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

Hi,
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?
'**********************************************************************
' Visual Basic ActiveX Script
'************************************************************************
Option Explicit
Function Main()
Dim sFilename, oPkg, oConn
Dim sYear, sMonth, sDay
If Month(Now) > 10 Then sMonth = Month(Now) Else sMonth = "0" & Month(Now)
If Day(Now) > 10 Then sDay = Day(Now) Else sDay = "0" & Day(Now)
sFilename = "\servernameD$Daily ReportsFlagcodes " & sDay & sMonth & Year(Now) & ".xls"
Set oPkg = DTSGlobalVariables.Parent
Set oConn = oPkg.Connections(2)
oConn.DataSource = sFileName
Set oConn = Nothing
Set oPkg = Nothing
Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success
End Function
Thanks for your help

I am curious what the "best practice" is for exporting data programmaticly from SQL Server to Excel. Is it best to do it straight from SQL Server, or should I do it with in my C# code? My program is going to pull the data, put in the excel file, then email the file. So I could write an SP that gets the data and puts it in the file, then have the C# code run the SP and email the file; Or I could have the code do everything, pull the data, export it & email it.
If it is considered better to have the SP do it, why and what is the best way? ROWSET functions?

I am using Office 2007 beta. I have a SSIS package that exports the records from sql server to excel file, when number of records is less than 24000 then it exports well, but if number of records is greater than 24000 than it does not export anything to excel file.
But when I give administrative privilages to the service account under which the SSIS package is running, it export even more than 24000.
On prod server giving administrative privilages to service account is not a good option. I don't know what are the minimum permissions it needs while exporting more data into excel 2007 file.
I thought this is the problem in office 2007 beta, but same behaviour is with RTM also.
Thanks in advance.

I have problems when exporting data into Excel file from SSIS. It all works fine with numeric columns but an apostrophe is attached at the beginning of each text cell. I tried using derived columns and data conversions but it didn't work. It seems to me that problem is in 'excel destination' task... I saw many people had this kind of problems too... Is there any solution possible?
Thanks.

I am getting an error: "Damage to the file was so extensive that repairs were
not possible. Excel attemted to recover your formulas and values, but
some data may have been lost or corrupted." in some instances when
exporting toexcel.
The report is no different than any othere report. This report uses rectagles and text boxes to control layout with two tables but it's pretty straight forward. This only happens for this particular report when exported only to Excel. I am using SQL2005 SP1.
Any ideas, thoughts, or references are welcome.

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)

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

Hi,
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.

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

I have the Excel Connection Manager and Source to read the contents from an Excel file. For some reason couple of numeric fields from the Excel worksheet are brought over as nulls even though they have a value of 300 and 150. I am not sure why this is happening. I looked into the format of the fields and they are set to General in Excel, I tried setting them to numeric and that did not help.
All the other content from the excel file is coming thru except for the 2 numeric fields.
I tried to bring the contents from the excel source to a text file in csv format and for some reason the 2 numeric fields came out as blank.
Any inputs on getting this addressed will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Manisha

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.

I am having some problems exporting to Excel using SQL 7.
I have a DTS package which runs a query that returns one value and pumps the data to an Excel spreadsheet. Everything is working except the data is not populating the correct cell in the spreadsheet. How can I control which cell SQL pumps the data to?

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.

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?"

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?
Thanks,
Steve

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!!!

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
