I am trying to import data from an excel worksheet to sql mgmt studio express..Everyone has told me to right click my database, select tasks, select import but the problem is there is no IMPORT option..What did I do wrong??
Currently my package contains an Excel Source with a contraint to a SQL Table. The Excel Connection Manager currently has an expression attached to it which allows it to read the variable value and this in turn loads the correct file. This all works fine. The problem I am having is that if the Worksheet name is different to what was previously set a error is thrown. Is there anyway in SSIS I can retrieve the name of the excel worksheet and pass it into a variable to be used. Thanks

I'm trying to create a DTS package that will let me import an Excel file. The user will be able to name the file the same name every time. But can the DTS package read a different worksheet name each time? Right now, if I use the Excel connection object in DTS designer, it wants to hard code the worksheet name.

I have a sales report with each item group strating in a new page. When I export this to excel, I get mutiple worksheets (one sheet for each item group). This is fine but only problem is worksheets are not named( in this case name of item group). Has anyone got an idea how to populate worksheet names fro reporting services?
I've created a stored procedure that accepts two arguments: the name of an Excel workbook (@workbookBillRun), and the name of the first worksheet found in that workbook (@worksheetBillRun).
Through dynamic SQL, I'm able to construct a statement that pulls out data.
The workbook name will always be known: when the user uploads the file, I change the name to match a certain pattern. Example: 2011-08 AUG.xlsx
However, I won't always know the worksheet name. The workbook *should* contain just one worksheet; and the worksheet *should* be named identically to the workbook (2011-08 AUG), but it may not be named as such. And if I pass an invalid worksheet name, the code above will fail.
I've created error handling to alert the user of an incorrectly named sheet. However, I was curious whether I could extract the name of the first worksheet in the workbook from within T-SQL.
Hi :1. I import data into sqlserver, from an excel file, from a worksheetwithin it, named 'input_data'2. then i scrub the data in sqlserver3. then i export some data into the same excelfile but into anotherworksheet named 'output_data'I have got it working and this is how i am doing it right now. I amhaving a problem in the few steps identified below :1. I delete the worksheet 'output_data' using an execsql taskDROP TABLE `output_data'2. Then i have another execsql task to create itCREATE TABLE `output_data`3. Then i have datapump task to put data into worksheet.The work fine, but i am running into a problem, when the output_dataworksheet doesnt exist.So i need to write a query tellingIF `output_data` doesnt exist, then DROP ITHow do i do thisI am open to doing this in ActiveX Script(vbscript) and ExecSQL taskAlso i do not have excel dll or runtime in my dbserver.Please let me knowthanksRS
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.
I have a situation where I want to load the Excel file dynamically, and the excel file have different columns or even worksheet name. How I could approach this? I believe there's no way to modify the meta data (specifically the mapping) in the data flow.
I am creating a report that uses a list that has page breaks. The breaks are grouped by a certain field. When exporting the report to excel, the page breaks translate to individual tab sheets. The question is can I name the tab sheets according to the field grouping applied to the list. Example the field grouping is department name. Therefore the tabs should be: Sheet1 = Finance Sheet2 = Human Resource Sheet3 = Project Management
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.
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've built a fairly straight forward report in RS that looks normal in preview mode and in PDF format with out any issues.But when I export it to Excel report header is not appearing in each page.Any ideas as to why this is occurring?thanks in advance,Ramesh KS
Hello All, I'm simply exporting data from SQL to Excel via the Export Data feature in SQL Management Studio.My problem is I have a column aliased as [ID #] and when it exports it changes the Pound Sign into a decimal -> ID .SPACE(25) As [ID#], It's not a major problem but does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, Kyle
Hi there I know its possible to export data from a gridview to excel. I'm looking to export data directly from a stored procedure at the click of a button.Somebody suggested using the following:insert into OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Excel 8.0;Database=C: esting.xls;', 'SELECT * FROM [SheetName$]') select * from table-nameWhen I tried executing the above lines of codes I got the following error message:"Ad hoc access to OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' has been denied. You must access this provider through a linked server." If anyone has any idea whats wrong ... plssssssssssssssssssss ... let me know .... Thanks in advance.
I have a job which produces a daily report and exports it to excel. However, instead of overwriting the contents of the file the data is being appended to the file. Any suggestions welcome.
