Integration Services :: Filter Out Non-numeric Data
Jul 21, 2015
I have a package that i am building right now and I need to filter out data from my employeeid field that is not an integer. How would i proceed with this? I currently have a conditional split filtering our employee id's that contain a dash.
I'm using SSIS 2005 Enterprise edition, I'm creating a package that reads an excel (xls) file using the "excel source" component, and it dumps the data into an OLEDB destination (a sql server). When I drag the excel source component and create the excel connection to my file the component automatically reads the columns and their datatypes.
The problem is that I have a column which has numeric data and the package uploads as NULL every number that starts with a zero. (note: in excel this column is formatted as "text", despite it has only numbers, because it's the only way excel maintains the left sided zeros).
So I checked the data types by right clicking the excel source component -> show advanced editor and my surprise is that this column's data type is detected as double-precision float, and it doesn't let me change it. URL... but it only works when the first row of data has a number beginning with zero on this column. How to get the data imported correctly?
I 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.
I am wondering if it is possible to use SSIS to sample data set to training set and test set directly to my data mining models without saving them somewhere as occupying too much space? Really need guidance for that.
I am putting a SELECT statement together where I need to evaluate a results field, to determine how the color indicator will show on a SSRS report. I am running into a problem when I try to filter out any non-numeric values from a varchar field, using a nested CASE statement.
For example, this results field may contain values of '<1', '>=1', '1', '100', '500', '5000', etc. For one type of test, I need a value of 500 or less to be shown as a green indicator in a report, and any value over that would be flagged as a red. Another test might only allow a value of 10 or less before being flagged with a red.
This is why I setup a CASE statement for an IndicatorValue that will pass over to the report to determine the indicator color. Using CASE statements for this is easier to work with, and less taxing on the report server, if done in SQL Server instead of nested SSRS expressions, especially since a variety of tests have different result values that would be flagged as green or red.
I have a separate nested CASE statement that will handle any of the values that contain ">" or "<", so I am using the following to filter those out, and then convert it to an int value, to determine what the indicator value should be. Here is the line of the script that is erring out"
case when (RESULT not like '%<%') or (RESULT not like '%>%') then CASE WHEN (CONVERT(int, RESULT) between 0 and 500) THEN '2' ELSE '0'
The message I am getting is: Conversion failed when converting the varchar value '<1' to data type int.
I thought a "not like" statement would not include those values for converting to an int, but that does not seem to be working correctly. I did also try moving the not to show as "not RESULT like", and that did not change the message.
How I can filter out non-numeric values before converting the rest of the varchar field (RESULT) to int, so that it is only converting actual numbers?
I have SSAS cube with Fact that include values in kg (e.g. 25.3, 32.5, 18,3...).What kind of attribute or other solution should I create If I want to filter those kg's in browser with integer values e.g.:weight between 10 and 25
I have to display the data in the below said formats..Current sample Data in the table and the data type is numeric(23,10)
50.00 0.50 0.00 0.00
To be displayed in the below format
1.25 0.75 0 0 1
I have to map this column in teh report and should dipslay like above.I think if 0.00 is available then it should display as 0..If 1.0 is available then it should display 1.Any value that has postive number after the decimal should display all the values example : 2.25,3.75,5.06, So in general the solution to display values like 1.75,1,0 we should not dispaly 0 as 0.00 and 1 as 1.00 and 2 as 2.00 and so on...Any Solutions in terms of SQL query or SSRS expression.
I have an entity (A), in which I use domain based attribute. The second entity (B) has several attributes. My problem is that, I would like to filter the first entity (A) based on an attribute that belongs to the second entity. The only way I can filter it (in MDS Excel add-in or Explorer) is by using Code or Name from the second entity.
I have in mind a couple of solutions, but they require some coding with xml saved query from Excel.
when I run below query I got Error of Arithmetic overflow error converting numeric to data type numeric declare @a numeric(16,4)
set @a=99362600999900.0000
The 99362600999900 value before numeric is 14 and variable that i declared is of 16 length. Then why this error is coming ? When I set Length 18 then error removed.
