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.
Regards,
Ronaldlee

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 ?

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...

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Here is the scenario: I have an excel spreadsheet that contains 182 columns, and I need to move this data into a semi-normalized database for reporting. The SQL Server database schema has 11 tables. Some of the tables are going to use identity columns for their PK, other tables are using a value that comes from this spreadsheet for their PK values.Anyway, I have never done a DTS package of any significance before, and know I most likely need to write some VBScript to handle sticking data into the proper data tables, etc.I am just hoping someone can point me at a good resource, give me an alternative means of doing this (this is a process that will need to happen whenever a new Excel spreadsheet is dropped into a folder or on a schedule, either one). I would love to write some C# code to handle these things, but a DTS package would probably be the best, I just don't know where to start.Thanks,

I have an excel document that I need to import into a table. The format of the Excel spreadsheet has three columns:
|First Name | Last Name | Zip code|
This data is not normalized. I want to convert the data in the spreadsheet to foreign key values for two existing tables.
The table I'm importing to will contain records with a many-to-many relationship.
For example,
|John|Smith|77079
imports as:
|1|1|
Where "Smith" is the first record in the 'rep' table and "77079" is the first record in the 'zip' table.
How can I bring the data in and then convert the de-normalized data into ID values from my existing tables?
I have thousands of records that I need to do this for and want to automate the process.
Thanks for any help.

Hello,
I am trying to import a table from Access and/or Excel. I have attempted with both programs. I get errors possibly due to some bad data over the years. Is it possible to tell SQL Server to import a table and discard any errors? or is there a way to scrub the data before importing to make sure all possible causes of errors are corrected or addressed?

I have a Excel 2000 column which looks like this:
Column A

234-67
2-56
354899865
When I create a DTS package to import this column, only the values without a hyphen get imported correctly..and a null value will show for the numbers that have a hyphen in it.
I've set my datatype to varchar, float, nvarchar, text, etc in SQL Server 2000...but nothing seems to work. I have also changed the datatype in my excel spreadsheet to text, general, etc.
I've tried so many combinations, I forget which ones I've tested...Anybody have an idea what I should try ?

Hi,
My excel sheet consists of mix data types, numbers and characters but when we use excel source in data flow it onlys recognises characters and displays number as NULL. After going through this link
http://www.***s-blog.com/archives/2004/06/03/external-data-mixed-data-types/
The above link displays *** in url as it pronounces as deeks, so u need to replace "ee" as "ic" and u can see the blog.
I modified my excel source as Select * from[Excel 8.0;HDR=YES;IMEX=1;Database=C:Test.xls;].[Sheet1$]; It displays all the columns and values properly when previewed but when we execute the package it gives error as
Error: 0xC0202009 at Test, Connection manager "Excel Connection Manager": SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR.
An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21.
