I am new to this forum and I dont know much about MS SQL Server and SQL Language at all. Anyway, I just wrote a SQL Script (Query) that pulls one sql table from a large database. Because I need this script for many similar cases (only one parameter changes), I will write a java program which produces the specific sql code with respect to the particular situation. Thus my Query will produce many tables. How can automate to export each of them in an excel? It can not be the case that I have to build a excel file for each sql-table manually. The SQL Script should produce the excel file automaticly.
My question for short:
"select * from final"
how can i export the resulting table to an excel file (which should be built by ms sql server in exactly this moment)?
I was hoping someone could help out with this issue....I've got a report I created in Reporting Services 2000 SP2 where I am nesting table elements within the row and detail sections of the matrix. This allows me to have multiple items within my "row" data with column headings, and works perfectly fine within the designer, and viewer, and whenever I export it to any format other than Excel. Exporting to excel results in a "Specified cast is not valid" error.
To me this seems to be a bug in the Excel rendering extension, since it seems to be supported in RDL. Has anyone else run into this? Is there a fix to the renderer or a workaround that anyone is aware of?
I'd be happy to post the RDL if anyone is interested.
Anyone know why cells within a matrix that are formatted as numeric export to Excel with a cell format proprty of "General"? Cells within a table however export with an appropriate format.
I have a ssrs report having 2 tables in with 4 columns in each. When I go to export option in preview I can see all data coming in one excel sheet, But I am trying to get 2 tables in 2 different pages in Excel when I export.First page of excel comes with first table data with 4 columns and second page of excel comes with second table data with 4 columns .
When I open the spreadsheet in Excel 2000, it works fine. When I try to print, it crashes Excel. In testing, I narrowed it down to the Header/Footer, because it also crashes when I go to Page Setup and click on the header/footer tab.
However, I can print the same spreasheet from Excel 2007.
Am I just dealing with a "you need to upgrade all your clients" situation, or is there a known issue with certian formatting that is passed out with reports that is not supported by older versions of Excel?
I am using Reporting Services 2005 SP2 to serve up the report that is exported to Excel.
I've been googling this for a while now and can't seem to find any elegant answers.
I'm looking for an automated way to present a FORMATED Excel Spreadsheet to the Customer from a stored procedure output.
Can anyone advise me the best method of doing this - should I / can I assign an Excel Template to the DTS Task output ?
His mind is set on Excel and the formatting is basic and easy to write in a Macro which I've done, but this requires human interaction to finish the task (Automated Run Once on opening etc).
In an ideal world an individual would send an email to the Server with two formated parameters (@FromDate & @ToDate) and would be emailed back a ready formatted S/Sheet. But I believe he would be willing to just select the relevant SpreadSheet for the Daily / Weekly / Monthly periods dumped.
I'm working on an ASP.Net project where I want to test code on a localmachine using a local database as a back-end, and then export it tothe production machine where it uses the hosting provider's SQL Serverdatabase on the back-end. Is there a way to export tables from oneSQL Server database to another in such a way that if a table alreadyexists in the destination database, it will be updated to reflect thechanges to the local table, without existing data in the destinationtable being lost? e.g. suppose I change some tables in my localdatabase by adding new fields. Can I "export" these changes to thedestination database so that the new fields will be added to thedestination tables (and filled in with default values), without losingdata in the destination tables?If I run the DTS Import/Export Wizard that comes with SQL Server andchoose "Copy table(s) and view(s) from the source database" and choosethe tables I want to copy, there is apparently no option *not* to copythe data, and since I don't want to copy the data, that choice doesn'twork. If instead of "Copy table(s) and view(s) from the sourcedatabase", I choose "Copy objects and data between SQL Serverdatabases", then on the following options I can uncheck the "CopyData" box to prevent data being copied. But for the "CreateDestination Objects" choices, I have to uncheck "Drop destinationobjects first" since I don't want to lose the existing data. But whenI uncheck that and try to do the copy, I get collisions between theproperties of the local table and the existing destination table,e.g.:"Table 'wbuser' already has a primary key defined on it."Is there no way to do what I want using the DTS Import/Export Wizard?Can it be done some other way?-Bennett
I've built a fairly straight forward report in RS that looks normal in preview mode and in PDF format with out any issues.But when I export it to Excel report header is not appearing in each page.Any ideas as to why this is occurring?thanks in advance,Ramesh KS
Hello All, I'm simply exporting data from SQL to Excel via the Export Data feature in SQL Management Studio.My problem is I have a column aliased as [ID #] and when it exports it changes the Pound Sign into a decimal -> ID .SPACE(25) As [ID#], It's not a major problem but does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, Kyle
Hi there I know its possible to export data from a gridview to excel. I'm looking to export data directly from a stored procedure at the click of a button.Somebody suggested using the following:insert into OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Excel 8.0;Database=C: esting.xls;', 'SELECT * FROM [SheetName$]') select * from table-nameWhen I tried executing the above lines of codes I got the following error message:"Ad hoc access to OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' has been denied. You must access this provider through a linked server." If anyone has any idea whats wrong ... plssssssssssssssssssss ... let me know .... Thanks in advance.
I have a job which produces a daily report and exports it to excel. However, instead of overwriting the contents of the file the data is being appended to the file. Any suggestions welcome.
I'm trying to export to excel using dts, but using a stored procedure where i have a query using temporary tables (#D,#T,#R) and the result is a table with a variable number of columns (sometimes 3 columns and sometimes 10 columns)
I want to run Stored procedure that is returning recordsets and is using cursors/ temporary tables (MS Sql 2000 Server). The output of this SP is to be used to prepare an excel Report.
It shows me the data in the Preview, but asks me to define transformations. Further on the transformations, it does not shows up the source columns (although they were populated in the preview)
When I perform the same task using DTS Export utility, i get the following error:
Error source: MS ole db provider for sql server Error Desc : Null Accessors are not supported by this provider context: error calling CreateAccessor. Your provider does not support all the interface/methods required by DTS
1. I created a spreadsheet named test.xls with the column headings from my temp table 2. Saved and closed this xls 3. Tried to run the following:
USE [PEI]; GO INSERT INTO OPENROWSET ('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Excel 8.0;Database=C:DELL est.xls;', 'SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]') SELECT * FROM tblCFPooled GO
Where C:DELL est.xls is where I saved test.xls, tblCFPooled is the table I have populated in the firstplace and PEI is the database name.
When I run this the following error crops up:
OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)" returned message "The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find the object 'Sheet1$'. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly.". Msg 7350, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 Cannot get the column information from OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)".
I then found something on a different site: http://www.mssqltips.com/tip.asp?tip=1202
So based on this I tried:
insert into OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Excel 8.0;Database=C:DELL est.xls;', 'SELECT * FROM [T$]') select * from tblCFPooled
And obtained the following error:
OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)" returned message "The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find the object 'T$'. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly.". Msg 7350, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 Cannot get the column information from OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)".
(I renamed the sheet1 to T if you are wondering where T$ comes in!)
Before running either of these 'export' queries I did as instructed in the first link: EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1; GO RECONFIGURE; GO EXEC sp_configure 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries', 1; GO RECONFIGURE; GO
Which produced results: Configuration option 'show advanced options' changed from 0 to 1. Run the RECONFIGURE statement to install. Configuration option 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries' changed from 0 to 1. Run the RECONFIGURE statement to install.
I assumed from that I had successfully enabled Ad Hoc Distributed Queries - Is that correct?
Both methods seem to throw up a similar error, an error which makes me think its some kind of SQL authentication issue.
Has anyone successfully exported from SQL to Excel - if so, any tips?!
(For the record I am using Management Studio, we are running SQL Server 2005, I am doing all this on a Vista Business machine, the SQL server is on a local server on our network here. )
I have a report when I run that report if the result is span for multiple page the table header is displaying for each page.When exported to PDf it is displaying the table header for each page.but when we export to Excel the table headers are not displaying.Any work around for this.
Hi , I have a simple report which i want to export to excel format. the are no groups in the report. I need each page of the report to appear as a seperate page in excel. currently when i export the report i get a single continuous page. is there any way in which i can do this ????
I have some reports that I used vbcrlf in. Whenever they are exported to Excel only the first line appears.
Ex: Name (&vbcrlf) Address 1 (& vbcrlf) Address 2 (& vbcrlf) City, State, Zip
This exports to Excel and displays the name line only. However, if I close the file that was exported and the extra blank screen, and hit export to excel again for a second time, all of the information is displayed.
I am having a problem exporting data to excel using t-sql. I need to create a t-sql stored procedure that exports the resultset of a dynamic query to Excel where the columns are not know beforehand.
