Importing Excel File Into A MS-SQL 2005 Table

Jun 14, 2006

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.

Tia

Importing Multiple Excel Sheets Into One Table In Sql 2005

Apr 29, 2008

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

Problem Importing Csv Delimited Text File Into A Sql Server 2005 Table

Apr 25, 2006

I am using the Bulk Insert command and trying to import a CSV delimited text file into a table and I am having problems with the quote field delimiters ", " The command below works but it takes in all the "" quotes as well and the field delimiter comma , works only if the commas are the separators only. If I have a comma within a address field for example then the data gets imported into the wrong fields. What can I use to identify that the text qualifier is ". I don't see where I can use the bulk insert command to determine this. Is there another command that I can use or am I using this command incorrectly. I thank you in advance for any response or suggestion you may have.

BULK INSERT AdventureWorks.dbo.MbAddress

FROM 'a:mbAddress.txt'

WITH (

DATAFILETYPE = 'char',

FIELDTERMINATOR=',',

ROWTERMINATOR='',

CODEPAGE = '1252',

KEEPIDENTITY,

KEEPNULLS,

FIRSTROW=2)

Here is a sample ascii file I am importing as well you can see that 6330 has a extra comma in the address line.

Importing Excel File In SSIS

Aug 8, 2007

Okay... I am now about to pull my hair out: something that worked VERY EASILY in Server 2000 doesn't seem to work at all in 2005. I am trying to pump an Excel table into a 2005 database. I go into the Visual Studio Integration Services Project (this is so much easier... cynicism) and set up a project. I have my data source (Excel), I have my destination (SQL Natve Server, database). I set it up the same way that it worked (perfectly) in DTS and I run it... it grinds away and reports back that all is well... no errors. I go looking for the table... not there. I try with an SA login VS windows authentication... not there. I try with a different table... no there. I try with a different database... not there.

I am certain you can imagine the frustration... that is, if you are a user, not a programmer at Microsoft.

Okay, okay... I won't launch in to abuse here... but hey, how do I make this very complicated process now work?

Thanks...

Importing Data From An Excel File

Nov 13, 2007

Hi all,
I am trying to export data from an excel file to SQL Server database for reporting. Unfortunately I get the following errors.

[OLE DB Destination [54]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E21 Description: "Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.".

Could some one bail me out of this bug.

Importing Excel File Into Database

Sep 4, 2007

Hi, I am very new to ssis, I am trying to set up a package that I can set to run every hour or so, what it will do is look for all excel files in a certain folder and import them into a table on an sql server.

I managed to get it working but my problem is that my data is survey answers and some columns contain a comment.
I get these files on a weekly basis and some weeks the length of the longest comment makes ssis want to use a different data type for the comment column (sometimes it wants DT_NTEXT, other times it wants DT_WSTR).
as this column is filled out by a human I guess aposrtophies and other characters may affext this as well.

when I made the data flow task, I used the wizard on a file which contained about 8 weeks worth of data. when I use 1 weeks worth of data where the comment length is very low, the task gives a validation error saying the metadata is out of sync. if I go back and set the data type for that column to DT_WSTR and rerun the task, it works but then when it tries to process a different weeks worth of data it will fail again

here is an example of an error I get when it thinks the data type is wrong.
[Source - 'raw data$' [1]] Error: The output column "Question ID50# (Verbatim)" (439) on the error output has properties that do not match the properties of its corresponding data source column.

I played around with the data types for a while and managed to get it to process the first file and then try to process the secondfile, in the second file it got around the validation but then got this error:
[Source - 'raw data$' [1]] Error: Failed to retrieve long data for column "Question ID3# (Verbatim)".

is there a way to make it recalculate the data types by itself for each excel file?

I am stuck trying to figure this one out.
sorry if I havent provided enough information, I am not sure which direction to head with this

Error Importing Excel File

Mar 7, 2006

When ever importing a excel file or flat file, I get an Unhandled exception error and the event log reads a .Netframework error ID 1000.

