I am using a Excel Source to get the data from an excel file to sql server 2005 table. A couple columns are coming in a double precision float, but some values have characters in them, but those values are coming out as null, even though I changed the datatype from float to unicode string. Any inputs on resolving this will be much appreciated.
my dba folks are coming back with an answer to a question that sounds strange and I thought I would check on here.
Situation.
We are using an ETL tool I developed to move data around and building a DW on 2005. In some cases we are using the bulk loader to load and in some cases the tool itself.
One of the defaults of the tool is to truncate trailing blanks....and so fields that contain only blanks get truncated to a zero length character string.
When reloading the data with the tool it carries a null indicator next to the field value so the zero length character string is loaded as not null.
When loading with the bulk loader the dbas are telling me that the field is translated to a null. Note that they want some fields translated to null so they are using the keepnulls parameter.
On other databases (and built into the tool because this is so) the bulk loaders usually allow the specification of the load statement at column level and the specification of a 'null character sting' to be translated to null if this string is found. I put an example below.
I seem to recall that SQL Server 7 had some sort of bulk loader that allowed specification of columns at column level......for example offsets or whatever and the specification of fields to be interpreted as nulls. (Though that was a long time ago.)
I have searched through the manual and I don't see an option there any more to specify a character that will be interpreted to a null by the bulk loader.
Is it possible in 2005 to specify a character such that when the bulk loader sees it the field will be set to null?? And not just set fields to null which are not present in the load file?
(Just by the way, we are going to make the truncate trailing blanks optional and it's easy....it's just that I thought this kind of null if option was available in 2005 and I am keen to know if it is not there, either gone or never was...)
Thanks in Advance and Best Regards
Peter
Example of how Oracle does it...on page
http://www.csee.umbc.edu/help/oracle8/server.815/a67792/ch05.htm#5754 NULLIF Keyword Use the NULLIF keyword after the datatype and optional delimiter specification, followed by a condition. The condition has the same format as that specified for a WHEN clause. The column's value is set to null if the condition is true. Otherwise, the value remains unchanged. NULLIF field_condition
The NULLIF clause may refer to the column that contains it, as in the following example: COLUMN1 POSITION(11:17) CHAR NULLIF (COLUMN1 = "unknown")
I am writing a SSIS package to load a lot of Excel files. I use SQL statement to select the Excel data. However, I found it's hard to dynamical set the table name (Excel Tab name) - the user name the Tab differently.
I have an xls spreadsheet with multiple worksheets. From each worksheet I need to load the data into sql server. The data I need to retrieve from each worksheet is not row by row, but cell by cell. For example, I need to load data from cells C44, G65, I23, A78, etc. in all the worksheets. Is this possible using SSIS?
We did the development of SSIS packges on 32 bit machine. We have few excel files which is loaded using SSIS. Now the same was deployed to anothe rmachine(64 bit). This 64-bit machine does not have Microsoft office installed. And all packages(which loads excel files) failed. Hence can someone answer my following questions:-
1) In order to load excel files using SSIS, is it necessary that Microsoft excel software should be installed on that machine?
2) If answer to above is yes, Can Microsoft excel viewer be used instead of Microsoft office(excel)?
I have a simple loading to excel destination. It has 900,000 records. In 66,000+ records, i has an error

I assume that this is caused by the no. of records im loading since the .xls file can only contain 65,000 records.... i tried using the .xlsx file but i guess it only accepts .xls.
What's the alternative to load to excel 2005 with this numbers of records?
I need to be able to load data from an Excel spreadsheet into SQL Server via a web application. I was able to load the spreadsheet data into the application and store it into a DataSet. How do I get the data in the dataset into a table in SQL Server?
I insert/update thousands of line items daily to my MS SQL 2k db each day from multiple excel sheets that are uploaded. In Microsoft's infinite wisdom Excel and MS SQL is not "Fully" compatible and some characters throw off the uploads, cause errors in loading, etc. Each Excel sheet has from a few rows up to 50,000 rows or more. We load around 100 of these Excel sheets each day depending on what our users upload.
Our main problem appears to be with "Special Characters", anything that is not a number or letter seems to be an issue in loads. We have written our scripts to ignore a certain set of characters such as #,!, -, ', ", [, ], {, }, +, =, *, %, ~, `, <,>, etc. But we still get errors. This has become a frustrating nightmare. Any help in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
I have tried ASP scripts, VB created exe's, converting the Excel sheet to a text file, then uploading, and other various means to get this process error free. Some files never have issues loading, some excel files will error out and not at the same point each time. We can run the same file 5 times in a row and it will stop/error at a different point each time without any rhyme or reason.
Now we are not just doing an "Insert", there are several variables that are at work when loading the data, like combining exact items into one row, associating data with ID's in another table, etc. It is not just a simple, take this data and place it here scenerio which makes this a serious headache to figure out how to make this error free and troubleshoot.
Is there some information or a direction I should look to consider a solid solution to importing data from Excel sheets to a MS SQL 2k db? These files are loaded into a specific folder and on upload they are also recorded in a table marked ready for update in the db. Our scheduler runs the exe associated with that users ID and loads their data, overwriting their previous data load, then marks the file as done.
Is there a proven method, some external program that can be used to make this a solid process, or any direction you can provide for me to research?
I have a 40 MB database in excel format.I need to use it in Analysis Services, I imported the data by DTS (DataTransformation Services), everything is working I can see the database,but I can't load it in the analysis services.I have to construct a cube but I can't see the database in any way Itried.Thank youI hope my message is quite clearHope to find somebody that can answer me in Italian, but English is goodas well.
I have problem in loading multiple excel sheets data in to according to that excelsheets tables in a DB. All the excel sheets are in a folder,from that folder i have to acces all excel sheets.

