Source=" + @[User::VarInputExcelFile] + ";Extended Properties="EXCEL 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1";"
by doing the above setting also , the column is coming as null from excel source even though there is data in excel.
We are running 2014 enterprise. I noticed recently that my spreadsheet's column A, while not being used by user, doesn't show up in excel source preview. F1 is column B and so on.

View 4 Replies View RelatedIn SSIS 2008R2, I have a dataflow with an xlsx source and the destination is a SQL Server 2008R2 table. The files are delivered from a location where staff members 'work with' the source files. The files are produced monthly.
The dataflow that contains the file breaks upon the attempt to process subsequent monthly xlsx files with a message similar to the following:
--*************
[TNUQQ [16]] Warning: The external columns for component "TNUQQ" (16) are out of synchronization with the data source columns. The column "F12" needs to be added to the external columns.
The external column "county_taxable_sale_amount" needs to be updated.
The external column "city_taxable_sale_amount" needs to be updated.
The external column "district_taxable_sale_amount" needs to be updated.
The external column "QTY" (62) needs to be removed from the external columns.
--*************
I've noticed that some columns in the file ship with no data. A column with no data can be typed as datetime one month, and then float another month. I've tried to load xlsx to raw to table, but that does not work around this issue.
I've tried to set 'ValidateExternalMetadata' to 'False' on the Excel source, but that does not work either. Aside from going back to the folks who ship the file to us, is there anything that can be done in SSIS to work around this issue, and still wind up with valid data?
Have to create SSIS package for the below requirement:
I have source data in 2 excel files. Data from both these excel files should be loaded to the same single Fact table.
The column names in excel files and table are not same. I have a Reference table which has the column mappings between excel and Fact Table.
I have to refer this Reference Tabel for column mappings, plus i have to add some derived columns (Created_Date) to load the Fact_Table.
I have given a sample data structure below:
Source Data
Excel1_Order.xls
OrderNumber OrderQuantity OrderDate
Order10001 100 01-01-2011
Excel2_Customer.xls
CustomerNumber CustomerName CustomerAddress
[Code] ....
Is there any way to handle this in SSIS?

I am loading data using SSIS 2008 from a table in SQL Server 2008 DB to excel 97 sheet pre-defined with column headers. All the columns in excel is has 'Text' format property and the columns in the SQL Server table are defined as nVarchar. One of the columns has trailing spaces in few rows in DB but after exporting to excel 97, the spaces are gone. We need to retain the whitespaces in the column values. How can we do that.

Hi,
I'm having dificulties in loading data into a table coming from an excel file because one of the columns is a text based with an average of 1024 characters... How can i import that column? The excel source always shows me the column as a DT_WSTR of 255 characters...

I'm new to SSIS, using Terdata Attunity connector for integrating data flow between Terdata (source) to SQL Server (Target).
SSIS package is getting failed because of length mismatch between source and Target for Unicode character datatype columns. Reason is Teradata TPT always occupies 3 times more length of actual defined in DB.
Even I tried by increasing length of attribute in Source but it didn't work.
I know by converting datatype from unicode -> Latin would work, but i don't want to do conversion since loosing some characters.
##################################################
Error is
[Teradata Source [263]] Error: TPT Export error encountered during Initiate phase. TPTAPI_INFRA: API306: Error: Conflicting data length for column(5) - Source column's data length is (200) Target column's data length is (300).

I'm trying to import data in Excel into SQL Server table which you would think would be an absolute doddle seeing as they're both key Microsoft products in the BI family..One of the columns in Excel spreadsheet is Comments1 and a couple of the values in this column are over 300 characters in length yet when I set up the Excel source and then open Advanced Editor and look at Input and output properties this column has a data-type of Unicode string [DT_WSTR] with length of 255 which leads to the truncated error in the title.
I've researched this and on find going into the registry and updating the TypeGuessRows value from 8 to zero. I've done this and yet the data-type is still showing as Unicode string [DT_WSTR] with length of 255. I've even moved the row with the largest number of characters to the top of the spreadsheet and changed the TypeGuessRows value to 1 but the data-type still stays the same.I can't believe that it's soooo difficult to import data from one of Microsoft's key BI applications to another using their 'world-class' integration tool.
I'm trying to execute a simple VBS file from the Executable command line in the Execute Process Task Editor.
My line is this : cscript.exe "c:convertcsvssisXlsToCsv.vbs"
SSIS keeps saying there are illegal characters here. I've Googled and looked about 20 articles and I can't resolve it.
I have a ForEach that loops through Excel files and changes them to CSV files using code i found. This script takes an original Excel file and transfers it to a new CSV file in a new directory.
So in DOS at the CMD line I would type : XlsTocsv.vbs originalfile.xls newfile.csv
I have the original file and new file in the Arguments line so I'm assuming that after the script executes it will look at the filepaths in the loop and loop through them so I want it do to this when it runs:
XlsTocsv.vbs [User::@ExcelFile] [User::@CSVFile]
I just can't get it to execute and I keep getting illegal characters.
I have a excel file which has a column called "Code" and their values are A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H. I want to create a new column called "status" based on the values of "Code".
Code:
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
H
If A,C,E,G then "status" = "Active" else if B,D,F,H then "Status" = "Inactive". I like to do it using "Derived Column".
We'll be using 2014 enterprise to populate some excel spreadsheets. We may not have the option of using ssrs so here is the question.
The excel spreadsheets have some pretty fancy heading structures, multiple tabs and in a few cases graphs that i'm sure are dependent on data sitting somewhere in the spreadsheet. The heading have variable info in them (eg FYxx where xx is a parameterized fiscal year, month names etc). Sometimes those headings have sub headings (with variable info) and so on.
Generally speaking how (if at all) do folks deal with this kind of excel challenge when limited to using ssis? I don't know if templates are going to be a good idea. I don't know if i'll be looking at a fair amount of c# etc code behind the scenes. I can be more specific depending on the feedback.
This is part of a conversion from 2 of the larger BI and statistical tools out there to the MS sql stack. Obviously with some shortcuts that we may wish we didn't take.
I am getting 3 sheets in an excel file. But only the sheet1 contains data and the rest are blank. I want to delete Sheet2 and Sheet3 from excel file using SSIS.

I'm trying to extract the SharePoint List data into excel file using SSIS package. I'm using SharePoint 2013 and BI 2008 R2. how to do it.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am developing a SSIS package with VS2013 to send data from SQL Server 2014 to an Excel Destination. But in the SSIS package, from the excel destination advanced editor, when I set the format of the excel destination external columns to double precision float DT_R8, it is returned to DT_WSTR automatically.Due to that, data sent to Excel are not processed as numeric but as text and formatted as such. I need the column to be created as numeric.

However, I need to push data into 3rd row of excel sheet(I need to write some description and titles in the first two rows) .I need to do this inorder to automate the process of producting the excel which has predefined pivot tables. I only need to update the excel sheet with raw data( 3rd row) which drives the pivot tables. How do I do this? How do i push into the third row instead of first?

Using excel connection to load data to SQL Server When I try doing this character data is loading as nulls, I have tried by putting IMEX=1 property in connection string and removing IMEX=1 property from connection string , in both cases it is showing nulls, in the data viewer which i have placed after Excel source. I have also tried using the OPENROWSET which for some reason does not create an adhoc connection. I also tried changing the Datatypes in the advanced editor which again throws error. For some reason SSIS excel connection reads only the first 8 rows and decides a datatype and rest showup NULL.