I'm trying to export to excel using dts, but using a stored procedure where i have a query using temporary tables (#D,#T,#R) and the result is a table with a variable number of columns (sometimes 3 columns and sometimes 10 columns)
I want to run Stored procedure that is returning recordsets and is using cursors/ temporary tables (MS Sql 2000 Server). The output of this SP is to be used to prepare an excel Report.
It shows me the data in the Preview, but asks me to define transformations. Further on the transformations, it does not shows up the source columns (although they were populated in the preview)
When I perform the same task using DTS Export utility, i get the following error:
Error source: MS ole db provider for sql server Error Desc : Null Accessors are not supported by this provider context: error calling CreateAccessor. Your provider does not support all the interface/methods required by DTS
1. I created a spreadsheet named test.xls with the column headings from my temp table 2. Saved and closed this xls 3. Tried to run the following:
USE [PEI]; GO INSERT INTO OPENROWSET ('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Excel 8.0;Database=C:DELL est.xls;', 'SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]') SELECT * FROM tblCFPooled GO
Where C:DELL est.xls is where I saved test.xls, tblCFPooled is the table I have populated in the firstplace and PEI is the database name.
When I run this the following error crops up:
OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)" returned message "The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find the object 'Sheet1$'. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly.". Msg 7350, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 Cannot get the column information from OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)".
I then found something on a different site: http://www.mssqltips.com/tip.asp?tip=1202
So based on this I tried:
insert into OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Excel 8.0;Database=C:DELL est.xls;', 'SELECT * FROM [T$]') select * from tblCFPooled
And obtained the following error:
OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)" returned message "The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find the object 'T$'. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly.". Msg 7350, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 Cannot get the column information from OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)".
(I renamed the sheet1 to T if you are wondering where T$ comes in!)
Before running either of these 'export' queries I did as instructed in the first link: EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1; GO RECONFIGURE; GO EXEC sp_configure 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries', 1; GO RECONFIGURE; GO
Which produced results: Configuration option 'show advanced options' changed from 0 to 1. Run the RECONFIGURE statement to install. Configuration option 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries' changed from 0 to 1. Run the RECONFIGURE statement to install.
I assumed from that I had successfully enabled Ad Hoc Distributed Queries - Is that correct?
Both methods seem to throw up a similar error, an error which makes me think its some kind of SQL authentication issue.
Has anyone successfully exported from SQL to Excel - if so, any tips?!
(For the record I am using Management Studio, we are running SQL Server 2005, I am doing all this on a Vista Business machine, the SQL server is on a local server on our network here. )
I have a report when I run that report if the result is span for multiple page the table header is displaying for each page.When exported to PDf it is displaying the table header for each page.but when we export to Excel the table headers are not displaying.Any work around for this.
Hi , I have a simple report which i want to export to excel format. the are no groups in the report. I need each page of the report to appear as a seperate page in excel. currently when i export the report i get a single continuous page. is there any way in which i can do this ????
I have some reports that I used vbcrlf in. Whenever they are exported to Excel only the first line appears.
Ex: Name (&vbcrlf) Address 1 (& vbcrlf) Address 2 (& vbcrlf) City, State, Zip
This exports to Excel and displays the name line only. However, if I close the file that was exported and the extra blank screen, and hit export to excel again for a second time, all of the information is displayed.
I am having a problem exporting data to excel using t-sql. I need to create a t-sql stored procedure that exports the resultset of a dynamic query to Excel where the columns are not know beforehand.
I have been able to do it using bcp, but the problem is that the bcp method just exports the data to an tab-delimited ascii file with a .xls extension. Excel is smart enough to pick it up and parse it out into the individual cells, but the problem arises if the field value contains any special chars that may have been picked up when the user input the data by using copy & paste. Then the columns/rows are skewed for the record that has the field with the special chars in its field value.
I have tried using the openrowset method and if you know the fields(cols) that you want to retrieve, it works great. All you have to do is pre-create an excel file with the first row containing the columnNames for each column. But for dynamic queries, this is not an option. I have read somewhere that you can do a range, but have not been able to figure out to do that yet. You would have to pre-determine the number of columns & rows and figure out the range. Columns A-Z may not be as big an issue, but then I would have to figure out the values for any columns if the column count exceeded 26.
Outside of using Ole-Automation, is there any way than I can achieve the results that I really need? It just seems like over-kill for something that should be a simple task. If it cannot be done outside of Ole-Automation, is there a good example that someone can point me to?
