Getting Nulls In SQL2005 Table While Importing From EXCEL Spreadsheet
Jul 19, 2007
I am trying to import an Excel Spreadsheet into SQL2005. There is a column in the spreadsheet that has character values, and numbers. I have formatted the numbers as text on the spreadsheet. I have declared the column on the table as char/varchar/nchar, but whatever I do, the numbers don't get imported into the table, but show up as nulls. Any idea why?
Thanks

Hi,
I'm trying to import an excel file into SQL sever(using an insert statement), i'm creating a DTS package (in enterprise manager) and have VB Script. When i parse it, i get no errors, but when i run the package it says that it ran successfully but nothing happens, it doesnt insert into the table, even though i tested the insert statement. Can anyone help me?? Here's the code:
'************************************************* *********************
' Visual Basic ActiveX Script
'************************************************* ***********************
Function Main()
on error resume next
Set objxl = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
objxl.Visible = False
Dim xlFile
xlFile = "C:Datafile.xls"
Set objWkb = objxl.Workbooks.Open(xlFile)
'' Connecting to SQL Server
set cn = server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Dim serverName
serverName = "myserver2"
strCS = "Provider=SQLOLEDB; Data Source=myserver2;Initial
Catalog=mycat; Integrated Security=SSPI"
cn.ConnectionString = strCS
On Error Resume Next
cn.Open
Set objsht = objWkb.Worksheets.Open("Sheet1")
Dim client_name, rb, date_rvd, LOB
Dim sql
Dim row, sequence
row = 2
client_name = Trim(objsht.Cells(row, 2).Value)
Do While IsNull(client_name) = False And client_name <> ""
'client_name = Trim(objsht.Cells(row, 2))
rb = Trim(objsht.Cells(row, 4).value)
date_rvd = Trim(objsht.Cells(row, 6).value)
LOB = "WCS"
sql = "INSERT INTO TEMP_TEST (CLIENT_NAME, RB, DATE_REVIEWED, LOB) VALUES (" & _
" '" & client_name & "' ,'" & rb & "', " & date_rvd & ", '" & LOB & "');"
row = row + 1

cn.Execute (sql)
Loop
if err.count = 0 then

I'm trying to use a DTS package to import data from an excel file. A few tables keep throwing errors about not being able to insert null values.
Is there any way to just skip a row when a column is null? I know there are certain columns that will never be null, so if they are null, I know that I just have a messed up row in Excel.
I could probably do it by implying an SQL query and having it ignore null rows, but I can't find anything useful on SQL syntax where Excel files are concerned.

Hi
I have to import data from a number of excel files to corresponding tables in SQL 2005. The excel files are created using excel 4.0. I have created an excel connection manager and provided it with the path of the excel sheet.Next i have added an excel source from the toolbox to the dataflow. I have set the connection manger, data access mode, and the name of the excel sheet (the wizard detects the sheet correctly) in the dialog window i get when i double click the excel source. Every thing goes fine till here. Now when i select the 'columns' in this dialog window or the preview button, i get this error
TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio------------------------------Error at Data Flow Task [Excel Source [1]]: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.Error at Data Flow Task [Excel Source [1]]: Opening a rowset for "test4$" failed. Check that the object exists in the database.------------------------------ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:Exception from HRESULT: 0xC02020E8 (Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSPipelineWrap)------------------------------
Any ideas about why is this happening???

Hi all,
I have two tables in SQL Server 2005 and excel sheet ( Office 2003).
The colums of excel sheet are: name ,ssn, flagbit ( Note: Excel sheet contains data already)
Columns of table_one and table_two are: name ,ssn
I want to compare the ssn field from table_one and ssn in excelsheet_one, if it matches , then flagbit in excelsheet_one should say"T1".
If i compare ssn field from table_two and ssn in excelsheet_one, if it matches, the flagbit in excelsheet_one should say "T2".
Ex:
Table_one (input) ---- excelsheet_one ( Output)
ssn name ---- ssn name flagbit
11 NYC ---- 11 NYC T1
Both the tables refers same excelsheet_one and have to update the same flag bit column in excelsheet.
Basically, i want to compare table and excel sheet, then if it matches, then update excel sheet.
Does anybody how to do this.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Does anyone have any suggestion what I did wrong or what is the right way of doing this? Thanks a lot. Mia

I am using the import wizard in SQL Server 2008 R to import data from an Excel spreadsheet into a table I have created.
The spreadsheet contains 3 columns that SQL recognises as DOUBLE and they contain a 1 or 0. What data type do the corresponding fields in SQL table need to be? I have tried BIT, INT and FLOAT but keep getting an error (can't view details of the error because I get chucked out every time the error pops up). I know the problem is with the DOUBLE data because when I 'ignore' those columns the import works fine.

