when i try to export reports to excel number fileds has exported as text !!
I use SQL server with database in US codepage, Reporting Services in english version but excel with Italian codepage settings.
So i must convert the defaul decimal separator from "." to "," within the report generation. This cause that i can't use te cdbl() conversion directly in the report field.
Anyone have sugestion ??
P.S. I can't change the database and excel codepage settings
Once again, SSIS is giving me a 'F.U.N.' time (ask for definition of the F.U.N. acronym another time ).
I have a relatively simple task - create an excel spreadsheet with 3 columns of data - Id, Description and Sales. ID and Description are text, sales is int.
So my SP aggregates and creates my resultset in my OLE DB Source in the Data Flow. It proceeds to the Excel destination, and that all seems fine. My issue is that the data is being written as text. Looking at the excel destination in Advanced editor: the Excel Destination Input, Input columns are formatted as I expected: DT_WSTR 8 for the ID, DT_WSTR 100 for the Description and DT_I4 for the Sales. Excel Destination Input, External columns refuse to fall in line, though. They are all listed as DT_WSTR 255.
The target excel spreadsheet is being created from a template file. That template file has header columns. The target column for the Sales has the entire column formatted to NUMBER (0 decimals). Yet to now avail.
When I check the spreadsheet, the column has retained the cell formatting, and I have a 'I' pop-up to inform me that 'someone' has inserted text data into the number column (even though the data IS number).
Since the SP spits out INT, it isn't a case of receiving a text value, imho. While trying to change the external column data type in the advanced editor, SSIS is quite happy to let me change the value for the Sales output to DT_I4, apply, and ok. Then, when I open it immedaitely aftgerwards, it has reverted to the DT_WSTR's! AArrgh. If is can't handle it, at least tell me when I try and change it. don't let me change it, and then revert back without telling me! Grumble grumble...
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.
Hi In the Exported Excel File the Format of a Field whose value is always 0 should be 0.00. I used the following code in Sql select Stmt:- Select convert(numeric(26,2), Convert(Varchar(5),0.00)) as [Column Name]. But still in the Excel sheet Value of this column appears as 0. Can any one suggest as to how do i go abt it??
I need to populate three worksheets within the same workbook with data from SQL 2005. However, I am not sure how to handle the custom formatting. Even if I use a template, my data does not start at Row 2 for any of the worksheets.
Under SQL 2000 DTS, I used to work directly in an ActiveX script task to instantiate an Excel workbook and loop through the data, placing it in the correct cells, handle formatting, etc. I cannot seem to find any way to do this in SQL 2005 but perhaps I am missing an easier option?
I've created a report that has cells in it that I want to be formatted as percentages. I set the format code in the cell properties to "P1" and everything appears to work fine until I export to Excel. Some cells show up with only one digit after the decimal and some show up with two digits after the decimal. I looked at the formatting in Excel (right click, Format Cells...) and it is set to "[$-1010409]#,##0.0#%". I don't have the first clue what that is "supposed" to do but what it does is this:
If I enter 100.00 in the cell it shows up as 100.0%. Expected If I enter 100.10 in the cell it shows up as 100.1%. Expected If I enter 100.15 in the cell it is displayed as 100.15%. Not expected
I have formatted the report to only show one digit after the decimal, but RS exports to Excel with some funky formatting that sometimes shows one digit and sometimes two digits after the decimal. Why wouldn't it simply format the cell as a percent? How can I get it to only show a single digit after the decimal?
This is Excel 2007 but Excel 2003 has the same behavior.
I have got a report which has a table and a list. I used list, as I wanted to use a subreport and be able to export it to excel. The subreprot takes two parameters from the main report.
When I run the report, it looks ok, but when I export it to excel, the formatting is all messed up, the subreport in the list appears after all the rows of the table.
I have aligned the list very close to the last column of the table.
Looks like this in designer. (List is very close to the last column. Can some one help me if there is any better way of doing this.
We 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.
say, i have a column in the database that has number values. I want to display these number with comma separators (Eg: if the column values is 1654, then i want to display it as 1,654).
And I would like to pull them from the table using sql 2008 and have the formatting look like this:
(111)555-1212 x1234.
How can I make this happen? Where numbers are missing, I would prefer to leave the area blank, ie 5551212 becomes 555-1212, and 1115551212 becomes (111)555-1212, extension numbers only where they are currently included.
Here is what I have CDec(Sum(Val(Fields!Test1.Value))/(Val(CountRows("Group1"))*SomeNumber)*100%) This works fine but the problem is the number can be 25.325641. I only want to get 25 so I did this
Hi I'm trying to convert and format integer values in a SQL Server select statement to a string representation of the number formated with ,'s (1000000 becomes 1,000,000 for example). I've been looking at CAST and CONVERT and think the answers there somewhere. I just don'tseem to be able to work it out. Anyone out there able to help me please? Thanks,Keith.
