How To Automate And Merge Two Sets Of Query Results To One Excel File
Oct 12, 2007
Hi All,
I have two SQL queries that we would like to automate. Ideally we want them to both be scheduled to run and dump their results to a single Excel spreadsheet with two workbooks, one for each query
Is it possible to do this? If not, sending each query to a seperate XLS or CSV file would be OK
Here are the queries:
SELECT p21_view_unvouched_po_currency_report.unvouched_document_type, p21_view_unvouched_po_currency_report.date_created, p21_view_unvouched_po_currency_report.unvouched_document_no, p21_view_unvouched_po_currency_report.line_number, p21_view_unvouched_po_currency_report.po_no, p21_view_unvouched_po_currency_report.po_line_number, po_line.created_by, p21_view_unvouched_po_currency_report.item_id, p21_view_unvouched_po_currency_report.item_desc, p21_view_unvouched_po_currency_report.qty_received, p21_view_unvouched_po_currency_report.qty_vouched, p21_view_unvouched_po_currency_report.order_date, p21_view_unvouched_po_currency_report.location_id, p21_view_unvouched_po_currency_report.supplier_id, p21_view_unvouched_po_currency_report.supplier_name, p21_view_unvouched_po_currency_report.extended_cost_home
FROM P21.dbo.p21_view_unvouched_po_currency_report p21_view_unvouched_po_currency_report, P21.dbo.po_line po_line
WHERE po_line.po_no = p21_view_unvouched_po_currency_report.po_no AND po_line.line_no = p21_view_unvouched_po_currency_report.po_line_number
Is there a way to export query results to an excel fie and add that file as an attachment in the email? All this has to be done using SQL query and it needs to be automated. My coworker tried using Openrowset and BCP, but it is not working.
We are trying to limit are query that returns items from our database. The query currently returns 32,000 records. We are trying to figure out an effecient way so we can request the 1st 50, or the 3rd 50, or the 5th 50 to display to the screen. We dont want to return the entire 32,000 then limit whats displayed to the screen in ADO. We want the select statment to only return 50 at a time. Any suggestions?
Hi,I am using a .dqy file to import some rows from a sql server 2003database to microsoft excel. Unfortunately, I have am importing morerows than excel can handle. Is there a way around this?It appears that there is no equivalent of the LIMIT(offset, number ofrows to return) function of mysql in tsql. Had there been anequivalent, I would have created multiple .dqy files, which would querythe database for pages of results as appropriate. There is an upperlimit to the number of records that there can be in the database, sothis would have been a feasible solution.Also, I must use .dqy files (or something equivalen) because thequeries are invoked from a website, and it is necessary to download theresults, sort/filter, etc. (in excel).Thanks for any suggestions.
I am just wondering if anyone has a code to send query results to a spreadsheet package eg. MS Excel. i) Automatically send the query result(s) to the package ii) open the spreadsheet package;
I have been tasked with creating a report that shows sales of our products grouped into buckets of 5 each, DESC. I have a table that has the itemNo and revenue. The final report would be something like:
Top 5 Spreads$695,066 Next 5 Spreads$467,845 Next 5 Spreads$416,946 Next 5 Spreads$361,946 Next 5 Spreads$305,607 Next 5 Spreads$270,567 Bottom Spreads$15,954
My initial thinking was to use row_number() and partition to label the rows in groups of 5 like:
i have these 2 queries with the included results sets...What commands could I use to take the TotalBlueCircle Column from the 2nd Results Set and have it included next to the TotalRugby column in the 1st results set??Do i need to do a UNION or use Sub Queries or something else?
I'm looking for a tool that can schedule stored procedures or queries and save the results to pdf or excel (preferrably both). SQL Server 2000, so 2005 reporting services are out, though if that has the capability I'd like to know because that might convince some of the powers that be to upgrade.
Code: SELECT DISTINCT LEFT([REPORTING_MONTH], 4)+'-'+SUBSTRING([REPORTING_MONTH],5,6) as REPORTING_MONTH, t.EMPLOYEE, '' as COUNT_FTP, CASE WHEN [MEDIUM_RCVD] = 'EMAIL' THEN COUNT(MEDIUM_RCVD) ELSE '' END AS COUNT_EMAIL FROM [GPO].[dbo].[DW_SUBMISSION] as s JOIN #TEMPActivity as t
[Code] ....
I'm trying to get the set to come out all on one line. REPORTING_MONTH, EMPLOYEE, COUNT_FTP, COUNT_EMAIL
But when I try null or '' it creates a second record and doesn't merge the two results.
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[ADAMHsp_BSS_GetNonMedicaidReportTotals] @pstrProviderNameVARCHAR(100) AS BEGIN
[Code] ....
See my result set in the picture below. The rows with NULL in the 'ProcGrp' column have the totals of the groupings by FY that I am looking for - that's great. What I want to do now is have another row that contains the sums of the values from any row where 'ProcGrp' is null so that I have a totals row.
I am new in the automation, how I can automate excel with SQL server.?i need to update with reports will be automatically send to my client. Data is kept in the database.
