To overcome the inability to manage the sheet tab names when exporting from Reporting Services to Excel, is there anyway to include a short macro with the exported Excel workbook to Auto_Run macro when the Excel file is opened to rename the tabs?
I'm using DTS to export a table. I need each record to be on a separate line, but I have a description field that is quite lengthy so it's not fitting on one line. Can someone advise how to accomplish each record being on only one line? :)
i am using sql server 2000. I have a DTS which generates data and exports it to msexcel template file. The file is then FTP to web server. how can i make sure that if records are more than 65535, it will copy rest of data to another sheet. i know we need to use page breaks for this but dont know how to implement it in sql server 2000.
I'm exporting reports daily to a file share and I need to rename the reports with a pseudo time stamp.
Example: I have a report named "Disk Usage" and when I export (using a data-driven subscription) I want to rename it "Disk Usage - (Jan07)" - or something to that effect.
Currently have a single hard coded file path to the SSRS config file which parses the file and provides the reporting services web service url. Â My question is how would i run this same query against 100s of servers that may or may not share the same file path as the one hard coded ?
Is there a way to query the registry to find the location of the config file of any server ? which could be on D, E, F, H, etc.Â
I know I can string together the address followed by "reports" and named instance if needed, but some instances may not have used the default virtual directory name (Reports).
Am I going about this the hard way ? Is there a location where the web service url exists in a table ? I could not locate anything in the Reporting service database. Basically need to inventory all of my reporting services url's.
I am trying to create a package in BIDS that reads data from a table and exports it into a flat file (.csv). The file needs to have a row for the header and a row representing the column names as well as the data rows. My problem is: 1.I need to add a value in the header row that is a count of all the data rows. 2. I need to add the year and period based on the year and period in the data rows. (the year and period will always be the same in the data rows)
below is an example of what I want the file to look like (it is a delimited file)
1;Varese;O027200702ACT;F1_V4;BATCH;2326;test company CUSTOMER_ID;BU_ID;YEAR_ID;PERIOD_ID;ACTIVITY_ID;SCENARIO_ID;ACCOUNT_ID;DATA_UNIT_ID;DATA_VALUE 000001;ZA01000001;2007;2;01;1;70;ZAR;.04 000001;ZA01000001;2007;2;01;1;912;ZAR;6080374 000001;ZA01000001;2007;2;01;1;941;ZAR;-.16
The value in bold represent the values that i want dynamically updated...
200702 represents a concatenation of the year and period
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
Hi, I have 2 very similar copies of a report. The only difference between them is that they point to different datasources. The report is fairly simple and contains a table with a group header and a detail row. Report A exports fine, however Report B does not export the values of the header row. I've tried a variety of output options to try to get the value in the export file, but all I get is textbox1, textbox2, etc. Does anyone have any ideas on what else I can check? This one report is the only one that is giving me trouble! Thanks in advance!!
1. I am attempting to export data from a SQL DB (single table using a query) to a "flat file". 2. I would then like to take this "flat file" and import the data into a different SQL DB (same schema structure as first DB).
I have a request from a vendor to export data out of my SQL Server 2K database view to a 'flat fixed file'.
What kind of file is this exactly, not a .csv ? Does EM have the capabilities through the DTS wizard, by choosing the output to a text file and fixed width ?
I am trying to find a convenient way to export parts of tables to text files.
One way I see is BCP: Is there a way to avoid writing the command and options into the command prompt by hand? I.e. a way to write the commands into a text file and then to execute them?
Are there other ways? I`d like to find a way that a user who uses a web interface can use.
Is there a way to send the text files via mail to a remote user?
I have a record set I have to export on a weekly basis into a CSV file for a customer/client. One of the fields being included in the export is a TEXT field. When I export this field, the CSV file is truncating the record significantly.
Is there a way I can get the export to pass all the data in the TEXT field, or is this a limitation on the data transformation, or is it a limitation on the CSV file (because of the size/nature of the TEXT field).