I'm getting the above when trying to populate a variable. The values in question are : @N = 21 @SumXY = -1303765191530058.2251000000 @SumXSumY = -5338556963168643.7875000000
When I run, SELECT (@N * @SumXY) - (@SumXSumY * @SumXSumY) in QA I get the result OK which is -28500190448996439680147097583285.072256 ie 32 places to left of decimal and 6 to the right When I try the following ie to populate a variable with that value I get the error - SELECT R2Top = (@N * @SumXY) - (@SumXSumY * @SumXSumY)@R2Top is NUMERIC (38, 10)
I'm using Script Component to load data into Oracle DB due to the poor performance issue. Now, I found it will missing some data during the transmission. Please see the screenshot below:
I setup this package to import data from a Sharepoint list to a SQL Server data table. The primary key of my SQL table is mapped to the Title column of my Sharepoint list. There is a possibility that duplicate values will be entered in the Title field of the Sharepoint list. So when importing data into my table via SSIS, my package always error-out when there it comes across duplicate values. how you others have managed data integrity when importing from a Sharepoint list with the Title column being mapped to the primary key of a table.
I have to value [CreateDate] in the data pump of my Flat File Source into my OLE DB Destination SQL Server Table. With a Variable within the SSIS Package or with a Derived Column task within the Data Flow between the Flat File Source and OLE DB Destination?
Please help! I am trying to import data from an ODBC data source to a SQL Server database using Integration Services. I am new to SQL Server 2005 but all was working happily on 2000 using DTS.
I am trying to follow the tutorials using a data flow task but cannot get my ODBC database into the connection managers tab, because OLE DB for ODBC isn't one of the options! Am I missing something? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated as I am struggling to come to terms with 2005 and cannot migrate the 2000 DTS packages
Hi, I have a question regarding the Integration Services Data Types.
From http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms141036(d-printer).aspx, I found a table that shows me the Mapping of Integration Services Data Types to Database Data Types.
For example, how the DT_BOOL Data Type maps to bit for SQL Server.
In this case, I am okay, as I know exactly what the mapping is, however, for some of the datatypes, I do not.
Here is an example. The DT_CY datatype maps to smallmoney and money ... how do I know which one to map to? For me, which one I map to does indeed matter because their representation is different.
DT_NUMERIC maps to decimal and numeric ... this one does not matter as much
DT_STR/DT_WSTR ... I need to know whether its char, varchar, ncahr, or nvarchar for padding purposes mostly.
I am having a requirement where I need to load the correct data into the target table and needs to save the bad data for analysis, how can I do that in SSIS.
Hi friends , Can any buddy tell me how can i update a particular table by integration services.... I just need to update some of column value
if i write query ...i need to write approx 35 update statement (Query) So is there is any way by which i can replace existing data to my current data .
I'm using - Destination - Oracle driver - oraOLEDB.Oracle.1 (native ole dboracle provider for ole db)
Source - SQL driver - microsoft ole db prover for sql server. I want to import data from sql server to oracle. Challenge is, I have 1 million records on oracle. I have 100 records on sql server (these 100 records count will change daily). So, I thought of using 'lookup' task looking taking record from ms sql and fetch corresponding record from oracle. But when I use lookup, all records from oracle are loading into cache, which is taking approx 3 hrs.
I have a requirement to compare data between two tables in SQL Server.
What is the fastest way to do it using SSIS? There are approx 6~7 millions of records in each table.
My solution: Read both the tables and store the data in Object Type variable. Then run an except query. But I am stuck at except query part. How do I implement it?
Im newto SSIS. I want to develop package for data validation.
FirstName
1. Mandatory field checking: if Null, reject the record 2. If field length > 50, then reject the record
SSN
1. If field length > 12, then reject the record 2. If SSN is not in valid format, issue warning and process rhe record without SSN value. 3. Valid format: 9 digit numeric values should present after striping off all non-numeric characters. 4. Only send 9 digits to MDM
Like these i have 30 rules. And I have to shop the error msg if the validation fails like "Mandatory feild is missing".
I've got a problem to retrieve data from a Xml Source. Basically, I call a method from a Web Service which gives me a Xml file.
The problem is that the XML structure is not really good. But we can't touch it.
