I am new to Sql Server and all the DBA stuff. My boss wants me to export a folder containing excel sheet data to sql server table . To be more precise , he wants to automate the DTS process where instead of exporting each and individual worksheet to the DB , he wants me to maintain a separate folder of these sheets and export that folder.
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.
Hi, I have a windows form in visual studio and am trying to export a table from the local sql database into a excel worlbook. I followed this example: (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307029/en-us) that uses the example northwind mdb database and it worked ,but when I try to change the connection string I get an error "Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done."
Could anyone let me know the correct way to go about this. My ultimate aim is to export a report.
Scenario : SQL table has 2 columns SQ1, SQ2 Excel sheet has three columns : EX1, EX2, EX3
SQ1 matches with EX2 SQ2 matches with EX3
I would like to insert the rows where EX1='X'. EX1 is the left most column in th Excel sheet.
Here's what I am trying. Could you suggest any changes/suggestions?

I would like to create a stored procedure that opens a data connection for an excel file that I have saved. I would then like to export the excel data into an existing SQL table. Can anyone tell me the best way to go about this?
Error = [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.
This is on a single machine running Widows XP Home.
I export one table to Excel using Export Wizard. Second time I have used this creator I have checked option "Delete rows in destination table" because table already exists in Excel file.
During execution I get an error:
"Error 0xc002f210: Preparation SQL Task: Executing the query "DELETE FROM 'MyTable'" failed with following error: " and here is my translation from my language: "Deleting data from linked table is not supported by this version of ISAM"
I have also saved this package to a file and here is the full connection string to my Excel file:
Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:Documents and SettingsprzemekPulpitmyfile.xls;Extended Properties="EXCEL 8.0;HDR=YES";
Few days ago I have been using SQL2000 on the same machine and the same export was working properly.
I'm trying to write an SSIS package that exports a table that has changing column names to an excel file. The column names change due to the fact that the table is created by a pivot daily. the only thing I'm missing is the ability to dynamically map the tables' columns to the excel destination. Is this possible?
I read in another thread that "It is not possible to create packages or new objects within packages using SSIS." I also read in the books online that "The input and the input columns of the Excel destination have no custom properties." To me this means that I cannot programmatically create or remove columns in the excel destination. Please tell me I'm wrong. So, to summarize my research so far. In writing an SSIS package, I cannot programmatically create a new excel destination object and I can't manipulate an existing one. I hope I'm wrong. Can anyone help me? (and please correct any wrong assumptions I may have stated)
Question pls. I have an MS SQL local package where it exports data from SQL table to Excel file. My question is, how can erase all the records in my excel file before i export the new data from SQL table?
What i want is to delete the rows in the destination file before inserting new records.
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?
Hi Everyone.. I am a complete novice to SQL Server 2005. I have the express version installed and have a database on it.
I have to start new work and need to see what locations for data I already have before designing new columns. I would like to see a single excel worksheet with all of the tables with all of the columns and their datatype and length.
I have managed to add the DTS wizard as a tool and saved the routine. However, I do not know how to schedule my PC to automatically run this DTS procedure. I have tried to use scheduled tasks, but it does not seem to want to start.
The basic question What is the best way to export data from an excel spreadsheet into a sql server table? My Application Getting data indicating hours worked from employee timesheets into a centralised DB, then running analysis reports on it. The columns and datatypes in the excel sheet are as follows: Week (int) | EmployeeID (int) | JobNum (int) | ActivityNum (int) | Hours (int)
There will be a new excel file each week that, once the employee has filled out the data, would need to be saved and exported to the sql table. The columns in the sql table are exactly the same as the excel table with the addition of a RecordID primary key column.
Can I create a macro button that they can push when they have completed their timesheet OR would it be better to tell the employees to save copies of their timesheets in a certain folder on the company network and then run a batch on all the files in the folder at the end of the day?
Or is there another more efficient solution? Would I use SSIS for this or something else?
I've never used SSIS before and am a newbie at SQL Server too.
I thought this should be easy... but, so far it has not been. I want to export data from SQL Server using a query to an Excel spreadsheet. I'm using SQL Server ODBC for the source connection and a Connection To Excel as my destination source. The spreadsheet exists and has the first row with column names. My mappings and query work fine. I don't have any warnings before trying to execute. BUT it will not insert the data into the spreadsheet. Here are the errors I'm getting: [Destination - TEST$ [28]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21. [Destination - TEST$ [28]] Error: Cannot create an OLE DB accessor. Verify that the column metadata is valid. [DTS.Pipeline] Error: component "Destination - TEST$" (28) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC0202025.
TEST$ is the sheet that I am trying to add the data to and I'm using Excel 2003.
My query is simple: SELECT OrderDate AS Date, VendorName AS Vendor, Item AS Product, TotalCost AS Amount FROM osv_Ordercaldwecs319 All fields have been converted to varchar although I started with not trying to convert them so I have tried both ways.
What is causing the errors? Where can I look to find the problem? I'm guessing it's a data conversion problem but I made everything varchar and no formating on the spreadsheet (although I've tried that as well)
I need to export data, from within a MSSql stored procedure to excel. Right now we use DTS, but its cumbersome and the users always screw it up.
I would usually just send the tabel to a .csv fiel and pick it up in excel, but I have a field that has preceding zeros and excel truncates them and uses a general fromat.
I created a report using visual studio 2005. Everything works fine except when users export it to excel. I have a column (ID) that links the user to different reports depending on what type of ID it is. I'm using the "Jump to Report" option and have created a custom function. When they export the report to an excel spreadsheet and click on the link, it's using localhost instead of the report server name. Is there an easy way to fix this instead of updating each cell with the report server? Thanks.