Reading through the forums, I found some great imformation for importing/exporting an excel spreadsheet via a stored procedure, however, the amount of data I have won't fit in excel. Can someone help me export a CSV file via a stored procedure? I don't know if XML is the answer or if there is another way. I am able to use Bulk for an insert of a csv via stored procudure, although it doesn't allow me to use a variable for the file name and pass it in. We are currently using SQL Server 2000.
I am trying to setup ssis data flow package to export a smalldatetime field to just date only. I have changed the dattype to datbase date [DT_DBDATE] AND ALSO [DT_DATE] but it still exports datetime format. What is the best and easiest way to setup flat file connection manager to only export date and not the time. Do I have to add another setup to convert to date only?
I'm trying, through the SQL 2005 Mgt Studio, to export a simple table in a delimited format. I'm selecting a double quote as the text qualifier. My expectations were that only text type fields would be exported with the double quotes an numerical fields would not have any quotes around them. SQL 2000 does this just fine, but 2005 is exporting all my text type and numeric fields with double quotes. Is this a change to SQL 2005 or am I doing something wrong.

I have a need to export all of the stored procedures in a database to files on the server dirve. I know that this can be done through the management interface but I need a way to do it programatically. I need to have a script or stored proc that dumps all of the procedures to a defined location on disk. Does anyone know how this can be done?

I used two symbols (”¬€¬ and ”´) in my reporting services page and they appear fine in Internet Explorer. However, when I try to export the page to a PDF file, they appear as question marks.
Can someone tell me why or how to work around this?
Having trouble getting this to work. Been using a bunch of code from sites (including this one), but just can't get what I want. It seems so simple, but just can't get it.
So, instead of showing what I have, I'd rather see what someone usually uses.
I'm using Windows Auth, am going to use a 'SELECT * FROM DB.dbo.Table', and I want overwrite the outputed file each time it runs. And if the file doesn't exist - create it. I would also like it to be TAB delimited, and use quoted identifiers (""). And nulls will output as null (will be imported to another SQL Server by means I don't know of - and can't find out). They'll need to come back in as Null on the other side.
I am using a DTS package to extract data from a table and export it to an excel file. This task needs to run on a weekly basis and the filename should contain the date the file was created. I have sucessfully used the activex scropt below to rename .txt files but when I try to use it for Excel files it always defaults to the default filename I specified in the destination file properties. Can anyone show me how to do this for Excel files?
TRANSFORM Avg(SAP_CALD.[CASE_DAYS]) AS AvgOfCASE_DAYS SELECT SAP_CALD.[OPN_YEAR], SAP_CALD.[CLD_MONTH], Avg(SAP_CALD.[CASE_DAYS]) AS [Total Of CASE_DAYS] FROM SAP_CALD GROUP BY SAP_CALD.[OPN_YEAR], SAP_CALD.[CLD_MONTH] PIVOT SAP_CALD.[Model];
which works fine. I want to look at the query SAP_CALD and disclude any record in the field 'department' that has a record of any {DPSG, System, Dealer, DealerIT, Inbound}..I can do this by piggybacking a another query that removes these but wondered if it would be easier to exclude them in the crosstab code.
I have been trying to solve this problem for the last 2 days but no luck.
Here is the problem that I am facing.
The task on had is to transfer data from a single table (the source) to multiple files (Destination) based on the record type.
I have tried changing the Datasource property of the Text File Connection object dynamically by using an ActiveX Script. But the data is still being written only to one file.
I need to export data from multiple tables into one single file. The big problem here is that the tables will have different column types.
I am attempting to create something that allows users to be able to send me the contents of their tables's, through either email or ftp. I would prefer to make it easier for them so they only have to deal with one file, instead of the multiple files that bcp and dts create when exporting from multiple tables.
I was thinking of using DTS or BCP and then join (append) the files (either zip them or append the files together in some fashion), but I was hoping that there was an easier method out there.
Any ideas on how I may accomplish this would be greatly appreciated.