Is this the correct way to do like this? Or any other way?
Can u please tell me the solution for this..Thanks in advance who are responding to this mail...
I created a package loading Excel file. I developed the package using test excel file c:TestTest.xls and use a config file to assign actual folder (the file names will be got from a foreach loop container) when run it.
However, the package cannot run with a configure file which specify a different source folder and still ask for test.xls. It's not possible that it require reset the folder and file every time when it's used for a new folder.

I have an excel sheet that has a bunch of columns. Some of these columns have static data but there are a few of the columns that retrieve data by making calls to servers and returning values that populate these columns. Usually about 30 mins before the columns are populated.
I then need to to load the excel sheet into a table.
I was wondering if there was anyway by which we can make the connection to the excel sheet and then force a delay of about 30 mins before it starts retriving the data?
Is this possible in ssis? Or can I achieve it by some other means?
I have SSIS package which loads excel data in SQL server. Now when I execute the package by double clicking it(GUI Utility for Dtexec) or by running it in SSIS Editor it works great. However if I run it using the command line dtexec.exe then following error arises. Note that machine on which I am executing does not have Microsoft Office installed and is 64 bit.

I have used for-each loop container for loading excel sheet contains multiple sheets with same structure. It is loading data into SQL table even there is no data in sheets.
We have an install of SQL MDS 2016 CTP3 which I can access via the web browser and create models etc. I have uninstalled the Excel add-in for 2012 and installed the MDS 2016 CTP3 add-in on Excel 2010. I am able to create a MDS connection and the "Test" reports success in Excel.
However, when I try to connect to a model via the Master Data Explorer to load an entity, Excel hangs with the message "Loading objects for xxxx_Model". My only option is to close Excel via the Task Manager.
Where do I look for more detailed logs? Is there a switch I can use to provide a better debugging experience?
can anyone help me to solve this problem i have created a ssis package to load the data from excel file to the table, but we are getting the data in different language ie in french,english and in china after loading the data when we view the data it is showing as junk characters for chinese data but we are able to see other language data ie french and english. so please tell me how to solve that reply to my mail id(sandeep_shetty@mindtree.com)
I have a SSIS package running well in production however sometimes the package will fail when the excel file contains more than 25000+ rows.
The SSIS package is run by SQL Server Agent and is set to run in 32bit mode.
I checked the data by loading in batches and all data loaded successfully. But the funny thing is when I run the same package on my local development PC using BIDS and the same data file. The package loads all 25000+ rows successfully.
Is there some setting that is preventing all rows loading in the server environment.
I have to import data from Excel to SQL Server using SSIS. My fields in sql don't take null values however for some reason i don't understand I see that the SSIS is also trying to import null rows into the database. For example I have the following excel file: Name Postcode State XXX 123 ON YXX 345 IO
The rows following the last line are all blank but when I preview the Excel Source data flow task it returns the empty rows as null and therfore, my package fails as db fields don't accept null values.
How can I prevent SSIS from taking null rows? Can I maybe write a query in SSIS to say only to take rows where postcode<>null ?
Thanks in advance for any help i get :-)

Whisky-my beloved dog who died suddenly on the 29/06/06-I miss u so much.
I have seen this problem posted several times and not seen an applicable solution yet. No offense, the suggestions may have been good for those scenarios, but not this one.
Several (at least 4) Excel Spreadsheets come from a vendor that I need to import to a table. They are uploaded via web to a directory so they can be imported by a scheduled DTS package.
Darren Green's site gave me some good info on how to get this far, btw. But I cannot overcome the NULL-ifying of Column Headers for Numeric fields when the spreadsheet is imported.
Named ranges, along with any sort of spreadsheet editing is too time consuming. And since they come from a vendor, having them come to us with the required items in place is not possible.
Even though it seems easy enough, it's a toughy. Any help would be rewarded with respect and admiration. Thanks, Mike
In my Excel file the date column contain some nulls. In Data conversion I am converting this Date column as Date[dt_date]. When I run the package it is giving the error Can not convert date to Copy of date.. This error is coming due to nulls in Date column. How to solve this error?
i'm using an excel source where i get my excel rows using a query, I'd like to replace possible null values with some other data(a zero value or a empty string for example), that's because i'm performing a transformation into a sql server table wich doesn't accept null values for some columns.
Is there any function to convert a null value to another one? I used the sql server's CASE function, but it didn't work. Any suggestions?
I've a package that has a excel source. But i'm having a strange problem with it. One of the columns in the source file have a lot of null values but not all of them. But when i run the package a put a data viewer right after the source and i can see that it's showing that the few fields that should have values are also null. I've tried a lot of things but they didn't work. I need some help and fast if possible. Example: Source file.xls Name Grade OtherGrade John 30 30.23 In the DataViewer Name Grade OtherGrade John 30 NULL
I'm trying to import some data from a spreadsheet to a database table from a package in integration services. The problem is that I see the data when I open the excel file but when I try to run my package , it doesn't insert any rows in the table and it finishes with a success status.
My excel file has some formulas to get the data from other worksheets. I added a Data Viewer and all I see is null values in every cell.
I have an Excel spreadsheet (Excel 2003 format) with a column of values. The column is formated to General (although I've tried it formated to text). The values are alphanumeric. However, there are a few values that are completely numeric.
Example:
_ITEMNUMBER_
1-528
K214-5
184PR
45678
As can be seen, the last value is completely numeric. I am importing into a table with one column that is formated as nvarchar(50).
I use dtswizard.exe and do a simple import into the table and the alphanumeric values import just fine but anytime a value is completely numeric it has a NULL value in the table instead of the value that should be there.
I've tried changing the format of the column to nchar, char, etc, etc. Always comes in NULL.