Hi, I am new to ASP.net. I have worked on a VB.net code to export data from sql server to excel. The code is simple and works well.

I have created a linked server using my local SQL2005. The linked server can be seen as a linked server, but the database can not been expanded to see the tables, stored procedures, views, and other details regarding the linked server. The only method that I have found that will allow me to see all the details is to use XP's Remote Desktop Connection to access the database. Has anyone else experienced this problem, if so, how did you resolve it?
I have came across a table in SQL server 2000 which named 'Order Details' in the sample 'Northwind' database which is available with the product. Am using the eval version . Generally no table name exist with a 'space' between the words. But the table 'Order Details' exist in the Northwind sample database.
Due to the naming convention i can't run sql queries on that. Is anyone aware of this type of issues.
The trouble I am having is that I have a drilldown report that exports the detail to Excel, but I want the summary exported to Excel.
I perform the following steps but get wrong results. Please help me identify the correct steps for the correct results. Thanks you.
1) Select Matrix. 2) Right click, select Properties. 3) Select tab Groups. 4) Select item in Columns list, click Edit. 5) Select tab Visibility. 6) Select Initial visibility: Hidden, and click okay to the Grouping and Sorting dialog box.
Now I can export summary to Excel okay, but now I can not expand the summary in the report itself, so I do the following:
7) Do one through six above (but do not close dialog box), then click visibility can be toggled by another report item. 8) Select the report item in the Report Item drop down list.
Now the report functions normally in the Reporting Services report web page, but when I export on the summary level, again it exports the detail to Excel, but what I want it to export is the summary.
We have equipment table which stores Equipment_ID,Code,Parent_Id etc..for each Equipment_ID there is a Parent_Id. The PK is Equipment_ID Now i want to select the Code for the Parent_Id which also sits in the same table. All the Parent_Id's also are Equipment_ID's.
Ive installed and imported a db into SQL2005 Express. I now need to export the db to an excel file but I cannot find the import/export feature. Ive tried navigating to the db within the SMSE inteface and right clicking but there is no options available to carry out the task.
Does any one know how to name the tabs in reporting services when you export the date to excel. example I want sheet1 to be Summary. Can this be done in rporting services?
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
I have 5 subreports, where each is wrapped in its own rectangle, in one report. The report renders successfully. However, when I try to export the results to Excel, I receive the following error
An error occurred during local report processing. An error occurred during rendering of the report. An error occurred during rendering of the report. Item has already been added. Ket in dictionary: '_41_201' Key being added: '_41_201'
Any ideas?
The reports defined in the subreports contain drill through links to each other. These reports were originally designed to be drill through reports. However, my user will like to export them into one workbook.
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.
