Help Exporting Using To DTS To Excel And Renaming The File

Dec 5, 2007

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

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

Transact SQL :: Exporting Data To Excel File

Apr 24, 2015

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?

Exporting Data Into Excel File From SSIS

Nov 22, 2006

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.

Problem When Exporting Data Into Excel File From SSIS

Dec 9, 2006

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.

Excel Damage To The File Error When Exporting With SSRS 2005

Jul 26, 2006

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.

Exporting A Table With Changing Column Names To An Excel File

Oct 25, 2006

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)

Integration Services :: Renaming / Replacing Part Of A File In File System Task

May 14, 2015

I'm copying files to a folder with the naming convention as follows in the source folder:

CM_ABC_MY_TEST.txt

In the destination folder, this filename needs to appear as:

CM_XYZ_MY_TEST.txt

In my File System Task, I'm pretty sure I'm going to need an expression with a replace, substring, etc. But am having a hard time nailing down the exact syntax.

File Does Not Exist Error While Renaming A Flat File

May 22, 2008

Hi All,

We have a SSIS package which is accessing a remote Windows file share location.
The package first moves the file from folder-1 to folder-2 and also renames the file during this process.
Then the package reads the file (using a flat file connection FF_SRC) from folder-2 and renames it again after processing it successfully.

The permissions given to the user executing the package on folder-2 are: Read+Write+Modify+List folder contents.

We are facing an error:




Code SnippetFile or directory "Z:folder-2XYZ.txt" represented by connection "FF_SRC" does not exist.





We are getting the above error when the SSIS package is trying to rename the file the second time in folder-2.

However, the file exists in folder-2.

The OS is Windows 2000 Server SP4.

Any ideas why this could be happening and how it could be resolved?

Best Regards,
Avnip

Renaming A File With File System Task

May 10, 2006

I'm having trouble working this out in SSIS. I am trying to use a File System task to rename a file using an expression so that file.zip will be renamed to filemmyy.zip at the end of every month (for instance this month would be file0506.zip).

I am using the destination expression variable. But I'm not sure what to put for DestinationConnection. It seems to want a file name, but the file name is going to be variable, so I'm not sure what to put.

Any ideas?

File Renaming

Feb 27, 2008

I have had a go at using a package with a script to rename and move a file and it works well by using a script task in a package with source and destination variables. See script at bottom
But in my scenario the file thst comes in every day will have a slightly different name. It will be called "System_UT_INCR_BOOKINGHEADER_20080228000000.TXT"
On the 28th Feb. The date part of the title changes everyday.

SO i need to adjust my "Source" variable which is currently just a string with a value of "C:DatafilesimportsSystem_UT_INCR_BOOKINGHEADER_20080228000000.TXT" So it will only ever look for that exact file name

Renaming A Logical Database File

Mar 9, 2000

Is there a way to rename the logical file for a database. For example, if I am moving a development database into production, I can use backup - but the backup takes the logical file names of the database and puts it into my production server. Now I have a production database with "dev_data1" for a logical file.....Can I change that name....?

Thanks!

Renaming A File To Include Date And Time

Jan 16, 2007

Hi

I am trying to move a flat file to an archive folder and then rename the file to include the date and time of runtime.

I have set up a File System Task to move the file which works fine and a second File System Task to rename. The IsDestinationPathVariable is set to TRUE and the DestinationVariable is called User::Error_Log_File_Rename. There is an expression as follows:

@[User::Error_Log_File_Rename] = "Y:\SSIS_PUD_Upload\Error_Log_Archive\Update_Error_Messages - " +REPLACE((DT_WSTR, 30)(DT_DBDATE)GETDATE() + "-" + (DT_WSTR, 30)(DT_DBTIME)GETDATE(),":","-") +".txt"

which is the required file name.

If I go into the expression and evaluate it it will give me the current date and time. However when I run it as part of the package say 10 minutes later the file is renamed using the same date and time from 10 minutes before when I evaluated the expression. If I wait another 10 minutes and run the package again it still retains the original date and time.

Is there a way to get the expression evaluated with the current date and time during execution of the package?

Thanks in advance

Scott

Exporting To Excel

Oct 23, 2007

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

SQL Server 2008 :: Renaming Logical File Names

Apr 30, 2015

Is there any danger with renaming the LOGICAL file names behind the database?

There are a bunch of databases that were restored copies and all of them have the same logical database file name. I'm trying to get some growth data so I want the logical files to be different (prefer them to match the actual database name) so I can more easily identify them.

For instance:

database_id name type_desc name physical_name
1 DLMdb1 ROWS DLMDB1 D:dlmdb1.mdf
1 DLMdb1 LOG DLMDB1_log E:dlmdb1.ldf
2 DLMdb2 ROWS DLMDB1 D:dlmdb2.mdf
2 DLMdb2 LOG DLMDB1_log E:dlmdb2.ldf
3 DLMdb3 ROWS DLMDB1 D:dlmdb3.mdf
3 DLMdb3 LOG DLMDB1_log E:dlmdb3.ldf

Am I safe to rename the logical names? I can't think of anything that references those logical file names that I would be breaking [backups, applications].

Certain Numeric Fields Not Read From The Excel File When Using A Excel File Source.

Jul 20, 2006

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

Exporting A Table To Excel

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.
