Extract Pieces Of Data From Excel
Nov 17, 2007
In Integration Services I am trying to extract pieces of information from Excel. I would like to select just information from one cell but when I do that I get an error. What I'm typing in is:
SELECT *, Now() FROM [Sheet1$A1]
Here is the error:
------------------------------
Error at Data Flow Task [Excel Source [170]]: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft JET Database Engine" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find the object 'Sheet1$A1'. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly.".
Error at Data Flow Task [Excel Source [170]]: Unable to retrieve column information from the data source. Make sure your target table in the database is available.
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Exception from HRESULT: 0xC020204A (Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSPipelineWrap)
------------------------------
The only way that I can get the contents of one cell is if I type in a range and indicate in the Connection Manager that the first row has column names. Given that, to get the contents of A2 I am having to type in:
SELECT * , Now() FROM [Sheet1$A1:A2]
This gets me what I want but by using this method I am never able to get information in Row 1. That could pose a problem in the future and I'm sure that there is a better way to do it.
So my question is, how can I get something from a single cell without having to name a range?
Two other questions I have are: 1. Is there a way to get information in one statement from cells that aren't adjacent to one another. For instance, if I wanted the contents of just A2 and C4?; 2. Is there a way that you could select a named range from Excel? That would be good because then I could have Excel control the range and then just call that.
I know this is a lot but I have an impending project where I'll need to do much of this and I have only ever imported the contents of an entire sheet and not specific cells from a worksheet.
Thanks.

Hello everyone !
I want to perform Full Text Search with SQL Server 2000. My documents (.doc, .xls, .txt, .pdf) are stored in a SQL Server field which is binary (the type of the column is image).
I would like to know, how you can extract pieces of text from the documents.
Example:
I have a ASPX page with codebehind in C# making the search in a table in SQL server that is full text indexed.
I make a search looking for the word "peace", than SQL server will take care about the search and return it to me the rows that match with that. But also I'd like to extract the 50 characters before and after where sql server found the word "peace" to show in the result page.
Does anyone has any idea how to work around it ?
Best regards.

Hi All,
I want to export data from SQL Server2005 to an Excel spreadsheet thru "Data Flow Task". I am using OLE DB for SQL Server for the source connection and a Connection To Excel as my destination source. The Excel spreadsheet (2003) exists and has the first row with column names. I don't have any warnings before trying to execute.
The SQL datable fileds are
i) ID - Int
ii) RefID
iii) txtRemarks - nvarchar(MAX)
iv) ddlWaterLevel - nvarchar(50)
While executing the tasks, I got the error
Error: 0xC0202025 at Data Flow Task, Excel Destination [427]: Cannot create an OLE DB accessor. Verify that the column metadata is valid.
Error: 0xC004701A at Data Flow Task, DTS.Pipeline: component "Excel Destination" (427) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC0202025.
After analysing I found in the DataFlow --> Excel destination --> Advanced Editor for Excel Destination, the default data type for txtRemarks shows as "Unicode string [DT_WSTR]". But this is supposed to be "Unicode text stream [DT_NTEXT]". Even if I change the data type in the design time, It doesn't accept.
Please do help me out.
thanks

Hi,
I have just started learning SSIS. Could someone please tell me if where can I find step by step instructions on how to simply extract data from two excel files and populate the relevant table. What I simply want to do is:
Excel File 1 (With Columns FirstName, DateJoined)

->Add these three columns to a new table called CustSummary
Any thoughts and suggestions will be really appreciated.

Hello all,
I am in the process up testing an upgrade from XP to Vista, and the only thing that I am running into is that my linked servers for Excel that I defined no longer work.
The spreadsheet that I am trying to open is in the 97-2003 format (not the 2007 format), yet I keep getting the same error message "Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "TEST1"
Has anyone successfully created a linked server to an Excel spreadsheet on Vista, and if so, please can you provide some insight into what I am doing wrong.
I tried creating a linked server on an XP box running MS Office 2007, and it worked without any issues.
All comments welcome.
thanks
Steve

Why does it take me 4 hours to set up an SSIS package that I can run from a SQL job to extract data from a SQL database to and Excel workbook. Shouldn't this be easy to do with 2 Microsoft products? Writing the query to extract the data takes 10 minutes, the rest of this process should take less than that.
I should be able to create a new job that runs my query (I can actually do that) and saves the data to an Excel workbook. Why can't I do that?