Every month a client sends a spreadsheet with data which we use to update matching rows in a table in the database. I want to automate this using a DTS package but am having quite a bit of trouble accomplishing what I think should be trivial task. I've been attempting to use a Transform Data Task with a modification lookup but I just keep inserting the rows from the source excel spreadsheet in to the existing destination table without ever modifying the existing data.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated as to a best practice approach.

Hi, I'm a Student, and since a few months ago I'm learning JAVA. I'm creating an application to call and compare times. For this I create in Excel a time table which is quite big and it would be a lot of typing work to input one by one the data in each cell in SQL Server, considering that I have to create 8 more tables. I was able to retreive the data from excel usin the JXL API of JAVA but it doesn't give all the funtions to perform math operations as JDBC. That's why I need to move the tables from Excel to SQL.
I found this site http://davidhayden.com/blog/dave/archive/2006/05/31/2976.aspx which gives a code to do so, but I guess that some heathers are missing or maybe I don't know which compiler to use to run that code, I would like you help to identify which compiler use to run that code or if there is some vital piece of code missing.// Connection String to Excel Workbook
string excelConnectionString = @"Provider=Microsoft .Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=Book1.xls;Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=YES;""";
// Create Connection to Excel Workbook
using (OleDbConnection connection = new OleDbConnection(excelConnectionString))
{
OleDbCommand command = new OleDbCommand ("Select ID,Data FROM [Data$]", connection);
connection.Open();
// Create DbDataReader to Data Worksheet
using (DbDataReader dr = command.ExecuteReader())
{
// SQL Server Connection String
string sqlConnectionString = "Data Source=.; Initial Catalog=Test;Integrated Security=True";
// Bulk Copy to SQL Server
using (SqlBulkCopy bulkCopy = new SqlBulkCopy(sqlConnectionString))
{
bulkCopy.DestinationTableName = "ExcelData";
bulkCopy.WriteToServer(dr);
}
}
}
On the other hand in this forum I that someelse use that link but implements a totally different code which I'm not able to compile also http://forums.asp.net/p/1110412/2057095.aspx#2057095. It seems this code works as I was able to read, but I do not know which language is used.
Dim excelConnectionString As String = "Provider=Microsoft .Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=Book1.xls;Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=YES;"""
' Using
Dim connection As OleDbConnection = New OleDbConnection(excelConnectionString)
Try
Dim command As OleDbCommand = New OleDbCommand("Select ID,Data FROM [Data$]", connection)
connection.Open()
' Using
Dim dr As DbDataReader = command.ExecuteReader
Try
Dim sqlConnectionString As String = WebConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("CampaignEnterpriseConnectionString").ConnectionString
' Using
Dim bulkCopy As SqlBulkCopy = New SqlBulkCopy(sqlConnectionString)
Try
bulkCopy.DestinationTableName =
"ExcelData"
bulkCopy.WriteToServer(dr)
Finally
CType(bulkCopy, IDisposable).Dispose()
End Try
Finally
CType(dr, IDisposable).Dispose()
End Try
Finally
CType(connection, IDisposable).Dispose()
End Try
Catch ex As Exception
End Try
The Compilers I have are: Eclipse, Netbeans, MS Visual C++ Express Edition and MS Visual C# Express Edition. In MS Visual C++
Thanks for your help.
Regads,

I'm trying to use Excel in SSIS to import the data from spreadsheet to a staging table. The package runs well from the web server using SSMS. But when I deploy and try to execute the package, I'm getting the below error. I've a question, whether I've to install the AccessDatabaseEngine driver in SQL database server or the web server where I'm executing the SSIS?
Error: The requested OLE DB provider Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 is not registered. If the 64-bit driver is not installed, run the package in 32-bit mode.

I am attempting to run an SSIS package that, among other things, imports a spreadsheet from excel into a database table. The package runs without any issues within Visual Studio. I have tried executing the package through both, the MSDB run package and through dtexec (trying to kick of the package through a stored procedure) and I get 2 different behaviors.
Using dtexec (the method I really need to use): The package will run successfully...up to the point when the spreadsheet is imported at which time it fails with Description: The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009. Here is the code:
exec xp_cmdshell 'dtexec /sq PopulateTRTLStationandtRTLUnitMapping /ser SERVERNAME
Running it through the MSDB Run Package UI...It will also make it up to the point where the Excel spreadsheet is imported but errors with: The Product level is insufficient for the component "Lookup Station and Account Type: (1894) ...and 1 line with that same error for every single task in that dataflow. Here is the code it runs.
/DTS "MSDBPopulateTRTLStationandtRTLUnitMapping" /SERVER "SERVERNAME" /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING V
The machine is running 32 bit OS Windows Server 2003 SP1 and Db SQL Server 2005 32 bit. I found one forum posting that suggested turning the Delay Validation property to True...but that did not fix the issue. I did create the package with my username with a ProtectionLevel of EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey. I don't think it is related to the account however because all of the tasks (serveral work tables are created) up to the Excel import will execute.
I really need to get this working as soon as possible so am open to any solutions someone can present.

