I have the following view (vProcurementPlan)SELECT dbo.tblProcurementPlan.*, dbo.tblRequisition.RequisitionID ASReqReqID, dbo.tblRequisition.ReqNo AS ReqNo, dbo.tblRequisition.Am AS Am,dbo.tblRequisition.ROS AS ROS,dbo.tblRequisition.ActivityID AS ActivityID, dbo.tblRequisition.ProjectID ASProjectIDFROM dbo.tblProcurementPlan INNER JOINdbo.tblRequisition ONdbo.tblProcurementPlan.RequisitionID = dbo.tblRequisition.RequisitionIDIf I try inserting a record from Access it complains about multiple basetables, I'm happy to write an "instead of" trigger and handle the 5 columnsfrom tblRequisition but as it contains all columns from tblProcurementPlan Idon't want to have to list them separately in any insert or updatestatement.The idea is that a record will be inserted into both tables simultaneouslyupon insert to the view.

Hi,
I have an SSIS Package. I am using script component to loop through input columns and their values. I am not able to do Null checking. The code is as below. In place of dashes , I want to do null checking but am not able to do. I tried vbNull, IsNull, TypeOf, System.dbNull but nothing is working. I guess am missing something here. Can anyone help me with this.
For Each column In Me.ComponentMetaData.InputCollection(0).InputColumnCollection
columnValue = rowType.GetProperty(column.Name)
If Not --------------- Then
RowData += ((FormatElement(column.Name) + ReplaceSpecialChars(columnValue.GetValue(Row, Nothing).ToString()) + FormatElement(column.Name, True)))
End If
Next
Thanks in Advance.

Hello:
I am running into an issue with RS2k PDF export.
Case: Exporting Report to PDF/Printing/TIFF
Report: Contains 1 table with 19 Columns. 1 column is static, the other 18 are visible at the users descretion. Report when printed/exported to pdf spans 2 pages naturally, 16 on the first page, 3 on the second, and the column widths have been adjusted to provide a perfect page span .
User A elects to hide two of the columns, and show the rest. The report complies and the viewable version is perfect, the excel export is perfect.. the PDF export on the first page causes every fith column, starting with the last column that was hidden to be expanded to take up additional width. On the spanned page, it renders the first column on that page correctly, then there is a white space gap equal to the width of the hidden columns and then the rest of the cells show with the last column expanded to take up the same width that the original 2 columns were going to take up, plus its width.
We have tried several different settings to see if it helps this issue or makes it worse. So far cangrow/canshrink/keep together have made no impact. It is not possible to increase the page size due to limited page size selection availablility for the client. There are far too many combinations of what the user can elect to show or hide to put together different tables to show and hide on the same report to remove this effect.
Any help or suggestion on this issue would be appreciated

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.
Thanks,
Manisha

So I have Excel Source in my dataflow - so I do a simple transform and try to save it to db and guess what - a freaking error message: Columns blahblah and BlahBlah cannot convert between unicode and non-unicode datatype. I cant figure this MS stuff out - why the heck is this data from excel unicode to begin with & I just dont feel it is right to always use the derived columns to convert datatypes when dealing with Excel data. Am I missing something again or is it another one of those MS gotchas?

I have two spreadsheets in excell. There are 3000 numbers on one sheet, and there are 900 numbers on the other sheet. I want to know which numbers overlap and either somehow flag the overlaping numbers on both sheets or create a third sheet that just contains the numbers that exist in both. Is there some straightforward set of function comands in excel to do this?
Thanks for any help.

Hi guys,
i have a client who is dissatisfied with the merged columns and rows produced when SSRS renders to Excel, it prevents them from easily copying and pasting data into another workbook.
Is there going to be any work done in this area of the product in the near future? My understanding is that this 'issue' has been around for quite some time, and shortly after the SSRS2005 RTM release the team were going to look at tidying up the Excel rendering. Can anyone from MS make an official comment on this?
Thanks,
sluggy

Hi:
I use a SSIS package to loop thro a folder and load data from multiple excel files to a SQL2005 table. Works fine except when an excel has a missing col.
Col names in xls are always a subset of col names in the table. The missing cols are random, else I would just have made another package:-)
Once a missing column is found, I get runtime and design time errors, and metadata problems. How can a get SSIS to ignore missing columns?
TIA

I created an Excel Source and used a query to get the data,i.e
SELECT F1,F2,F3,F4,F5,F6,F7 FROM [Fut Days$A20:G1480]
The query works fine, the preview returns the rows, but SSIS will not generate output Columns nor will it let me manually add them? Am I missing something?

Is there a way to control the way Reporting Services exports the report to Excel? The actual report being exported is filling all the columns and lines with blank into the sheet. The report has only 600 lines and 5 columns and the final Excel file is about 3 MB in size because is filling the 65,XXX lines allowed by Excel.

I have a business need to create a report by query data from a MS SQL 2008 database and display the result to the users on a web page. The report initially has 6 columns of data and 2 out of 6 have JSON data so the users request to have those 2 JSON columns parse into 15 additional columns (first JSON column has 8 key/value pairs and the second JSON column has 7 key/value pairs). Here what I have done so far:
I found a table value function (fnSplitJson2) from this link [URL]. Using this function I can parse a column of JSON data into a table. So when I use the function above against the first column (with JSON data) in my query (with CROSS APPLY) I got the right data back the but I got 8 additional rows of each of the row in my table. The reason for this side effect is because the function returned a table of 8 row (8 key/value pairs) for each json string data that it parsed.
1. First question: How do I modify my current query (see below) so that for each row in my table i got back one row with 19 columns.
SELECT A.ITEM1,A.ITEM2,A.ITEM3,A.ITEM4, B.*
FROM PRODUCT A
CROSS APPLY fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM5,NULL) B
If updated my query (see below) and call the function twice within the CROSS APPLY clause I got this error: "The multi-part identifier "A.ITEM6" could be be bound.
2. My second question: How to i get around this error?
SELECT A.ITEM1,A.ITEM2,A.ITEM3,A.ITEM4, B.*, C.*
FROM PRODUCT A
CROSS APPLY fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM5,NULL) B, fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM6,NULL) C
I am using Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 version. Windows 7 desktop.

I am trying to update a SQL table using an excel file which has 2 columns FMStyle and FMHSNum.
FMStyle is my link to the SQL table.
Here is what I have for code....
--------------------------------------------------
Update DataTEST.dbo.zzxstylr
SET hs_num = (select FMHSNum FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', 'Excel 12.0;Database=c: empStyleHSCodesLoad.xls;HDR=YES ', [Sheet1$]))
Where FMStyle = zzxstylr.style
--------------------------------------------------
Everything seems to be ok except for the "Where FMStyle" is giving me a message Invalid Column name on FMStyle. Do I need to qualify FMStyle and if so how.

Hi
I have an excel source which is a 41 column sheet. The excel filepath is stored in a table and captured into a variable. The excel source import is contained within a foreach loop and will loop through each file and continue until all the excel files are processed. It works fine until it gets to the last file. The import then fails with the following error:
The column "F42" needs to be added to the external metadata column collection.
The column "F43" needs to be added to the external metadata column collection.
The column "F44" needs to be added to the external metadata column collection.
The column "F45" needs to be added to the external metadata column collection.
The column "F46" needs to be added to the external metadata column collection.
The column "F47" needs to be added to the external metadata column collection.
Now when i open the excel sheet and hit CTRL+END the cursor goes to a column 6 to the right of the last column with data in it, effectively column 47 where column 41 is the end of my data.
I guess that the jet engine is trying to import these additional columns but because i am not expecting them there is no destination set up for them in the OLEDB destination and susequently the metadata needs to be added. I do not want to do this as these are excel files originating from the client and i cannot control how many additional columns they are going to "add".
Does anyone have any ideas as to how i can solve this? Is there a way of identifying the last column with data and only importing those columns?
Thanks in advance for any help or experience of this issue

Hi,
I have a package that uses an Excel file source. There appears to be no place to modify the column data types as you can with a flat file manager. As such, the source columns do not match the columns in the database.
I believe I must be overlooking something here.
Can someone please tell me how I can modify the Excel column datatypes?
Thanks

I have one issue left to solve before releasing my drilldown report to production. The report displays fine in report manager; however, when it is exported to excel, the color (Coral) in the last column on the right is bleeding into the next three columns in excel. I have looked at properties, sizing and searched the archives. Anyone have an idea how I can fix this to render properly?

I'd like to first figure out the count of how many rows are not the Current Edition have the following:
Second I'd like to be able to select the primary key of all the rows involved
Third I'd like to select all the primary keys of just the rows not in the current edition
Not really sure how to describe this without making a dataset
CREATE TABLE [Project].[TestTable1](
[TestTable1_pk] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[Source_ID] [int] NOT NULL,
[Edition_fk] [int] NOT NULL,
[Key1_fk] [int] NOT NULL,
[Key2_fk] [int] NOT NULL,
[Code] .....
Group by fails me because I only want the groups where the Edition_fk don't match...

Here is My requirement, I'm not sure if this is possible. Creating table called master like col1, col2 col3, col4 , col5 ...Where Col1, col2 are updatable - this can be done easily
Col3, col4 are columns in another table but these can be just a read only ?? Is this possible ? this is possible with View but not friendly with share point CRUD...Col 5 is a computed column of col 2 and col5 ? if above step can be done then sure this can be done I guess.

Hi, all experts here,
Thanks a lot for your kind attention.
As I am creating the non-clustered indexes for the tables, I dont quite understand how dose it really matter to put the columns in the index key columns or put them into the included columns of the index?
I am really confused about that and I am looking forward to hearing from you and thank you very much again for your advices and help.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,

Here's another one of my bitchfest about stuff which annoy the *** out of me in SSIS (and no such problems in DTS):
Do you ever wonder how easy it was to set up text file to db transform in DTS - I had no problems at all. In SSIS - 1 spent half a day trying to figure out how to get proper column data types for text file - OF Course MS was brilliant enough to add "Suggest Types" feature to text file connection manager - BUT guess what - it sample ONLY 1000 rows - so I tried to change that number to 50000 and clicked ok - BUT ms changed it to 1000 without me noticing it - SO NO WONDER later on some of datatypes did not match. And boy what a fun it is to change the source columns after you have created a few transforms.
This s**hit just breaks... So a word about Derived Columns - pretty useful feature heh? ITs not f***ing useful if it DELETES SOME of the Code itself after there have been changes in dataflow. I cant say how pissed off im about that SSIS went ahead and deleted columns from flow & messed up derived columns just because the lineageIDs dont match.
Meta-data - it would be useful if you could change it and refresh it - im just sick and tired of it that it shows warnings and errors when there's nothing wrong - so after a change i need to doubleclick all my transforms so that those red & yellow boxes would disappear.
Oh and y I passionately dislike Derived columns - so you create new fields based on some data - you do some stuff - combine multiple columns to one, but you have no way saying remove the columns from the pipeline. Y you need it - well if you have 50K + rows with 30+ columns then its EXTRA useless memory overhead for your package.
Hopefully one day I will understand how SSIS works (not an ez task I say) - I might be able to spend more time on development and less time on my bitchfest - UNTIL then --> Another Day - Another Hassle with SSIS

Can you separate a domain attribute into two columns in the Excel Add-In?
We are using the Excel Add-In as the UI for business users and they want to see one of the domain attributes as 2 different columns.
The attribute is Store, currently it is displayed like this:
"123 {STORENAME }".
They want it displayed in two columns in the Excel document for easier filtering/sorting: Store Number and Store Name.
Is this possible? If one column is changed the other would change right along with it.

I am working on a Statistical Reporting system where:
Data Repository: SQL Server 2005
Business Logic Tier: Views, User Defined Functions, Stored Procedures
Data Access Tier: Stored Procedures
Presentation Tier: Reporting ServicesThe end user will be able to slice & dice the data for the report by
different organizational hierarchies
different number of layers within a hierarchy
select a organization or select All of the organizations with the organizational hierarchy
combinations of selection criteria, where this selection criteria is independent of each other, and also differeBelow is an example of 2 Organizational Hierarchies:
Hierarchy 1
Country -> Work Group -> Project Team (Project Team within Work Group within Country)
Hierarchy 2
Client -> Contract -> Project (Project within Contract within Client)Based on 2 different Hierarchies from above - here are a couple of use cases:
Country = "USA", Work Group = "Network Infrastructure", Project Team = all teams
Country = "USA", Work Group = all work groups
Client = "Client A", Contract = "2007-2008 Maint", Project = "Accounts Payable Maintenance"
Client = "Client A", Contract = "2007-2008 Maint", Project = all
Client = "Client A", Contract = allI am totally stuck on:
How to implement the data interface (Stored Procs) to the Reports
Implement the business logic to handle the different hierarchies & different number of levelsI did get help earlier in this forum for how to handle a parameter having a specific value or NULL value (to select "all")
(WorkGroup = @argWorkGroup OR @argWorkGrop is NULL)
Any Ideas? Should I be doing this in SQL Statements or should I be looking to use Analysis Services.

Hi,
I am planning to use transacational replication (instead of merge replication) on my SQL server 2000. My application is already live and is being used by real users.
How can I ensure that replicated data on different server would have exact same values of identity columns and date columns (where every I set default date to getdate())?
It is very important for me to have a mirror image of data (without using clustering servers).
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

If the bills dates between 0 and 30 I like to insert the Outstanding total into Colum K ,
If the bills dates between 31 and 60 I like to insert the Outstanding total into Colum L ,
If the bills dates between 61 and 90 I like to insert the Outstanding total into Colum M and so on ..
I tried below formula but it is not working
CASE DATEDIFF(day, Ac_Billbook.BillDate, getdate()) Between 0 and 30 THEN Insert into (Ac_Billbook.OutstandingTotal) Value ('K')
CASE DATEDIFF(day, Ac_Billbook.BillDate, getdate()) Between 31 and 60 THEN Insert into (Ac_Billbook.OutstandingTotal) Value ('L')
CASE DATEDIFF(day, Ac_Billbook.BillDate, getdate()) Between 61 and 90 THEN Insert into (Ac_Billbook.OutstandingTotal) Value ('M')
