How can I use code (wither it be SQL or .Net Framework) to programmatically import 8 different Excel Sheets into One SQL Table (that currently does not exist)?
This is SQL Server 2005. Excel 2007.
I'm battling with importing sales data from different ERP systems into a SQL table. I have multiple spreadsheets, which have the same sheet name, column names and formats. I use a for each file loop container to loop through the different files. I use variables passed to a script to pull the relevant source information from the file name. I then use the variables to create derived columns in the flow to indicate the datadate and the company division.
My problem is even though all the data and metadata looks the same, there are a couple of columns between the two spread sheets that alway complain about the metadata not matching or a coumn needing to be added to the external metadata column collection and the same coumn name needs to be removed from the external metadata column collection.
These spreadsheets are coming from different countries but I have gone in and adjusted any fromats that are different from the excel spreadsheet used as the template. The same two columns out of 12 complain and I'm not sure what is causing the error. In the error is
Warning: 0x800470C8 at Read excel File, Excel Source [274]: The external metadata column collection is out of synchronization with the data source columns. The column "COGS" needs to be added to the external metadata column collection.
The "external metadata column "COGS " (2512)" needs to be removed from the external metadata column collection.
Eventually, I'll have 3 spreadsheets to load and need to find out why they are not viewed as the same data and metadata when they apear that way on the surface. I've searched numerous blogs out there (Even Jamie's) and can't find anything.
Thanks,

Hi All.
Would you happen to know how one could convert some Excel spreadsheets to MSSQL? There is some commercially available software, but there must also be a way for me to manipulate the files.
Many thanks!

We have a process here that produces several dozen Excel Spreadsheets every day from SQL Server using the bcp utility. the problem is that we cannot include the column headers when producing the Output. We are therefore trying to find a method where we can append the column Headers to the Spreadsheets; is there a way of doing this?

Some of the reports I am generating have tens of columns so the management decides to use Excel files only.
Is there any way that for a single report (not the whole project) I can disable printing and most of the exporting options (including PDF, HTML, TXT ...) and only leave the xls files available?
Thanks a lot.

I am trying to import data from named ranges in excel spreadsheets. I have no troubles if the named sheets have the same number of columns but I can not get the package to work when the spreadsheets have different number of columns. I am using the excel source as the input to my dataflow. I have tried setting it up with the maximum number of columns but if the named range has less than that, I am getting an error.

l've some excel files controlled by Vendor which changing frequently. The only thing does not change is the header name of each column.
So my question is, is there any way to create a new table based on the excel file selected including the column name in SSIS? So that l can use the data reader as source to select those columns l am interested on and start the integration.
Thanks.

In addition, the excel file will contain the company name more than once (for every contact person in company new row with company name).
I need to insert into table Company the company only once.
I then need to insert the Contact details into the table Contact
Finally, i need to insert into Contact_Company table both the company_id and contact_id
Problems:
-How do i insert into Company table the company only once from excel?
-How do i insert into Contact_Company the correct contact_id and company_id so that the right contact person will be assigned to the company?

Hi folks. I am having an excel file. I need to import this file to database and update some other tables with data contained in this file. I would like to automate this process as much as possible.
Now, I am just using SQL Server Import Wizard to create a table and then I am running an update query. Is there any (more automate) way to do this?
Thanks for your time.

Hey folks,
My first post and I hope not my last!!
I am very new to the entire world SQL Server databases. I am starting from scratch.
Currently I have a little Website I am doing for myself that is .asp based and will allow users to query some sports boxscores. I hope to create a user interface that will allow folks to seperate team results based on certain criteria...
It is just a hobby of mine that I have been doing for year with excel and now hope to let others like me do it aswell.
here is what I got.
MSSQL 2005 Server with a database.
Iam using SQL 2005 Server Express Studio. Therefore, do not have access to SSIS or DTS or anything like that.
However, I want to import several hundred records into a db I created (hosted by Crystal tech). Since, I don't have access to the Server root directory, I can't use the BULK INSERT statement.
I am looking for a method to query an excel file (or .csv something..) that is stored on my local drive and upload it to the Server db tables.
I would like to do this either through SQL with a query. Or I would to add this VB code to the current VB that I use in my Excel file.
any ideas..??
Thank you for supporting me in advance.
Hi!
I have to develop an application for transfering data from an excel file into a sql table.The excel file is uploaded to a server.The database(and the table) is on another server.At first,I used openrowset for transferring data to the table.My sql command looked like this(in my asp page):
SQLstr = "SELECT * INTO dbo.shopping_TSR FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Excel 8.0;Database="+Server.MapPath("upload/tmb2.xls")+";hdr=yes', 'SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]')"
I kept getting this error:
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'IDBInitialize::Initialize returned 0x80004005: The provider did not give any information about the error.]
After reading a few articles,I think the cause of my error is that the excel file is uploaded into the folder where the asp script is located.I have 2 servers : one running the asp scripts and one containing the database.
Is my error generated by the fact that the excel file is on a different server than the sql server?How could I make this work?
I have this situation that I need to read a spreadsheet with user names into a sql table where user name is just one of the columns. I tried using oledb connection to read the spreadsheet and sqlbulkcopy to import into sql table. There was no error, but the data wasn't imported into sql. 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.

If DTS package is used then I am not sure how I can place 10 excels at a time so that they can be picked one by one and data is imported in to table.
Please help.

Hi everyone!
I asked a similar question like this yesterday but i didnt work the way I wanted it to work. So I will ask in a diffrent way:
I have an Excel list which i want to import into a table in my SQL Server 2005. The ServerTable has one more column (for the the primary key which is created automatically) than the ExcelList. How can i import the ExcelList in a way so that I the first column of my ServerTable is not filled by a column of my ExcelList??
That is how far I came:
select *
into SQLServerTable FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'Excel 8.0;Database=D: esting.xls;HDR=YES',
'SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]')

Hi everyone,
I've got an excel file that I want to import into a database table.
The longest text in a cell is 385 characters.
I've made the fields in the table nvarchar(1024).
I created a data flow task for the import.
When I run this task, I get the following error:
[Excel Source [1]] Error: There was an error with output column "Line Text" (52) on output "Excel Source Output" (9). The column status returned was: "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page.".
[Excel Source [1]] Error: The "output column "Line Text" (52)" failed because truncation occurred, and the truncation row disposition on "output column "Line Text" (52)" specifies failure on truncation. A truncation error occurred on the specified object of the specified component.
is it possible that there is a restriction on the length of the text ?
regards,
Filip

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.

I have a excel sheet with some data and blank columns. I have a ssis package using to import data from excel to sql table. For blank excel columns it is importing as null instead i want to show them as '0'. If data comes in it should update the data.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI'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.

by doing the above setting also , the column is coming as null from excel source even though there is data in excel.