Dear All,This is a query surrounding a problem I encounteredyesterday.In SQL Server, it is possible to write a procedure thathas one or more select statements in it.The results from these select statements will all beindividually returned to SQL Query Analyser where theycan be viewed in "grid" views. Also, these individualresults sets can be consumed by eg ADO.NET by steppingthrough each results set in turn and processing therespective results.My question is, can you do the same in a SQL Serverprocedure? ie:Create Procedure Proc1ASbeginselect Col1, COl2from Table1select Col1, Col2, Col3from Table2endCreate Procedure Proc2ASbeginexec Proc1endCan both/either of the results sets from Proc1 beconsumed by the calling procedure Proc2?I can see that you could design the procedures up-front to do almost anything without consuming theresult sets in this way, but if the proceduresreturning the results sets are already built andin use in other places (for instance in client code),can they be re-used on server-side SQL procedures?Thanks in anticipation!Paul.
I am trying to fetch records from excel sheet using Select Query but I am getting the error message saying
"Msg 7302, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Cannot create an instance of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)"." Here is my Query, sp_configure 'show advanced options',1 reconfigure with override go sp_configure 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries',1 reconfigure with override go reconfigure SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET ('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Excel 8.0;Database=C:M2MworkedworkedBOS.xlsx;HDR=YES', 'select * from [Sheet1$]') AS A;
I have a report based on our product names that consists of two parts.Both insert data into a temporary table.1. A single grouped set of results based on all products2. Multiple tables based on individual product names.I am getting data by calling the same stored procedure multipletimes... for the single set of data I use "product like '%'"To get the data for individual products, I am using a cursor to parsethe product list.It's working great except that I have no idea how to identify theresults short of including a column with the product name. While thatis fine, I'm wondering if there is something that is like a header ortitle that I could insert prior to generating the data that would looka little tighter.Thanks in advance-DanielleJoin Bytes!
I am calling stored procedure called GetCommonItemCount within another stored procedure called CheckBoxAvailability, the first stored procedure should return a count to second stored procedure and based on that some logic will be executed.
I have 2 problems in that
1. The result is not coming from first stored so the variable called @Cnt is always 0 although it should be 18 2. At the end i need to see in the output the result from second stored procedure only while now i am seeing multiple results of record sets coming.
I have attached the scripts also, the line i described in step1 is
Im running a query using isql from the command line and outputting the results to a file. Ideally I'd like to have the file in csv format so that it can be used by a client to import the results into their system.
I can run a query and output the results to a file but get i dont get the csv format I require. I can separate the columns using /s parameter but I also additional space within the column fields.
I know it is possible to create the csv format using the SQL query tool and ISQL_w but I was wondering if there was some parameter that I can call that will format the output like the format options in ISQL_w allows me to do.
Is there a way in SQL Server 2000 to output your query results to a file (example comma-delimited) in the SQL CODE ITSELF? I know you can check the option under Tools->Options->Results but I want to have it do it in the SQL code. Thanks Eric
I am adding some KPI-style graphics to a report (BIDS 2005) and for consistency I would like to use the same icons that are available in the Excel 2007 icon sets that are used for conditional formatting in spreadsheets - there's no point in having users learn another set of icons. Are these graphics available anywhere so they can be added as embedded images in a report? Am I missing some other way to do this?
I have a query (select * from table1) and I'd like to have the results of this query sent to a text file instead of the results windows when I run it from Query Analyzer.
I want to write a small program (maybe just a stored procedure) that will save the results and column names of a simple query to CSV file. This will then be copied onto disk and distributed to user who'll use Excel or a similar package to open the CSV file.
Any suggestions as to the best way to achieve this? I was considering using a view and then BCP but I have problems then when trying to open the CSV file in excel (or other spreadsheet package). Doesn't like the datatypes and so on.
Is there a simple way to do this? And is it possible to save the results in such a way that Excel will choose the right datatypes for the columns. (not convert varchar's like '000122' to numbers.)
select *,substring(stafflog,15,11) as test into #t1 from dbo.Customers where stafflog like '%armagh%' go select left(stafflog,4) as Staff,count(left(stafflog,4)) as Total from #t1 where cast(left(test,charindex(' ', test))as smalldatetime) = cast(convert(varchar(8),getdate()-1,1) as datetime) group by left(stafflog,4) go select Title,Address1,Address2,Town,County,Postcode,TelephoneDay,TelephoneWork,TelephoneEvening, MobileTelephoneNo,Contact,Mail,Telephone,Terms,StaffLog from #t1 where cast(left(test,charindex(' ', test))as smalldatetime) = cast(convert(varchar(8),getdate()-1,1) as datetime) go drop table #t1 go
i need this query to be scheduled to run at a certain time every day and the results to be put in a text file.
is there an easy way to do this or what should i be looking at doing to get it to work
After running a query (from the Query Builder) in SQL Server 2008 sometimes I can right-click on the results pane and "Save results as CSV file", other times it's not an option. After running a query for 24 hours (several million record results) I can't seem to do anything with the results. I have my settings:
Options | Query results | SQL Server | Default Destination for Results
set to "Results to File" and a path entered, but it doesn't work. Is there wording I can add to the end of my SQL statement such as "TO FILE xxx.csv" or something?
is there a way to print query results from mgt studio into a file with headings and formatting? When I "save as a" file, export file, spreadsheet, the results dont have headings and semi decent formatting.
I have written a query that I need to save results of. Is there some statement that I can place at the top of my query (like we can do in Oracle through spool command) to specify the directoryfilename to save query results to? Eventually I need to schedule this to run daily via a DTS package.
Please let me know if you've come across this before?
