I want to be able to create an Excel report in SSIS after querying the data from a SQLSERVER table.
I have a IS package where I'm loading all the data required in the report and the final step of the IS package I would like to build the reports. I think it makes sense to take this approach instead of setting up a RSS package.
AS anyone seen any Blogs which explains such a flow?
I searched the list but did not see anything related.
I cannot open a file directly exported from RS in the Excel format. If I open the file in the Windows version and then close it, no need to even save it, I can then open it with the Mac version of Excel. The file size after closing is about 2K less so the RS program is adding something onto the file that the Mac version does not like. It will crash Excel when trying to open.
I cannot export the report as CSV as it will not correctly import into Excel on the Mac.

We have 10 sheets in Excel File and 10 sheet contains errror data. How to load 9 sheets data in to 1 destination and error data in to other destination?
I'm trying to import data which from Excel which has been "prettied up" to make it readable to users. The report has a fixed number of columns and the data itself is well structured, but there are blank lines etc.
The problem I'm having is unless the first row of the spreadsheet contains or headers, SSIS fails with error "External table is not in the expected format." and the exception below is thrown.
So I thought I'd be clever and create a template spreadsheet with the same number of columns and set the first row to strings - I made all columns DT_WSTR thinking I could extract the numeric and datetime data from the actual rows which contain data and convert using a script. But SSIS simply ignores the numeric values from the spreadsheet - all I get is String or Date values and nulls for all numeric cells?

I am creating an SSIS package witha a Dataflow task, which reads from an Excel source and then uses script component to dumpt the data to multiple tables in Sql Server database
I need to some how make my Excel source dynamic, that is my excel template which i would be using to map the excel columns to script component's input columns would be dynamic..
In other words, I should be able to define the Excel Source, Column Mapping Information, Precedence constraint to the Script component dynamically
i've got the report server setup to relay through the exchange server for delivering reports. all reports are exported to excel and emailed successfully with the exception of the largest report at about 16mb. the smtp logs on the exchange server show the report server starting a session but no "DATA" is every sent for this report and emails do not arrive. i am assuming due to the size of the report there is some timeout out issue between the smtp client and server. any ideas on how to resolve this issue? maybe a timeout setting on the exchange smtp server? i'm trying to avoid installing a local smtp server on the report server.
Hi All, I am Exporting the SSRS report into Excel in my application, But the Parameters(which acts as a filter) which are available in SSRS report is not coming in the Excel. Is there any other settings need to be done to get those filters while exporting to Excel. Please help me with this issue.Thanks in Advance. -Mahendra
I tried to export a report to excel format. I am getting the below error(Array Index out of bounds). The report is around 12 pages. Any thoughts on this?