Checking the database I was importing into, I find that the table was created with the columns, but no data within the columns.

The import wizards report 509 row copyed before crashing with the Handle error, where a dialog box appears allowing debug or close.

Can anyone help?

I include the logged errors.

Importing Excel File To SQL Server (Opinions Please)

May 18, 2005

Dear All,
I am writing a procedure to import daily the customer excel file to SQL server 2000, I managed to do that where the excel file will be imported directly to the SQL server after creating the new data table, & then I need to read the created table & import it row by row to my original data table.The problem:
I.        The original excel file has the following:a.       a protection passwordb.      The contents has two merged headers (which effecting the import procedure)c.       And last line is a totals line
Before importing the file I have manually to remove (a – b & c)!!
The Solution:
II.     I am trying to find a way to do the above points automatically inside the project.
III.   Also I thought of importing the excel file to a DataGrid first then:a.       Let the user approve the file contents &b.      Remove manually point (I.b.) above (I don’t now how yet, need to try it).c.       Then import the DataGrid the the SQL server.
I think I prefer solution (III), any suggestions are highly appreciated

Error When Importing Data From Excel File

Aug 22, 2006

Hi!

This is what i'm doing:

IF EXISTS (SELECT srvname FROM master.dbo.sysservers srv WHERE srv.srvid !=

0 AND srv.srvname = N'ExcelSource')

EXEC master.dbo.sp_dropserver @server=N'ExcelSource', @droplogins='droplogins';

-
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver
@server = 'ExcelSource',
@srvproduct = 'Excel',
@provider = 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
@datasrc = @Chemin,
@provstr = 'Excel 8.0';

EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedsrvlogin
@rmtsrvname = 'ExcelSource',
@useself = false,
@locallogin = NULL,
@rmtuser ='ADMIN',
@rmtpassword = NULL;

set @NomServ = 'ExcelSource';

This create a linkedServer to read my ExcelFile.

Then i'm doing this:

EXEC ('Insert into Elements (No_element, Nom_elem, Desc_elem, Code_grpe_classe, Tps_elem, Code_sgrpe, Code_produit)
Select No_element, Nom_elem, Desc_elem, Code_grpe_classe, Tps_elem, Code_sgrpe, Code_produit
from ' + @NomServ + '...[Elements$];')

This is where i got an error. The error is:
The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "ExcelSource" does not contain the table "Elements$". The table either does not exist or the current user does not have permissions on that table.

I can't figure out what i'm missing. I've add permissions for EVERYONE on the file and on the folder just to be sure and i still have the same error. How can i check if the table [Elements$] exist ?

SQL Server 2008 :: Importing Excel File Stored In Sharepoint

Feb 23, 2015

I have an excel file that is stored in a sharepoint document library. I am trying to use SSIS to import it into a SQL database. I use the excel connection manager with a sharepoint UNC path. When I run it from BIDS, it runs successfully. When I run it from a job, I get an error

"It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view and write its data"

It is definitely not open by anyone else, and I have full permissions to the file. ALSO, the SQL Agent and Service acct which the job runs under, has full permissions to the file. I have tried running it under a proxy account with my user account, but it fails with the same message. Further, I can run a DIR command from a command prompt to list the sharepoint directory contents successfully, but when I run the same command from SSMS using xp_cmdshell, it fails with access denied. Again, the SQL Service acct has full rights to the sharepoint site.

I notice when i browse to the sharepoint document library and try to open the folder with "Open with Windows Explorer", it always asks me to login and I'm thinking that is related to the problem I am having - that it doesn't automatically pick up the windows authentication.

Importing Excel Into MS SQL Table

Sep 12, 2006

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.

