I need to take my 'table stats'every week and put them into an excel spreadsheet so that I can track the changes of my table sizes over time (basically I am watching to see how many rows are in each table). What I was planning on doing was to create a view of my table stats that I could then use DTS to transfer on a weekly basis into my excel spreadsheet. I have only used DTS a couple of times, and I have not ever tried it with excel. Now the problem: Everytime my DTS job runs it appends the data to the end of the origional columns that were created. Since my database has over 5000 tables these columns grow quite quickly. What I would like to do is set it up so that everytime the job runs it puts the new data into new columns in the same worksheet of my excel file. Is this possible? Any suggestions?
I'm getting an issue on a MS SQL DTS package that is doing a simple export from a MS SQL table to and Excel spreadsheet. I have three of these running but one is failing. I’m using DTSRun to run all three of these DTS packages. The only recent change was to the DTS package to fix the first step to delete the data in the spreadsheet tab named “Results”. The process works correctly in development (on different servers). The same active directory ID is being used on all three DTS packages and all three do the same i.e. export data to an excel spreadsheet in the same file location but with different names. I’ve Google’d this but only came across access issues which does not make since since it is writing the other two spreadsheets just fine. Curious.
Error I See:
Running DTS package with passed variables ... DTSRun: Loading...
Can somebody please tell me what I am doing wrong or need to do to resolve my issue. I having problems with one of the columns in an excel spreadsheet that I am trying to upload into the system. One of the columns contain values of both text and numbers such as 'ABC123', 'ABC124', '123456' etc. When I try uploading the sheet into SQL Server 2000 using DTS, the system removes all characters from the one column that I am having problems with. So entry 'ABC123' for example would be truncated to '123'. I tried formatting the column that I am having trouble with in excel to 'General' format as well as tried to transform the column to type varchar in SQL Server while using the DTS wizard but still had no luck. The problem is that SQL server thinks that the column is a float type column from the source and therefore truncates any characters.
Being new to SSIS I wish to loop through a series of excel spreadsheets and within each workbook loop through each sheet. I am aware of the For Each container but how can the each sheet in the workbook be referenced?
I have some XML that I'm passing through a variable into the XML task in SSIS. I also have an xsd file that I'm using and I want to validate (I think) that XML and have the XML task output an excel document. I've got the xsd file all set up in the "second operand" part of the XML task and the XML I'm passing in as a variable and that's in the "input" part of the XML task. My question is are there any tricks to make an excel document with these two things? Is there something I need to do in the xsd file to tell it that I want excel? Below is my XML and xsd:
I am able to import an excel spreadsheet into a table in sql server 2005 using SqlBulkCopy. The only thing that bothers me here is how to check duplicate entries and throw an error to the user regarding the duplicate entries. In the table in sql, there is no primary keys. There are five columns and the way I will have to find the duplicates is to match all those 5 columns. Since the excel spreadsheet can have 40 to 500 entries, how can I check those dupes.
I've got an Excel Spreadsheet with 5 columns of data which I need to get into an SQL Table. There's 13,000 rows in this Spreadsheet so manually doing it is out of the question.
I'm exporting via dts to an excel spreadsheet. However my database has more than 65000 records. DTS croacks and shoots out that there are too many records in the spreadsheet.
What do I do? Any way to go around that? These are my daily hit logs that are recorded and they tend to get big.
I am new to SQL and can do queries OK on SQLTalk. I need to know if there is a script to retrieve data and then export to an Excel spreadsheet for internal company use. Is there such a beast and is this the right place to look???

