Exporting Ad Hoc Queries To Excel

Feb 19, 2007

Kevin writes "Please forgive me if this is a stupid question. I am working in an environment where we are using SQL Server 2005 and Excel 2003. We have a custom .NET 2005 application which runs against the SQL Server. Users frequently create ad hoc queries in Management Studio to pluck out certain info. They would like to save the results down into an Excel spreadsheet for further analysis; However, we haven't come up with an elegant solution to save these results in Excel and keep the column headings and data types for each column. I have seen transact-sql code to do this in the past using the OPENROWSET command to write to an Excel file; However, I am not confident that this is the best way to skin this particular cat so I thought I would run it by you. So, my question is, What is the BEST way to save ad hoc query results from SQL Server to an Excel spreadsheet so that I preserve the column headings and data type of each column?"

Exporting To Excel

Jul 20, 2005

HiI am using the DTS package with SQL SERVER 2000. I have a table, and in oneof the columns are links to websites. I am trying to export this to Excel2002 SP3a typical text string stored in the table is=HYPERLINK("www.asite.com","Click")I had hoped the field would be transferred exactly as is and so would appearas a hyper link in the Excel document it creates. Unfortunateld it seems toautomatically put a ' in front of it so if I click on the cell, in the barat the top I get'=HYPERLINK("www.asite.com","Click") - Notice the apostropheso the full text is displayed in the spreadsheet (rather than the wordClick)Does anyone know of a way to get rid of the ' thats being added onthanks in advanceAndy

Exporting To Excel

Oct 23, 2007

Hi,

Sorry if this is a stupid question, RS isn't my area of expertise, a customer has asked if it was possible to export all the data in an RS report onto one Excel sheet.

She has created a report off an AS2005 cube, there are 71 pages, is there a way of increasing the number of rows per page or even putting them all on one page? Having some 30 sheets in a spreadsheet seems a little excess.

Thanks in advance
Matt

Exporting A Table To Excel

Oct 5, 2001

I'm trying to export a table from SQL7 to Excel. Only thing is that I'd like to specify the Excel spreadsheet filename at run time. The name of the spreadsheet needs to contain the current date e.g. "table1_20011005.xls", "table1_20011006.xls". Is there any way I can do this ? I've looked at DTS but it seems you need to specify the spreadsheet file name and cannot alter it.

My users have an excel sheet I'm trying to migrate to RS...by and large it's just staic data, which is GREAT for me. But the sheet has one "Total" column, where they locally enter three values then print it off. Is there a way to get a =SUM(X:X,X:X) to migrate to excel so it defaults to 0? If I put it in quotes those come over to excel, if I dont put it in quotes I cant even preview...

Suggestions?

Exporting To Excel - File Gets Too Big

Sep 25, 2007

Hi,

I have a report returning about 50000 rows, when i export this into excel it takes a few minutes and the file size is about 13MB, When i try to open up a 13mb file it is so slow...it is better for me to execute the dataset in SQL analyser and copy the results directly into excel whereby the file is 8mb and opens up also instantly...

My exported version is just data and no graphics however the page appears to be ''white'' although i set the fill in excel to transparent...maybe this is making the file hard to open...

Anybody have problems with exporting to excel and actually able to use it without running into long delays due to the file size...what can i do to fix this

thanks

Exporting To Excel Problems

Nov 5, 2007

I'm using RS2000 and I have a report that when I exported to the Excel, all the groups were automatically converted to outline format in Excel. After a year, I decided to update the report a bit and now when I export the report to Excel and it only export the top group (group1). The rest of the data doesn't even get transferred to Excel. Is there a choice in tables were you can select whether or not to export groups? I basically added more groups and mergered a few columns, but I can't pin point what's causing this to happen. Any help on this would be appreciated very much.

Thanks in advance!!!

Exporting To Excel To Print

Apr 16, 2007

Hi
I'm experiencing the following problem:
When I export my report to excel then open up the Print Preview in Excel, the table headers are not printed on each page, only on the first. I have ticked the "Repeat header rows on each page" in the table properties, but to no effect. For some reason this works for PDF but not for Excel.
Is this some kinda bug or am I doing something incorrectly? I've tried putting the report in in a table as a sub-report, but that doesn't work either.
Is there a work-around (besides putting the table header row in the page header)?
I'm really at my wits' end and quite frustrated.
Thanks in advance

Exporting To Excel From 64bit SQL Server

Nov 15, 2007

Hi,

I am currently in the process of migrating a BIS DB rom SQL 2000 to SQL 2005. This has involved migrating a whole load of DTS to SSIS. This gone, on the whole, pretty well.

However, I still have one package that doesn't work. This package exports some data to text files AND a to a couple of Excel files. However, the Excel part is not working. I get the following errors:

[Excel Destination [130]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER. The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "xls_DirectMail_CampaignFile2" failed with error code 0xC0202009.

[Connection manager "xls_DirectMail_CampaignFile2"] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040154. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft OLE DB Service Components" Hresult: 0x80040154 Description: "Class not registered".

Now, I am guessing that this is because there is no MS Office installation on the server. Would this be correct?

What would be the minimum software requirement to get this working?
Would simply installing Excel be enough?

Thanks,
Simon

Exporting To Excel Problems (URL Access)

Jul 26, 2006

Hello,
I'm using SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services. I'm having an issues when exporting to Excel. I'm using URL Access to generate the report and display it in a browser window. I then choose Excel and click the Export link. Doing this opens a temporary browser window and then a dialog that asks if I want to save the report or open it. If I choose to open it, the report opens in Excel without problem. The problem is that the temporary browser window doesn't go away (close) automatically like it should. What makes this a little more strange is that this behavior only seem to occur on a Windows XP computer. If I run the report from a Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003 computer, the temporary browser windows closes automatically (and the report is exported to Excel and opened).

Has anyone experienced this same issue?

Does anyone know how to "fix" this issue so that exporting to open right away always closes the temporary browser window?

Thanks.