Hi.
I have done this successfully the last time but just couldn't get it to work this time round. Please help.
I was trying to import data from an Excel file into MS SQL table. NONE of the numeric or value fields (right justified) works because they shown <NULL> in MS SQL table after the import via DTS. Those string fields were able to import ok into the table. DTS didn't show any error message during the DTS run.
Any advise? Thank you.
Best regards

I am using the DTS wizard and having problems importing excel into an existing table.
Problem is that various column in excel are defined as double in the wizard but in my db table it is defined as an integer.
How do I get around this issue so the data types in excel can match up accordingly to my defined data type in my db table?
The wizard does a bad job of guessing the correct data type.
I have heard of using a staging table to import from excel and using that as my source to import into my existing table.

I hope this is the right forum for my question.
I'm developing a website for a Prepaid Calling Cards distributor. Each of the cards they sale have a list of the countries the card is good for. I need to import this data into my countries_rates table. The file they are giving me is an excel file that contain 3 colums (fields)
1- Country-Name
2- Rate
3- Card_$_Price
these files contain aproximaly 400 rows so it will be a hasle to have to insert it manually every week.
In my web application I need to create a form where the user will select the card from a dropdownlist and then find the excel file to be imported for that card.
I would like to know how do I do that with Visual Studio 2005, SLQ 2005 and C#
please direct me to some links where I can learn how to do this or please send me some code snips I can see how is done.

Hi guys,
I wanted to know if there was a way to import multiple sheets from one excel file into one sql table in one go.
I have an excel file which has 15 sheets and want to import them into one table in one process rather than having to create 15 table and then joining into one table.
I am using Sql Server 2005(enterprise edition) v9 SP2.
Thanks

I need to take my 'table stats'every week and put them into an excel spreadsheet so that I can track the changes of my table sizes over time (basically I am watching to see how many rows are in each table). What I was planning on doing was to create a view of my table stats that I could then use DTS to transfer on a weekly basis into my excel spreadsheet. I have only used DTS a couple of times, and I have not ever tried it with excel. Now the problem: Everytime my DTS job runs it appends the data to the end of the origional columns that were created. Since my database has over 5000 tables these columns grow quite quickly. What I would like to do is set it up so that everytime the job runs it puts the new data into new columns in the same worksheet of my excel file. Is this possible? Any suggestions?

I'm getting an issue on a MS SQL DTS package that is doing a simple export from a MS SQL table to and Excel spreadsheet. I have three of these running but one is failing. I’m using DTSRun to run all three of these DTS packages. The only recent change was to the DTS package to fix the first step to delete the data in the spreadsheet tab named “Results”. The process works correctly in development (on different servers). The same active directory ID is being used on all three DTS packages and all three do the same i.e. export data to an excel spreadsheet in the same file location but with different names. I’ve Google’d this but only came across access issues which does not make since since it is writing the other two spreadsheets just fine. Curious.
Error I See:
Running DTS package with passed variables

Can somebody please tell me what I am doing wrong or need to do to resolve my issue. I having problems with one of the columns in an excel spreadsheet that I am trying to upload into the system. One of the columns contain values of both text and numbers such as 'ABC123', 'ABC124', '123456' etc. When I try uploading the sheet into SQL Server 2000 using DTS, the system removes all characters from the one column that I am having problems with. So entry 'ABC123' for example would be truncated to '123'. I tried formatting the column that I am having trouble with in excel to 'General' format as well as tried to transform the column to type varchar in SQL Server while using the DTS wizard but still had no luck. The problem is that SQL server thinks that the column is a float type column from the source and therefore truncates any characters.

Hello,
I have some XML that I'm passing through a variable into the XML task in SSIS. I also have an xsd file that I'm using and I want to validate (I think) that XML and have the XML task output an excel document. I've got the xsd file all set up in the "second operand" part of the XML task and the XML I'm passing in as a variable and that's in the "input" part of the XML task. My question is are there any tricks to make an excel document with these two things? Is there something I need to do in the xsd file to tell it that I want excel? Below is my XML and xsd:
