Integration Services :: How To Load Similar Excel Files Into Database Table
Aug 25, 2015
have an excel file which contains lots of sheets. Some of them are named as DW-<day>-<month> (for e.g; DW-1-July). Like this I have sheets for the whole month. I have other sheets too with a different name. I would like to import data from these sheets only (DW ones). Upon my research I have found that this can be achieved via For Each Loop Container.
I have 2 different excel files file1 and file2. file1 should be loaded to table1 and file2 should be loaded to table2. Both of the files will have 1 sheet inside. Do I need to create separate excel source for file1 and file2? I mean file1 in one excel source and that will be connecting to 1 execute sql task. file2 in other excel source and that will be connecting to another execute sql task. Is this the way I should proceed or is there any looping should be done? I need to schedule this activity to run every week. So, I'll get new files every week with the same file names and sheet names. Do I need to consider anything for this requirement also?
I'm planning to do truncate and reload not an incremental load.
I have multiple excel Files each has one sheet (With same column names) need to be loaded in a single table. I tried For each loop but couldn't succeed.
As I am new to SSIS. How to configure For each loop container for this...
I have a requirement to load multiple flat files in target table .
I have created the package which used to load files into target table using For each loop container.
But now requirement has been changed now I have to take only those files from table where status="Success" and max JobId. By the query I am to get those records which need to load into table.
Below query I am using to get the files which need to load.
select [JobLogKey],[SrcNm],[DestNm] FROM [ConfigRep].[dbo].[JobLog] Where [JobId]= (Select Max(cast([JobId] as Int)) Jobid FROM [ConfigRep].[dbo].[JobLog] Where [JobStat]='Success')
I have to load using above 2 files which are under SrcNm. I have created one variable called FileToLoad as Object and mapping to result set of above query. I have create JobId,SrcNm and DestNm variable to catch the record at every loop. I have created 2 For each Loop container
Below screen shot of outer Foreach loop. Till here Its working fine. Inner for each loop container not executing any task under that. How to get it done.
i want to load these three files three different destinations customer file should go one destination table, employee file should go one destination table, student file should go one destination table tomorrow if i get some more files in same folder , those files also should go separate destinations these should happen dynamically.
I have one small requirement.. I want to load the different types of files(.txt, .csv, .tsv, .xlsx).
Using one forearch loop container how can I load the files to database and I shouldn't use the script task to split the filenames. Is there any other way to load all the files using forearch loop container, exesql task..
Client uses an Amazon S3 bucket which they load flats files to . They also expect files to be delivered there to.So at the minute I have an SSIS package (SQL2012 ) which I use to generate some files but then have to manually import the files to the S3 bucket as well as export others.Now Mike Yin ( For SQL2008R2 ) mentioned that you need to obtain PostgreSQL ODBC driver so that you can use the .Net ProvidersOdbc Data Provider for ADO.NET Source component to connect to the Amazon cloud storage. After that, you can use a OLE DB Destination to load the data to SQL Server database.
Installed both 32 and 64bit 9.03. New connection Manager ADO.NET - New then drop the provider down to ODBC.Dataprovider.Then what ? Do I put the S3 bucket address within the use connection string ? Is there and example ? Why do I need the PostgreSQL ODBC as Im not connecting to a database just a S3 Bucket?
We have a few customers dropping files in Amazon S3. how to load this data into SQL Server 2008 R2 database using SSIS? We are 2008 R2 BIDS environment.

I am trying to load a simple Excel file into a Database table and the SSIS Package is not loading any records beyond 3233 records. I am just surprised. I tried using the "IMEX=1" mentioned in some of the online resources but it didn't work. I am using an Excel Source, a Data Conversion Transformation and an OLEDB Destination in my package in SQL Server 2014 (which is pretty simple and straightforward).The Excel file I am trying to load can be found here.
And, here is my table structure.
CREATE TABLE [gov].[loan_limits]( [FIPS_State_Code] [varchar](3) NOT NULL, [FIPS_County_Code] [varchar](3) NOT NULL, [County_Name] [varchar](50) NOT NULL, [State] [varchar](2) NOT NULL, [CBSA_Number] [varchar](6) NOT NULL,
I want to load flat files into a single table. But the flat files can have variable number of columns upto a maximum of 10 columns. The table in my database has 10 columns in it. So in case if I load a flat file having 6 columns then rest of the columns in the table will have nulls. I don't want to use script task for this as I am not good in writing C#code.
I have a situation where I want to load the Excel file dynamically, and the excel file have different columns or even worksheet name. How I could approach this? I believe there's no way to modify the meta data (specifically the mapping) in the data flow.
My Requirement ,In Source Database 5 tables are there ( Emp,Loc,dept,Time,Product ), Destination is Single Excel file.But Dynamically how to load each table information to load into each sheet wise through SSIS Package?
I am trying to load data from Excel 2007 version into SQL server 2014 DB. I am getting below error" SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRE CONNECTION FROM CONNECTIONMANAGER. The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009. There may be error messages posted before this with more information on why the AcquireConnection method call failed".I have tried all options like changing Delay Validation is TRUE and in properties i changed runtime 64 bit to FALSE but still getting above error.
I have a simple SSIS package that reads a flat file and copies it into a SQL Server table.
When the flat fiel is on the C drive I have no problem runnign this package from SQL Server Agent, but as soon as I update the path to a network location the package only works when I run it manually, but fails when is executed via the SQL Server agent job.
The error says "cannot open the datafile", while the datafile location is valid.
Is this a kind of limitation of a SQL Server Agent that only local files are allowed to be processed?
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.
I have several regular reports that are produced by different offices that I need to import the data from. The challenge lies in the fact that the reports are not simply columns of data. Some cells are labels, others contain data, and some contain both. Also, the formatting of the reports isn't strictly uniform from office to office. Is it possible to read this kind of sheet? Excel data sources seem to just define everything in a column as data, and that doesn't work for me. Is there an alternative, or perhaps a more manual way of defining what cells contain data?
Here's my need : In one directory there's several excels file. Theses file have the same structure : col : LOOKID, LOOKNAME, ASMPID, ASMPNAME, LOOKTYPE, LTYP_NAME, PAR_TYPE, PTYP_NAME, PARAMETER, VALUE. The problem is that the cell format of the PARAMETER col. is different bewteen excel files. It could be date, numeric, ... The col destination in sqlservr database is Varchar(10).
I've created the ssis package with a ForEach Loop, and in the ForEach loop I've created a Data Flow Task. In the data Flow Task I've created an excell source file (using excel file with col PARAMETER in date format) with an OLE DB destination.
When I launch the package on the same excel file as the one using to create Excel Source object it's OK, no errors, and data in the sql table are OK. But when I launch the package on Excel file with col. PARAMETER in numeric format, there's no execution errors, but in the destination table the value of the PARAMETER col. is transform in date format.
I tried to change in Excel source object the datatype of the input PARAMETER col, but I've got some compilations errors. It seems that SSIS recognize automaticaly excel source data type col. But may be I did something wrong in the excel source settings ? Is there a way to force the excel source datatype with varchar(10) ?
I've also tried to do the treatment with an script task but my vb.net knowledge isn't enought to do that.
I am getting the following error when trying to load multiple excel files using for each loop container in SSIS, I tried to put the quotes in several different ways but still can't get rid of this error. I was able to successfully load single excel file, but when I use the for each loop container that's when I am having problems. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thx.
Error at Package1 [Connection manager "SourceConnectionExcel"]: The connection string components cannot contain unquoted semicolons.

I have a transaction table having about 40 crore rows in source. It don't have timestamp and unique key columns. It have only Bill_month and Bill_Year columns. Actually for loading this table into staging I have added a new datetime column by adding default bill_date as 01. Then
* First we delete last 3 month data from staging tables. * Get last 3 months data from source table. * Load that 3 months data from source to staging table.
We do this because we only get update for last three months data. Now I have to include this transaction table as Fact table in DW. What will be the best practice for loading the fact table by picking data form staging table. Also we have to look up with dimensions for Foreign Keys.
* Should I implement the same method of deleting last 3 months records and loading them again.
I have a SSIS package which reads an excel file and loads data into a table using script component(C#) as a source. The package runs without any errors when I manually run it on my machine and on the server. But the package fails when run as a SQL Server Agent job.
I tried all the possible fixes I found on the web but still can't get it to work.

I am having difficulties loading data from a flat file to a SQL Database. I am able to load some data but the rest gets kicked out for the following reasons:
1 – The field is varchar 50 and I would like to convert it to a date field 2 – The field contain periods (.) (Only 1 period in each row) 3 – The field contain blanks (NULLS)
How do I create a derived column that will bypass blanks (Nulls) and remove periods (.) in each row then convert column to a date field in SSIS? Looking for steps to create a derived date column using SSIS (derived task); convert it to a date column (09-19-2015); use functions to redirect the nulls and possibly remove the period (.)?
[b][u]Sample Data[/u][/b] Column 3 (Varchar 50) Need to convert to date; remove periods, and bypass nulls(blanks) Blank . Blank . Blank Blank . 01-19-2015 01-19-2015 Blank . Blanlk . Blank 01-19-2015 . Blank .

In this scenario, how to load tab1 data into the same table in destination and so on.
Which way will be more standard to accomplish this task? If its a script task using C#, looking for clear script to identify a value changes in the first column.
We are using SQL Server 2014 and SSDT-BI 2013. We have a reporting environment where business users create objects which need to be persisted for fiscal year reporting. Let's say for instance SQLSERVER1SRVR1 they create table objects like below in the reporting environment.
Accounting2014, Accounting2015 in AccountingDB; Sales2014, Sales2015 in SalesDB; Products2014, Products2015 in ProductsDB; Inventory2014, Inventory2015 in InventoryDB etc....
These tables are persisted for auditing in a different environment SQLSERVER2SRVR2 for finance & audit folks.We would want to automate this process using SSIS to create tables in corresponding database and load data. I tried using For Each Loop container but the catch is I could loop the source or destination but how do we loop on Source & Destination at the same time (i.e when source is in AccountingDB destination to be AccountingDB, source SalesDB then destination SalesDB so on etc....
We have created SSIS package to load a text file into a table. Source system shares 10 text files and recently they stopped generating data for one of the text file (comping empty), after few months they will start generating the data for the empty file batch processing.
The Issue here is Data Flow task is getting failed while loading empty text file into table. How to handle this empty file load issue in SSIS package.
