I want to import data from excel (1.2 million rows in 1 sheet) to SQL Server 2014 database. I am using SQL Server 2014 Import Export Data functionality and getting this error - unexpected unrecoverable error.
3 buttons beside it - abort, retry, ignore - all having the import export to close.
But I could successfully import data from excel file having less rows (150000 rows)
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$]; It displays all the columns and values properly when previewed but when we execute the package it gives error as
Error: 0xC0202009 at Test, Connection manager "Excel Connection Manager": SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR.
An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21.
Please help
Thanks
Hey guys,I am trying to import data from an Excel spreadsheet into my SQLdatabase. I am running SQL 2005.I following Microsoft's instructions for creating a linked server, andit appeared to work. However when I run this query:SELECT * INTO test FROM OPENQUERY(EFORMS,'SELECT * FROM [Form Tracker Baseline$]')I get the following error:The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server"EFORMS" reported an error. The provider did not give any informationabout the error.Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider"Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "EFORMS".Test is the table that will receive the imported data. Eforms is thename of my linked server, and Form Tracker Baseline is the worksheetname.The error sounds like it can not locate my spreadsheet. Any ideas whyI am getting this message? Is there an easier way to do this import?Thanks,

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',

@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 ?
Hello all:
I have gone through most of the question posed by people, about importing data from EXCEL sheet to some table using SQL server database. I have a slight variation of this problem.
My excel file contains some information apart from the normal data.
Lets say some 5-6 lines always gives me some info about the data, like its purpose, client info, date etc...
After this INFO my actually data start, which I want to load into table.
I have found some wizard for the same, "EMS SQL MANAGER 2005", which supports most of the file formats, and load data into the database.
But we are planning to not use this tool, instead everything should be done using TSQL.
If somebody can please gives me some idea how this problem can be tackle, it would be a great help. We won't be using any Third party tools, like scripting etc...
We want to stick with just TSQL for this problem.
Thanks a bunch,
sabegh

Hi everyone, sorry if this message is not supposed to be posted here.
I'm learning asp.net , and would like to know how I can insert data from a excel file into a database on my web account. Pretty much insert/update information in the database using excel file or a access file.
Thanks a lot in advance
i have an excel sheet
in it there is a column that holds values of item numbers
some of these values are preceeded with zeros E.G "00123" (with out the ")
when i view the data in excel i get this little green corner whice states (when pressed) that these values are numbers stoerd as text.
no inside the excel sheet i have no problem with that
but when i try to import the excel sheet into ssis using an excel source task
all these values are imported as nulls!!!
i am lost
i tried converting the format of these cells to numbers but then i loose the leading zeros
what i done temporarly to solve this problem is to accept excel's suggestion and turn these values into numbers
i then import them and convert them to strings in ssis and then ad dthe zeros.
now althouge this works, this isnt realy a solution.
i canot manualy correct each excel file each time i get a new copy
and in the future i will not have the luxuery of having fixed lenght values (so i wont be able to know how many zeroe i"d need to add)
there must be a better way
please help
thanks in advance

Can anyone help?

Hi i have an excel spreadsheet in which I want to take the data and put them in a table, the table and excel speadsheet have the same unique-ID, what i need to do is retrieve the extra fields of the excel spreadsheet and match them up with the table. Is this possible, if so how?
View 6 Replies View RelatedHere 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,
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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|

Hi,
I need to import data from excel to sql database. I have an excel that has a column called dept_name that is a string.
In the database I have a table called tb_depts with the following columns:
dept_id int, identity
dept_name nvarchar (200)
In addition I have another table called tb_extUsers with the following columns:
user_id int, identity
user_name nvarchar (200)
dept_id int
I need to import the excel into the table tb_extUsers however my problem is that the value in excel is the name of the department and not the department id and the column in tb_extUsers requires the id.
How can i insert the correct dept_id into tb_extUsers ?
Can someone please assist me?

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

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
23456
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 ?
Thank you

My issue involves importing data from excel into MS SQL properly.
Currently I am using MSSQL Standard Edition, ASP Pages and VBScript together to allow users of my site to upload excel sheets with a specific column header arrangement and the subsequent data below.
The issue I am having is that even with the data formatted (General, text, or any other ways I have tried), MS SQL still does not recognize most of the data in the cells. Mainly data in the first column, the rest of the columns seem not to have as much of an issue.
Problem being is that the data consists of numbers and letters, more specifically part numbers. These part numbers can be a wide range of combinations of say 12HJ78UY-001 or NT78E64AA. If it is pure numbers such as 0983465, then it imports perfect, but if there are numbers and letters mixed then MS SQL places a <NULL> in the field instead.
I thought it was the VBScript, so I took one of the excel files and manually imported it into its own table into MS SQL. The exact same problem occurred.
I exported the data in the excel sheet to a text file (tab delimited), then imported it into a new table into MS SQL, it worked perfect. No data problems whatsoever.
I have even converted the data to a text file, copied it all, then performed a “Paste Special” (which I know my users will never do) on a new fresh Excel sheet, and MS SQL still cannot read the information properly, I get the <NULL>.
Currently everything I have is automated and I need to keep it that way, but I cannot seem to find an automated solution to convert xls to txt or make MS SQL read these excel sheets properly.
Any ideas? Thank you very much in advance if you have the answer.