I need to export some Database data into a text file. My Query looks like this:
SELECT Category1, Category2, Category3 FROM dbo.tbl1 WHERE Category1 = 'JP-4' AND Category2> 4;
This works fine to get the data, however there is some html formatting in the table entries such as
`<p>,</p>, ,</br>` etc.
So ideally I need to remove those when exporting the data to the text file. I've tried to do it with a simple replace query but that didn't work. I've also got an issue with line splits and would need to remove the ( ).
The Data format is something like this:
Category1: JP-4 Category2: 4 Category3:<p>Neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor</p> <p>amet, consectetur, adipisci velit</p> Category4:<p>Neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor</p>
I got it to work like this with the replace function:
SELECT REPLACE(REPLACE("PHOTOGRAPHS",'<p>',''),'</p>','') FROM dbo.khia_tbl WHERE Category1= 'JP-4' AND Category2> 4;
But the issue is that I've got 15 columns in total and that I need to do it for several different tags for each column so , </br>,
as well as "" and different spaces so that would be a lot and I thought there must be a better/more efficient way of doing it...
I have a column of phone numbers that have formatting such as (xxx)xxx-xxxx, or xxx.xxx.xxxx or xxx.xxx-xxxx; however, not all phone numbers are formatted in this fashion. I need to remove all characters and only leave behind numeric digits to look like xxxxxxxxxx. I have tried select replace(colname,'-','') from table. This does the trick but does not actually change the values in the column. Any help in accomplishing this would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
I need creating date of birth using ID number the ouput that im looking is a follows
e.g. RSA ID: 800101 (80 is year, 01 is month and 01 is day) that will be 1980 01 01 e.g. RSA ID: 000101 (00 is year, 01 is month and 01 is day) that will be 2000 01 01
The desired format I need is to take the above and create date of birth with the below format as required by the application used.
SQL query: I am importing data from one source to another. The phone number has 3 variations and I want to standardize the information. I need to remove the "+1" or "1" from the leading characters of the phone number.
I am trying to get my SQL create table to work for my phone number formatting and it is not. When I create the below code, the default is set to 3 numbers only.
CREATE SET TABLE dl_qpt_cqe.contacts, NO FALLBACK ,NO BEFORE JOURNAL,NO AFTER JOURNAL
I know this is very simple, and I've done it before, but now I can't remember how to do it and I keep failing to do it correctly. I want to format a 6 digit number like this: 00-00-00. The number is returned from the database as 6 digits, and I just want to add the dashes.
I tried putting ##-##-## in the Format cell in the properties of the textbox (which I thought worked before) but it's not doing the trick. What am I doing wrong here?
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 am currently developing a report for users who insist on exporting to Excel 2007. When I export to Excel on my PC, the report formatting is fine (I am using Excel 2003), however, font sizing as applied in the report is lost when exported to Excel 2007 (i.e. font size 9 in the report is actually 10 in excel 2007). In Excel 2007, the data which runs onto two lines does not show up correctly - the second line is squashed below the first.
i am trying to build a database that contains a coloumn of phone number but i reallly dont know where and how i will be able to give a specific format for phone numbers.. or anything else any common type of information that may have a format..

I am executing my query and writing it to an excel sheet by choosing "query" results to an excel sheet. It does not format them well. I have trimmed my fields too. There are about 10 fields in the database and I need to show them in the excel file all the ten fields adjacent to one another. Is there anyway I can format them other than the programming aspect.
Ok. I've been messing around with exporting data to excel using an Excel Destination. I keep having formatting problems specifically with dates, numbers and text (if the text looks like a number). I am exporting to a range.
1) If set the FirstRowHasColumnNames to true, format the appropriate cells in the header, and the range is set to the row of column headers only, the formatting does not apply.
2) If set the FirstRowHasColumnNames to true,include a blank row after the header, format the appropriate cells in the that row and set the range to both rows, the formatting does apply but I get a blank row after the header line.
3) If set the FirstRowHasColumnNames to false, format the appropriate cells in the first row, and set the range to that row, the formatting does not apply.
I cannot use VBA or install excel on the server and manipulate it via VBA.
Is there any way to delete the row via a query using OLEDB? I seem to have read you can blank out a line but not delete a row using this method.
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.
Hi All I have seen several posts on this issue but as yet no answer. So i'm hoping that somewhere out there knows what the issue is.
SSIS package queries database creates MS spreadsheets per customer and then emails each customer their list. Anyway all works fine apart from the fact that the Excel Destination Editor converts the date from uk to us format. My routine is already using an MS Excel template (correctly formatted) which it copies as part of the package. Any ideas anyone?