I have been able to do it using bcp, but the problem is that the bcp method just exports the data to an tab-delimited ascii file with a .xls extension. Excel is smart enough to pick it up and parse it out into the individual cells, but the problem arises if the field value contains any special chars that may have been picked up when the user input the data by using copy & paste. Then the columns/rows are skewed for the record that has the field with the special chars in its field value.
I have tried using the openrowset method and if you know the fields(cols) that you want to retrieve, it works great. All you have to do is pre-create an excel file with the first row containing the columnNames for each column. But for dynamic queries, this is not an option. I have read somewhere that you can do a range, but have not been able to figure out to do that yet. You would have to pre-determine the number of columns & rows and figure out the range. Columns A-Z may not be as big an issue, but then I would have to figure out the values for any columns if the column count exceeded 26.
Outside of using Ole-Automation, is there any way than I can achieve the results that I really need? It just seems like over-kill for something that should be a simple task. If it cannot be done outside of Ole-Automation, is there a good example that someone can point me to?
Hi all, I have a SSRS Report which I have built using only a table. There are many table header rows, detail rows and table footers rows. For the layout of the report, I have merged many Table columns as well.
So when I am exporting this report to excel, it renders the report as it is but I am not able to manipulate any data in the excel till I do a lot of cleaning up. I have to remove the table headers, footers and also unmerge the merged columns etc.
My users are asking that they need a way throught which when they export the data it presents them with just the data which can be easily sorted, added, manipulated.
Is there a way of doing this. I thought about two ways of doing it.
Make another report in which only the data is shown and thus when this data is exported, then only the data gets exported to excel. But this is a very tedious way. Because as the number of reports increases, thi sis going to be a tough task to follow.
Make a web service or a plug in which will be connected to my web form. Then when the Export to Excel is clicked, this plug in will clean up the SSRS Report and export to excel in a way that only the data is exported. But I dont know much about web services or plug ins.
Could you please guide me that if it is achieveble. And what are the various ways in which this task can be done.
I really need this urgently. Any help or suggestion is welcome.
I have list within an list and we have section 1 thru 7. We display the list based the parameters seleted from report for some result section might start from 3 thru 6 . In such case when try to export to excel i get huge gaps as i am missing section 1 thru 2 in the report.
How do we avoid those spaces when exporting to excel,
I'm trying to use the export to Excel (Excel Destination) however, I wish to supply a dynamic piece of SQL to generate the data.
When I set the properties I just get an option to enter "Table or View", "Table or View as Variable" or "SQL Command".
The issue is that the table does not exist until the SSIS job is run and the columns will not always be the same anyway.
How can I use a simple dynamic piece of SQL (or stored proc) to get a recordset that is simply dumped out to excel - rows... columns... nothing more ?.
I have several similar reports all with a table with more or less columns depending on the report it self.
On one report I made the table rows with a bigger Height( because I have a small column with big data where I need to wrap)
It works OK on the Preview (Designer) it works OK on the reports Web Page (ReportManager) . it works OK when I export to PDF When I export to Excel the rows are not with the height I specified and not all the data is visible (I have to adjust row height in excel).
When our report exported to Excel, In the Excel file it is giving some extra columns between the data columns.How to avoid those extra columns.This extra columns causes problems when we want to sort one column it is throwing sort can't be applied on merged columns.
I am using SQL Server CE as a backend to a dekstop application. I would like the ability to export some of the SQL Server CE tables in my databse to MS Excel. Is this possible?
I have a big report which I want to export t oexcel. I get an error with timeout as it is a big fine. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I can change the timeout? I tried to run the file on server early morning with File to Delivey option.
I'm looking for the best way to export the results of a parameterized stored procedure (SQL 2000) to excel. I can do this with DTS using global variables for the parameters, but each time I execute the package it appends the data below where the previous data was, leaving a bunch of blank rows. I need the data to always be appended to the 2nd row (replacing the old data) because I have a chart based on a dynamic named range in Excel. Is there an easy way to do this in DTS, or should I approach this another way (ADO, ActiveX Scripts, .NET, etc.)? Thanks,
In SQL7 you can use a wizard to export database to access or excel. Any known scripts or procedures? I need to give the data in one of these formats so it can be massaged into Oracle by our Oracle vendor. Any help or referals will be greatly appreciated.