The columns in my excel source contain data of different types with the column name being a string and the data in those columns being integers. Is there any way to only extract numeric data , in short I want column names to be omitted. Also the data is distributed unevenly , beggining at various rows in each column.
Thanking in advance :)

The tables:
TBLPROVIDERS holds the info on game providers
TBLGAMES holds information on the main game
TBLGAMESFORMAT holds information on the various formats the games exist in.
I have a simple view to list the PROVIDERNAME and TITLE of all our current downloadable games (which are FORMATID = 1). What I need to add is an additional column that shows the value 'web' if that GAMEID also has an entry in the TBLGAMESFORMAT table with a FORMATID = 2.
SELECT dbo.TBLPROVIDERS.PROVIDERNAME, dbo.TBLGAMES.TITLE
FROM dbo.TBLGAMESFORMAT INNER JOIN
dbo.TBLGAMES ON dbo.TBLGAMESFORMAT.GAMEID = dbo.TBLGAMES.GAMEID INNER JOIN
dbo.TBLPROVIDERS ON dbo.TBLGAMESFORMAT.GFDEVELOPER = dbo.TBLPROVIDERS.PROVIDERID
WHERE (dbo.TBLGAMESFORMAT.FORMATID = 1)
Is there anyone out there that has a simple solution?
Thanks,
Doug

I need to get some data from an enormous, creaky old SQL 6.5 database.I know nothing about either the data schema (though I believe some sortof documentation exists), nor 6.5 for that matter, having come to SQLServer at 7.0.My clients need the data in comma delimited format.Please, can anyone suggest any possibilities? One thing that occurredto me might be to create an Access application, use an ODBC link to theSQL DB, and then leverage Access' not inconsiderable functionality toget the data out.Does anyone foresee any problems with this, or any better ways?Forever in your debt.Edward--The reading group's reading group:http://www.bookgroup.org.uk

I have the following data example,
Street
Forest Ridge Dr
Whites St
Alba Rd
I wish to achieve the following,
Street StreetSuffix
Forest Ridge Dr
Whites St
Alba Rd
I have the following code
INSERT Addr2 (AddressID, LotNo, FlatNumber, HouseNum, Street, StreetSuffix, Locality,
PostCode, [State])
SELECT LotNo, FlatNumber, HouseNum, SUBSTRING(Street, 1, (PATINDEX('% %', Street))),
LTRIM(SUBSTRING(Street, (PATINDEX('% %', Street)), 20)), Locality, PostCode, [State]
FROM Addr1
But i get the following result which is no good!
Street StreetSuffix
Forest Forest
Whites Whites
Alba Alba
What am I doing wrong in the Street & StreetSuffix Functions above?
I have this working with a cursor but I'm trying to work out a set based solution as the cursor
takes way to long to complete.
In the Cursor I'm performing the code below per row of AddressID
SET @SpaceLength = (SELECT PATINDEX('% %', @Street))
SET @Suffix = (SELECT SUBSTRING(@Street, @SpaceLength, 20))
SET @Street = (SELECT SUBSTRING(@Street, 1, @SpaceLength))

Hi, I'm hoping someone has an idea or two on this topic.
Basically I have three tables of data say tContact, tQuestion, tAnswer
tContact
-----------
ContactID
Email
Name
tQuestion
------------
QuestionID
Question
tAnswer
------------
QuestionID
ContactID
Answer
I need to extract the data for the client and they would like to see
the data with one line per contact, but showing every answer to every
question... they would like the data formatted like this:
ContactID, Email, Name, Question1Answer, Question2Answer, Question3Answer, Question4Answer, etc........
Obviously to get the data I cansimply do an outerjoin to get all
contact data then all questions, and answers that exist... but that
will obviously return tabular data with one row per each
answer... Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this using just
SQL? I can pull the data and write a function that spits it out
to text using the Stringbuilder class and some logic, but I'm thinking
this must be possible in SQL natively... any help would be more than
appreciated. Thanks in advance.

to display them in their specific fields like
NAME STAR_CHAR LENGTH ORDER
Tag 1 2 ASC

NAME STAR_CHAR LENGTH ORDER
Stuff , , DES
therefore i'm not getting the required values 2 and 3.

Hi,Anybody have an idea of copying data from tables of a database to anotherdatabase. It should be a choice to select all tables, single table orseveral tables.For them knowing Oracle it is possible to do it with 'exp', where you canchoose to script the database with or without data. So I am trying to getalike to MSSQL. The job is to unload data from a database with onestructure to another database with another structure.Thanks in advanceBest regardsTom Frank

Hello,
I have a table containing 3 columns Department Name, RiskScenario and Cost. I am trying to create a data extract that contains the top 3 Risk Scenarios (sorted by Cost) per Department.
I tried using this sql statement in MSQuery but it doesn't work. Any ideas where I'm going wrong or if there is a simpler way to do this?
Select * from (
Select DepartmentName, `Risk Scenario`, Cost, row_number() OVER (PARTITION BY DepartmentName order by Cost) rn

Hi all,
I would like some information on extracting data from an ODBC connected database. (oracle is the current master database).
I can connect to the oracle database, and view tables.
But I would like to create a job (in SQL server) that runs every hour to retrieve current data from the oracle database.
Has anyone accomplished this, or is there a tutorial about this procedure?
Any help would be appreciated....