Here is the Xml File :
Code Snippet
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?> <ArrayOfWSTargetVO xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> <WSTargetVO> <ProjectId> <Value>131</Value> </ProjectId> <Id> <Value>Toto</Value> </Id> <Name> <Value>bateau</Value> </Name> </WSTargetVO> <WSTargetVO> <ProjectId> <Value>131</Value> </ProjectId> <Id> <Value>Tata</Value> </Id> <Name> <Value>F35</Value> </Name> </WSTargetVO> ... </ArrayOfWSTargetVO> As you can see, for each WSTargetVO, we have a projectid, an id and a name. But the value is not directly put into these nodes but in a new one : <value>
That causes my problem because here is the xsd file generated by visual studio :
Code Snippet
<?xml version="1.0"?> <xsd:schema xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" attributeFormDefault="unqualified" elementFormDefault="qualified"> <xs:element name="ArrayOfWSTargetVO"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" name="WSTargetVO"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element minOccurs="0" name="ProjectId"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element minOccurs="0" name="Value" type="xs:unsignedByte" /> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> <xs:element minOccurs="0" name="Id"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element minOccurs="0" name="Value" type="xs:string" /> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> <xs:element minOccurs="0" name="Name"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element minOccurs="0" name="Value" type="xs:string" /> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> </xsd:schema> And when I try to use the outpul results from the Xml file, I can't see how I can get a datatable with three columns corresponding to projectid, id and name.
Integration Services only asks me to choose between WSTargetVO or ProjectID or Id or Name and give me the <value> value.
I don't know if it is possible to modifiy the contents of the XmlFile or something else using XPath.
Of course, if I try to modifiy the XSD file and delete the value node to have a simple structure, I see my three columns but i can't get any data.
I'm aware that the XML file is pretty bad but it is impossible for me to change it.
If somebody has an idea, I would be happy to hear it :-)
I have a data in excel sheet which is to be loaded to sql table. The Column called seq_num has data with leading 0's these 0's are ignored while loading through ssis.
Example if seq_num is like 0099988 the sql table would get 99988, how to get the whole data with missing anything.
FYI: seq_num on excel source has a data type as dt_r8.
So I have to make a fairly dynamic Data flow. I will get the most of the configuration from a database table. I will look up the name of the procedure to run as a source (I can use expressions or a script component source for this), I will lookup columns names from a database table.I can use expressions (maybe) or a destination script component for the destination including the destination table name and column names, these will be looked up in a database table.What I am not sure is how I will do the mapping. How can I make this dynamic? The logic for mapping will be in the database as well. Could I create a custom dataflow all in one script? A source, destination and mappings all in one script? Is there an example of this out there.my task ios to make the data flow completely dynamic.all config info would be kept in a SQL Server database.A complete custom script component dataflow task.
when executing my data flow package that contains only one source and one destination
OLE db source -> SQL server destination
the following errors occurs in my output
Error: 0xC0202009 at Data Flow Task(infraction action), SQL Server Destination [3600]: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E14.
Error: 0xC0202071 at Data Flow Task(infraction action), SQL Server Destination [3600]: Unable to prepare the SSIS bulk insert for data insertion.
Error: 0xC004701A at Data Flow Task(infraction action), DTS.Pipeline: component "SQL Server Destination" (3600) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC0202071.
i've checked the structure of my source and destination table but nothing seems to be wrong
if someone have ever faced these errors help me :D
I have two tables that I UNION to retrieve data for users. A combination of these should have only one employee in the table. The problem is there is a unique id created for the position of instructors. In the other table, it holds all employees with an employee number. Some data such as username, email address, etc., does not change. So even though UNION should remove duplicates, I still have duplicates because of usernames is what I'm filtering on, it is the same in each table. In the combined table I'm only selecting specific employees based on Job class and Job code. For employee id in the first table it is preceeded with 'B', and the second by 'T' (this is only to identify which table the data is taken from). Here is what I am getting when I Union both tables.
query SELECT distinct 'B-'+ Employee_ID as Employee_ID , Username ,Email
I was working on a logic which I am not able to code after many attempts. I have an Excel sheet(Base_Data.xlsx) with two sheets as "Mapping" & "Data" with the below data:
I have created a SSIS package that runs several reports exporting the file output to a shared directory. Then I email these files as attachments to an email group. I got everything working so far. But when I checked the email there are only some of the attachments (3 out of 6 files).I have created a variable that uses an expression to concatenate several filenames and their paths separated with a "|". When I evaluate the expression it list all six files. When I use the variable in an expression when assigning the "FileAttachments" property in the Expressions tab in the Send Mail Task editor and I evaluate the expression, it only shows 3 out of the 6 files.
Each file name and path is less than 100 characters. Why is this task only grabbing 3 out of the 6 files. If I check the shared directory all 6 files are there. Also, there are two paths in the package that input into the Send Mail Task each creating a different set of report files. Only one of the paths files are getting attached. The connectors to the Send Mail Task are set as Evaluation operation: "Constraint" and the Value: "Completion". Under Multiple constraints I have selected "Logical AND, All constraints must evaluate to True".
