can anyone help on this? I have the created to read in excel file data. I used the Excel source task and configured it. I configured the task to read in a file call transaction.xls and there is only 1 sheet in the workbook called transaction as well. When I configured the connection manager, I can see the data preview. And I saved it. When I execute it, it gave me the error below. Really have no idea what caused the problem. for additional info, we do not have the microsoft office installed in this server, only ms sql. Do I need to install the ms office in the server in order to have this work?

l've some excel files controlled by Vendor which changing frequently. The only thing does not change is the header name of each column.
So my question is, is there any way to create a new table based on the excel file selected including the column name in SSIS? So that l can use the data reader as source to select those columns l am interested on and start the integration.
i want to import data from an excel sheet into a database. While reading from the excel sheet OleDb automatically guesses the Datatype of each column. My Problem is the first A Column which contains ~240 Lines. 210 Lines are Numbers, the latter 30 do contain strings. When i use this code:
Code BlockDim sConn As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & conf_path_current & file_to_import & ";Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=NO""" Dim oConn As New OleDb.OleDbConnection(sConn) Dim cmd1 As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand("Select * From [Table$]", oConn) Dim rdr As OleDb.OleDbDataReader = cmd1.ExecuteReader Do While rdr.Read() Console.WriteLine(rdr.Item(0)) 'or rdr(0).ToString Next
it will continue to read the stuff till the String-Lines are coming. when using Item(0), it just crashes for trying to convert a DBNull to a String, when using rdr(0).ToString() it just gives me no value.
So my question is how to tell OleDB that i want that column to be completly read as String/Varchar?
Thanks for Reading

I am trying to import data from an excel Sheet to SQL Database using OPENROWSET. After import I found that all the cells containing data of more than 2000 length got truncated to 255 characters only. I tried finding the solution and found that We need to have the data with length more than 255 in first 8 rows of Excel sheet. It worked for me also. But In real scenario the data that I cant do the manual work on excel. I tried out with Dot Net utility and SSIS package also but the truncation is still the issue.
INSERT into tmp_Test SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0','Excel 12.0;Database=D:Book1.xlsx', [Sheet1$])
Hi, I'm building a web application in VB.NET 1.1 where users will upload Excel files at this webpage and the web application will transfer the data from the uploaded Excel file into MS SQL 2000. There are around 600-700 records and about 56 columns in the Excel file which is to be uploaded daily. There will be a few different files which I need to implement for as well. I've sourced for and tried alot of methods. But either they can't satisfy my requirements or they just can't simply work. - Most simple and direct way I've tried is creating a oledb connection to the Excel file in the following codes... Function TestUploadData1(ByVal vFile As String) As String Dim Oleda As System.Data.OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter Dim Olecn As System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection Dim dt1 As DataTable Olecn = New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection( _ "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _ "Data Source=" & vFile & ";" & _ "Extended Properties=Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes") Olecn.Open() Dim ExcelCommand As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand("SELECT INTO [ODBC;Driver={SQL Server};Server=(local);Database=dbSSC;Trusted_Conn ection=yes].[tblOutstanding] FROM [Report$];", Olecn) ExcelCommand.ExecuteNonQuery() Olecn.Close() End Function But from the above codes I kept getting the error "Could not find installable ISAM." at the line Olecn.Open(). I've tried to set the registry to C:WindowsSystem32msexcl40.dll but to no avail... - I've tried another method using the OpenRowSet in the following codes Function TestUploadData2(ByVal vFile As String) As String Dim cn As SqlConnection Dim cm As SqlCommand Dim strSQL As String cn = New SqlConnection("server=localhost; user ID=accessSSC; password=accessSSC541; database=dbSSC") cn.Open() strSQL = "INSERT INTO tblOutstanding SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Excel 8.0;Database=" & vFile & ";HDR=Yes','SELECT * FROM [Report$]')" cm = New SqlCommand(strSQL, cn) cm.ExecuteNonQuery() cn.Close() End Function For the above codes, I kept getting the error "Ad hoc access to OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' has been denied. You must access this provider through a linked server." at the line cm.ExecuteNonQuery() and I've tried to disable the Ad Hoc settings in the registry and tried to create a link server but to no avail as well... - I've tried DTS but I'd need to DTS package to run whenever the users upload a file. Is there an easy way that I can run the designated DTS package to run through my .Net web application? Any help would be deeply appreciated. Thanks & Regards, Keith Chang

Hi! I'm trying to import data from an excel file into a sql table.I'm using MS SQL.For import,I use openrowset.The SQL command looks like this(in my asp page):
SQLstr = "SELECT * INTO dbo.shopping_TSR FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Excel 8.0;Database="+Server.MapPath("\fileuploader\upload\tmb2.xls")+"', 'SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]')"