Hi everyone. I need help extracting information from a concatenated field delimited by a '/' character. I know that the logic is to basically find the position of the '/' character and use the substring function to extract the data but I am unfamiliar with how to do this in SQL Server 2000. Please see examples below. Thanks in advance.
FIELD
----------
1234/4567
2345/6754
1234
I need to extract the data before and after the '/' character. There are records however with on the leftmost part of the data such as row number 3.
FIELD 1 FIELD 2
------------------
1234 4567
2345 6754

I have searched everywhere for an answer and seems I am either blind or there is no simple solution. Basically I have a need to report on data stored in an Exchange 2003 data store. There is mention of a OLE DB for Exchange 2000 but nothing for Exchange 2003. For example, A company report on time spent on various categories in a staff's calendar, etc. I would like to use SQl 2005 SSIS to extract and reporting services to report. Why is this so difficult? I come from a Lotus Notes / Domino background and there are numerous articles and ways to do this? Please can some MS guru please give me some direction on where to look?

Hi all,
Having some fun with an excel import.
I have a excel sheet that has data that needs to be UpSert'ed into 2
different tables. In addition, I need to use a value in the spreadsheet
to determine the PK from a reference data table, for one of the UpSert
oprations.
That is all working now.
The thing I'm struggling with is something I am sure is quite simple -
but I'm not seeing a solution from attempts, googling or BOL.
2 of the columns I receive have either nothing, or X in them. The columns they go into are defined as BIT, NOT NULL.
So, in SQL it would be something relatively simple like:
CASE
When IsAvailable = 'X' then 1
When IsAvailable is null then 1
ELSE 0
end
But I don't know how to do this to data that was in a spreadsheet, and
now is a resultset being handed from a task to another task.
to outline my current solution:
---- table 1 = this all works -------------
Excel Source --> MultiCast (For Table 1)-->Data conversion for
table1-->:Sort for Table1--> Merge Join for table 1 (left Outer
join) as 'left' leg
Table1 Source --> Sort Table1 --> Merge Join for table 1 (left Outer join) as 'right' leg
Merge Join for table 1 --> Conditional Lplit for table1
Conditional Split for table1 (table1 source PK is null) -->Insert Into Table1 Destination
Conditional Split for table1 (table1 source PK is not null) -->Update Table1 OLE DB Command
---- table 2 = this needs to be able to convert X/NULL to BIT -------------
MultiCast (For Table 2)-->Copy Column for Table2 -->Data
Conversion for Table 2-->table3 lookup to get FK-->Sort for
Table2 merge-->Merge Join for table 2 (left outer join) as 'left' leg
Table2 Source --> Sort Table2 --> Merge Join for table 2 (left outer join) as 'right' leg
Merge Join for table 2 --> Conditional split for table 2
Conditional split for table 2(table2 source PK in null) -->insert into table 2
Conditional split for table 2(table2 source PK in not null) -->update table 2 ole db command
-----------------------------------------
Now, if I correct the spreadsheet to have 0's and 1's in the two
column, then the process above works. But I cannot (yet) force business
to do that.
If tried to use SQL Command for the excel source, but there is limited
functionality on the command - I cannot do SQL coalese, isnull or case
statements, which would allow me to resolve that data at source.
I've tried to use derived columns to alter the columns. I think that
the REPLACE (IsAvailable, VariableContainingX,VariableContaining1)
might work to change X's to 1, but that doesn't resolve the NULL issue.
I've tried to use a script component to handle the conversion - which
REALLY feels like a bad way to do this - the .Net script is wrote was:
-------------.net script code-------------
Imports System
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Math
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.Wrapper
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Wrapper
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts
Public Class ScriptMain
Inherits UserComponent
Public Overrides Sub Input0_ProcessInputRow(ByVal Row As Input0Buffer)
If Not (Row.EndOfRowset) Then
If
(Row.IsDotComVanEnabled_IsNull) Or (Row.IsDotComVanEnabled.Equals("X"))
Then
Row.IsDotComVanEnabled = "1"
End If
If
(Row.IsStoreCollectionEnabled_IsNull) Or
(Row.IsStoreCollectionEnabled.Contains("X")) Then
Row.IsStoreCollectionEnabled = "1"
End If
Row.NextRow()
End If
End Sub
End Class
------------------------------------------
I also tried it like this:
----------------1st draft .Net script code--------
Imports System
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Math
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.Wrapper
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Wrapper
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts
Public Class ScriptMain
Inherits UserComponent
Public Overrides Sub Input0_ProcessInputRow(ByVal Row As Input0Buffer)
If
(Row.IsDotComVanEnabled_IsNull) Or (Row.IsDotComVanEnabled.Equals("X"))
Then
Row.IsDotComVanEnabled = "1"
End If
If
(Row.IsStoreCollectionEnabled_IsNull) Or
(Row.IsStoreCollectionEnabled.Contains("X")) Then
Row.IsStoreCollectionEnabled = "1"
End If
End Sub
End Class
-------------------------------------------------
Those both threw the following error;
-------------error information-----------------
Script Component has encountered an exception in user code:
PROJECT NAME: ScriptComponent_a333140d269b413bb1bddef390da7e16