I have an SSRS file with 2 total reports - the first is a sort of template - a matrix with about 6 varying parameters, and the second report uses the first as a subreport - ultimately, there are about 5 subreports on the second page, all using the main "template" report, with the only variance being certain parameters. The client wanted an excel file as the end result, and I decided the quickest way to populate the data they needed would be SSRS.
My problem is when I export this stuff to excel. The template report, by itself, comes out beautifully. The expand/collapse boxes on the groups are all aligned and the data just fits.
However, when I export the "combined" report, the whole thing turns to caca....
For one, subtotals are auto-magically added in for certain groups (these aren't in the main report, and they don't show render in IE, and subtotals are showing for groups where subtotals aren't even on. ) Annoying, but not major.
More importantly, the expand/collapse buttons for the matrix groupings seem to align to the top, and not the actual row of the grouping. So, if I wanted to expand the data on say, row 11, the '+' button is actually on the previous row (row 110). This is the real showstopper and just not acceptable on a usability level.
Again - the only difference between the two spreadsheets is that one is its own report, and the second one renders the same report from a subreport. On IE it looks identical. Any reason why simply using a sub would cause such drastic differences in excel appearance??
Currently, I have to manully create RS 2005 reports which I export into an Excel later. Is there a way to create a SSIS package that could automate this somehow?
In short, we have started deploying Office 2007 to our users and Excel is currently the only client we use to interact with our AS2005 cubes.
A few users have reported issues (which I've verified), but the explanation in the KB article doesn't make any sense to me. These reports were originally developed in Excel 2003 and when opening them up in Excel 2007, we'll see a message saying that Excel found unreadable content in the .xls file and after clicking 'Yes' to recover contents of the workbook, we then receive a message that a PivotTable report was discarded due to integrity problems. If I opened up this report in Excel 2003, I don't receive these errors or messages.
Per the KB's explanation (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/929766):
This issue occurs if the following conditions are true: €¢The workbook contains a PivotTable that uses key performance indicators (KPIs).€¢The KPIs are created in the Analysis Services Business Intelligence Development Studio.€¢One or more of the KPIs have an expression in the Current Time Member property. Now, we are running 2005 Standard Edition with no SP, but will be deploying SP2 in a few days. Our cubes do not have any KPIs defined. Can I even define KPIs if we are only running Standard Edition?
Hi. I need to import excel file in database. i first need to do an unpivot task. the column names are dates and SSIS seems to be unable to pick up the column name as it is replaced by F2 F3 F4etc Can you advise of a solution. thanks ken
Hello, We are running SQL2005, SP2. We are having problems with the time it takes to export reports to Excel. I am attempting to research the subject and find ways of solving the problem either by modifying the reports or make changes in the way we deliver them.
Either way my attempts at researching this at Microsoft.com and here at the forums have proven to be failures. There are many threads on the subject but with the time it takes to scroll through them all I have yet to find any that seem to relate to the specific issues we are having.
We have a report which is approximately 38 pages, sometimes less, sometimes more, in length. When attempting to export to Excel the process seems to take forever or time out. We can still close out the export attempt and return to the report, but the process of exporting to Excell seems to take forever.
Could anyone here provide me with links to pages either here at Microsoft.com, in the forums, or elsewhere where the factors involved in the exporting to Excell feature are addressed so that I can try to accomodate them as best as possible?
Thanks in advance. I will continue to try and track down the information on my own but any assistance is appreciated.
I would like to loop through a SQL Server table that contains the paths to all the reports we need to run and then execute the reports via SSIS. What task should I be doing to do this? Will the For Loop work for something like this?
Has anyone tried to use the ErrorRows report? It reads the tblSSIS_ErrorRows table. How is this table populated from packages I create? I can not find any documentation on the SSIS EventLog Report Pack other than that which comes with it and it does not say anything on how the table is populated. The only reference to the table is how you can create it in another database.
I have a SSISpackage which have 10 execute sql tasks, which loads data into the 10 tabales. Using these 10 tables, I load data into 2 tables. These 2 tables are using to generate reports using SSRS. So we have creatad SSRS package which will generate report. So here what we are doing is we are loading data into those (10+2) tables. then running that report manually and sending that created excel report manully. Can we achieve this using SSIS only, so once data loaded into those 2 reporting table it will start generating reports. How do we achieve using SSRS?
I am working with the IT department at a client site trying to hook into Oracle. We are using Windows Server 2003 64-bit, SQL Server 2005 Standard 64-bit, Oracle 10-g 64-bit and Linux Red Hat 64-bit. All service packs are current.
We are working on a data warehouse project where we need to import Oracle information periodically throughout the day and integrate it in a central location with data already residing in SQL Server. This is the first time I have tried to pull data from Oracle. The databases in Oracle and SQL Server that we are pulling data from are third party application databases.
My client cannot connect to Oracle using Crystal ODBC connections. When we use either the .NETor OLEDB connections, we get the "client tools need to be installed" message. We do have the client tools installed on the WIndows Server that SQL Server is installed on. We can connect to Oracle from this locattion using Aqua Data Studio and SQL *PLUS. I checked and there is only one tnsnames.ora file on the server. I used the name from there to try to connect using SSIS. Still no luck.
I did see somewhere that there is a possible issue with 64-bit installations. We really need to get this connection working.

While within SQL Server 2008R2/Visual Studio 2008, I created SSIS project that involves, among the rest, Script Components.... Nowadays, we moved towards SQL Server 2014 and Visual Studio 2013...Our further development of SSIS project is stacked at Script Component errors....like depicted in attachment. As synopsis of steps that we used to undertook, was drag/drop Script Component, Transformation, Add Web Service as [URL] ...., Resolve in order to set up correct Using statement....But, if we try to BUILD, it pop ups errors beneath... How to escape i.e., how to build it now in SQL Server 2014 and Visual Studio 2013?
Hi am trying to import data from a excel file into my 2005 DB using a SSIS package.
This first thing i've done is create a Excel source and then a derived column task as i need to format my date, so am using substring to format the date but the expression am using will not work am geting a error on it
the data in the excel file is like 8122007 here is my expression
When i ran SSIS package from Business Intelligence studio it works fine..but when i use the DTEXEC.EXE /SQL it gives me error at the Data transformation Tasks for Excel Destination
Description: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available.

It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.".
I have given the same permissions as the Sql server and Sql server agent to the Folder where the excel file is sitting.
Is there anything else i have to add for the package to work?

I have 25 columns in my excel which is the second row in the excel. I have merged column comprising of 3-4 columns so like wise 7 columns as the 1st row. How can I suggest SSIS that 2ns row in the header or column names? Is there a way to validate values in each cell in excel for their data types using SSIS? Also is there any way using SSIS that I can refer to specific cell in the excel?
