of xp_cmdshell is not an option.I've spent a lot of time looking for solutions on the web and it seems though its not possible - although many articles are 3-5 years old. Before I throw in the towel, I just wanted to get feedback from this group if it still is not possible in the latest versions of SQLServer and SSIS, or to ask if there are any other 3rd party solutions that can do this today.
View 5 Replies View RelatedProblem When Export To Excel Hidden Columns With Coloured Background
Apr 18, 2008Nice topic, Hidden columns!!
I read several threads about this topic.
This is what I understood:
when you hide a COLUMN based on an Expression when you render the report all the hidden columns takes space at the end of the report because the body doesn't rezise.
It seems that there is no workaround, this is how RS works (any correction is appreciated) and I can leave with it because I don't have so much hidden columns.
My problem is that the background color of the columns of the table is RED and when I export the report to PDF, at the end of the table with the visible columns I have some columns red..
If these extra columns would be white it could be acceptable, but these red columns are really annoyng!
Someone can advice me how to solve this issue?
Thank you

Col3, col4 are columns in another table but these can be just a read only ?? Is this possible ? this is possible with View but not friendly with share point CRUD...Col 5 is a computed column of col 2 and col5 ? if above step can be done then sure this can be done I guess.
Reports Exported As Excel Cannot Be Read By Mac Version Of Excel
Jan 31, 2007I 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.

Excel Report Export Causes Excel 2000 To Crash On Print
Dec 5, 2007When 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.
Any assistance is appreciated.
DTS Export To Excel (How To Format Results In Excel)
Nov 22, 2005Hi All
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.
Thanks

Certain Numeric Fields Not Read From The Excel File When Using A Excel File Source.
Jul 20, 2006I 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,

Excel - Read-only
Jul 23, 2005I 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?

Excel: Read Column As Text (IMXE=1 Does Not Seem To Help)
Sep 8, 2006Hi!
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 ;-)

SSIS Excel Source Read Problem
Jun 23, 2006I 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

SSIS Read Excel Rows And Create New Output
Feb 1, 2013I 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?

SQL 2012 :: Excel Spreadsheet Data Connection To Read-only Database
Aug 10, 2015I'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?
Integration Services :: How To Make SSIS Read Excel File
Dec 7, 2011I’ve been trying for a while now (won’t say how long), to get BIDS to read a very simple Excel file.
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.
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.
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).
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)
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.