What could be the cause of this error? The .xls file and the sql table are on differen t servers.
I have an Excel spreadsheet that I am loading data from and I want to prevent SSIS from making assumptions about the data contained within the spreadsheed and to just treat every column as a string (i.e. Unicode string [DT_WSTR]). How is this done?
I know I could do a conversion once the data is loaded, but I am wondering if there is a way to specify this in the Excel Source settings without having to add a Data Conversion task to the Data Flow.
I'm importing a multi tab spreadsheet using Import wizard, which I understand to use the same internals as SSIS. The total number of columns in the spread sheet will be over 500. The import wizard defaults everything to varchar 255. I understand there is an XML file I can manipulate to change this and they are located

I need to import data from excel file to SQLserver. What is the best way to do this? Please give as much explanations as possible (code example would be very-very helpful).
I want to import data from an excel sheet to SqlServer.... I use a linked server... I execute the following code:
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver 'ExcelSource', 'Jet 4.0', 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'c:MyExcel.xls',NULL, 'Excel 5.0' GO
sp_addlinkedsrvlogin N'ExcelSource', false, sa, N'ADMIN', NULL GO
SELECT * FROM ExcelSource...Sheet1$ GO
and I get the error:
Server: Msg 7314, Level 16, State 1, Line 2 OLE DB provider 'ExcelSource' does not contain table 'Sheet1$'. The table either does not exist or the current user does not have permissions on that table. OLE DB error trace [Non-interface error: OLE DB provider does not contain the table: ProviderName='ExcelSource', TableName='Sheet1$'].
When I execute the command:
select * from OpenRowset('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Excel 8.0;Database=c:ook1.xls',Sheet1$)
I am looking for a way to import data from a CSV or Excel spread sheet and add the data directly into an Extended field instead of a regular field in the table. for example: let's say I have a comma delimited field with the following info:
NDC_M_FORMULARY,CUSTOM_EXTSIG,Custom EXT SIG NDC_M_FORMULARY,DRUG_CODE,Alternate key, user defined NDC_M_FORMULARY,CHARGE_CODE,From the Charge code table
The first column is the table name Second Column is the Column name in the table The third column contains the description that I would like to store in the Value in the Extended Property Name "MS_Description"
BTW,I did find the following T-SQL which returns the Extended description for a specific Extended Property
Here it is:
SELECT [Table Name] = i_s.TABLE_NAME, [Column Name] = i_s.COLUMN_NAME, [Description] = s.value FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS i_s LEFT OUTER JOIN
I am attempting to import an excel sheet to SQL and keep coming up with the following error:
Error during transformation ... row number 29 TransformCopy conversion error: Destination does not allow null Source column 'ProductID' (DBTYPE_R8), Destination column 'ProductID' (DBTYPE_STR)
When I look at row 29, the ProductID is '1240000A' and not NULL. All prior ProductID's had no Alpha characters ans appeared as 7 digits eg. '1240000'. I Previewed the data before the transformation and for some reason the ProductID '1240000A' appears as NULL, even though the Excel Sheet has the value '1240000A' entered. Help would be appreciated. Thanks.
I am very new to the entire world SQL Server databases. I am starting from scratch.
Currently I have a little Website I am doing for myself that is .asp based and will allow users to query some sports boxscores. I hope to create a user interface that will allow folks to seperate team results based on certain criteria...
It is just a hobby of mine that I have been doing for year with excel and now hope to let others like me do it aswell.
here is what I got.
MSSQL 2005 Server with a database. Iam using SQL 2005 Server Express Studio. Therefore, do not have access to SSIS or DTS or anything like that.
However, I want to import several hundred records into a db I created (hosted by Crystal tech). Since, I don't have access to the Server root directory, I can't use the BULK INSERT statement.
I am looking for a method to query an excel file (or .csv something..) that is stored on my local drive and upload it to the Server db tables.
I would like to do this either through SQL with a query. Or I would to add this VB code to the current VB that I use in my Excel file.
I am using the import Wizzard in SQL Server 2005 for the first time and trying to import some excel data into the db table.
I keep getting this error. Any ideas??

Hi, I want to import data into my sql server 2005 express database from a excel document. Roughly described I have all columns/data in a excel sheet that I will import to a table with same columns in my sql database. How do I do this in the best way because I'm sure this finctionality/possibility must be available?
Hi! I have to develop an application for transfering data from an excel file into a sql table.The excel file is uploaded to a server.The database(and the table) is on another server.At first,I used openrowset for transferring data to the table.My sql command looked like this(in my asp page):
SQLstr = "SELECT * INTO dbo.shopping_TSR FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Excel 8.0;Database="+Server.MapPath("upload/tmb2.xls")+";hdr=yes', 'SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]')"
I kept getting this error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'IDBInitialize::Initialize returned 0x80004005: The provider did not give any information about the error.]
After reading a few articles,I think the cause of my error is that the excel file is uploaded into the folder where the asp script is located.I have 2 servers : one running the asp scripts and one containing the database. Is my error generated by the fact that the excel file is on a different server than the sql server?How could I make this work?

I set up a external data connection to a reporting services report via excel but because my report is paginated it will only retrieve data for the first page. Is there a way to make the report render on 1 page only?