Importing From Excel To Sql Server 2005

Jun 23, 2007

I have about 50 Excel files from which I have to import data with some transformations to Sql Server. My first approach was to use Excel Source component in a data flow to read the data . However, as it turned out column X in some files was being converted to a DT_NTEXT blob and in other files it was mapped to WSTR. The reason I guess is because column X contained string of varying sizes - some greater than 255 characters while others less than 255 ( max was 3000 ) . My package used a ForEach loop to iterate over all the Excel files in a directory and feed that to the data flow task. I played around with IMEX and TypeGuessRows setting but they didnt help me . In my second approach I used 2 Excel sources ; one set up for the blob type and the other for the string type . I joined them together using a precedence contraint. This worked but I then figured out that there were 2 other columns in my data that exhibited the same behavior. I couldnt continue with the mulitple Excel source approach cause I would then have 8 Excel source components. Finally, I played around with Execute SQL Task . I selected the columns X,Y and Z , initialized 3 variables of type Object , used a ForEach to enumerate over the dataset and feed that to a script component that converted the objects to Strings. This seems to work for all types of data in the mulitple columns.

My question - has anyone encountered such problem ? What was the solution ? Just thought I would share this with the rest of the community. I cant seem to recall what the exact error I was getting ..but it was something like "cant convert long data to string " or something . I also keep getting annoying error icons in my Excel Source components used in the foreach loop. Something to do with acquire connection failed even after I set DelayValidation to "true".

Thanks

SQL 2012 :: Importing Excel Table Into Existing Table?

Aug 25, 2014

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.

Importing From Excel To SQL Server 2005 Express

Jan 18, 2006

I'm trying to import a database. It seems my most likely route is via Excel, so I've moved my tables in there.

Then I tried setting up Excel as a linked server as described in http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q321686

My linked server gets created apparently with no errors, but I can't see any contents when I click on it in the object explorer.

Anyone with more clues than me?

thanks

Importing Excel Data Into SQL Server 2005 With A Twist!

Jun 11, 2007

Hi,
I would like to import an Excel spreadsheet into SQL Server 2005. I can do this quite easily using the Import/Export wizard, and have each row in the spreadsheet transfer to a new row in the database table.
However, I want to import the first few columns of the spreadsheet row into one table (called Products), but put the remaining columns into a related, three-column table, called Product_Details. In the Product_Details table, one column would hold the spreadsheet column value, the other column would be a FK integer value linked to the PK in the Products table, and the third column the primary key as normal.
So, somehow, I would need to get hold of the primary key value when the first spreadsheet columns are inserted into the Products table and then insert the remaining columns into the Product_Details table with two values per row - one value being the spreadsheet cell value, the second being the primary key of the new product in the Products table.
TIA,
Graham.

Sep 3, 2007

Hi all. I want to export data from excel 2003 to sql server 2005. I am using the following script:
EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1;
GO
RECONFIGURE;
GO
EXEC sp_configure 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries', 1;

RECONFIGURE;
GO
Insert into Pamphlet
Select * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'Excel 8.0;Database=C:Pamphlet.xls;HDR=YES', 'SELECT * FROM [Sheet3$]')
But it is giving the following error:
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)" reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)".
The above script is working fine with Excel 2002 but not with 2003. Can someone please provide me exact script of importing data from excel 2003 to sql server 2005. I have also tried the Linked server option but it is still giving the same error.
Please help me.

Importing Excel 2007 And/ Or DBF Files Into SQl Server 2005

May 12, 2007

Greetings,

I'm having a tough time importing some of my legacy database into sql.
I have a number of dbase (IV) files I need to get into SQL. I have tried building a SSIS package with either an foxpro oledb connection or a jet 4.0 one, none of them work bec. of inconsistencies in the data format in my tables (e.g. date fields, etc).

I have tried to save the .dbfs as excel 2007 files, taking advantage of the larger space that comes with '07. Problem is you can't use the import/export wizard with 2007 for some reason and I haven't been able to create a package with the access 12 oledb as I have read.

I have to get some crucial data out of that old system and into the new one and I can't seem to be able to import them properly.

Any hints on what I should do ? (maybe I'm doing something awfully wrong)

Thank you for taking the time to answer my question,
Val