I am trying to set up a linked server in SQL Server 2005 to link to an excel spreadsheet.
-I am selecting Jet 4.0 as the provider -Product name is Excel -Data Source is the path on our network to the excel file: N:Devon 5403 4.0 Engineering4.01 ProcessLinelistIFCLDT Field.xls -Provider String is Excel 8.0 -Security | Login not defined is set to Be made using the login's current security context.
The Excel file is an Excel 2003 spreadsheet. The worksheet is titled Pages
I have a query window open in SQL Server Management Studio and the following is my select statement:
SELECT * FROM DEVON_LINE_LIST...Pages$
I get the following error message:
OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "DEVON_LINE_LIST" returned message "Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user.". Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "DEVON_LINE_LIST" reported an error. Authentication failed. Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "DEVON_LINE_LIST".
I get similar error messages no matter which security settings I pick.
Any thought as to what I can try to get this to work?
I am looking for a way to import data from a CSV or Excel spread sheet and add the data directly into an Extended field instead of a regular field in the table. for example: let's say I have a comma delimited field with the following info:
NDC_M_FORMULARY,CUSTOM_EXTSIG,Custom EXT SIG NDC_M_FORMULARY,DRUG_CODE,Alternate key, user defined NDC_M_FORMULARY,CHARGE_CODE,From the Charge code table
The first column is the table name Second Column is the Column name in the table The third column contains the description that I would like to store in the Value in the Extended Property Name "MS_Description"
BTW,I did find the following T-SQL which returns the Extended description for a specific Extended Property
Here it is:
SELECT [Table Name] = i_s.TABLE_NAME, [Column Name] = i_s.COLUMN_NAME, [Description] = s.value FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS i_s LEFT OUTER JOIN
I am new to SQL program. I did little management for SQL 2000 before. I need to export from a table or view to excel spreadsheet for company's marketing resourece. Is there any easy simple way to do it?
I am using SSIS to export data from a table to an Excel spreadsheet. This all seems to work put just fine. The user would like a data in column B1 to say when the spreadsheet was created. Is there a way within SSIS to do this. I was looking at using a .NET script but it accesses the spreadsheet as a table so I do not know how to insert data above the headings in row 1. I believe the OleDB provider using column 1 as it column names for the table. Maybe I am just going about the whole think wrong?
Is there a limit to the number of fields that can be set in an OleDB Update Statement?
This works with 6 fields: cmd.CommandText = "Update [Sheet2$A2:AP2] Set F1 = '1', F2 = '35062', F3 = '6', F4 = '620000.0000', F5 = '200000.0000', F6 = '700000.0000'"
This Fails with 7 fields: cmd.CommandText = "Update [Sheet2$A2:AP2] Set F1 = '1', F2 = '35062', F3 = '6', F4 = '620000.0000', F5 = '200000.0000', F6 = '700000.0000', F7 = '123'"
The range should be plenty big with A2:AP2. In the end I'm trying to push 42 fields.
The complete segment is:
Dim ExcelConnection As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _ "Data Source=" & ExcelFileName & ";" & _ "Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=NO""" Dim conn As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection(ExcelConnection) Dim cmd As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand()
I have this situation that I need to read a spreadsheet with user names into a sql table where user name is just one of the columns. I tried using oledb connection to read the spreadsheet and sqlbulkcopy to import into sql table. There was no error, but the data wasn't imported into sql. Does anyone have any suggestion what I did wrong or what is the right way of doing this? Thanks a lot. Mia
I am using the import wizard in SQL Server 2008 R to import data from an Excel spreadsheet into a table I have created.
The spreadsheet contains 3 columns that SQL recognises as DOUBLE and they contain a 1 or 0. What data type do the corresponding fields in SQL table need to be? I have tried BIT, INT and FLOAT but keep getting an error (can't view details of the error because I get chucked out every time the error pops up). I know the problem is with the DOUBLE data because when I 'ignore' those columns the import works fine.

I needed to run following cursor and get the result exported to excel file. But Cursor retrives two resultset and while exporting to excel spreadsheet , it is the only first resultset without second resultset. How can it be exported to excel as a single resultset combined of first and second one.
Hi everybody, i'm a newbie to SSIS and I'm having a problem dynamically creating a new excel spreadsheet in SSIS. What I need to do is be able to dynamically create a brand new Excel spreadsheet after a data flow task completes.
Im using this query to select ,calculate and format data like Refer here for more understanding:-
Select DateAdd(Hour, DateDiff(Hour, 0, RowDateTime), 0) As RowDateTime, Avg(Meter1) As Meter1, Avg(Meter2) As Meter2, Avg(Meter3) As Meter3 From TableName Group By DateAdd(Hour, DateDiff(Hour, 0, RowDateTime), 0)
I want the output of the query to be written in the excel Sheet.
I created a report using visual studio 2005. Everything works fine except when users export it to excel. I have a column that links the user to another report but when they try to access it from the spreadsheet it is using localhost instead of the report server. Is there an easy way to fix this instead of updating each cell? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Firstly, i'm new to integration services and have only done a little with DTS jobs.
I'm trying to create an integration services project which will import data from an two worksheets in an Excel spreadsheet to two different tables in a database. I'm looking at only one table at present to make things a little more understandable.
One stipulation i have is that i need to be able to specify a variable value and insert that as an additional column in the database. I have and Excel source and a SQL destination both of which have been set up with there specific connection managers. I also have a variable which i add in using the derived column task.
When i try to debug this i am getting a few problems. I think these may be to do with the fact that although the worksheet in Excel has 20 rows (1st column shows these numbers) i only want those rows with data in them. If i preview the excel table it shows all the rows including those with null columns. Is there some sort of way that i can only get the rows that have data in the columns after the row number. I.e. can i select rows that do not have a second column value = to NULL.
I hope this makes sense and that someone can help me out with this problem.
All help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Grant
P.S.
Apologies. I have this resolved now. I didn't see the option to use a SQL command as apposed to a table or view when setting up the Excel source.
I am still however getting the following errors which i'd appreciate some help on:

I get the following error when I use SQL Server 2005 Import/Export wizard to extract more than 255 columns from an excel file;

I am new to SSIS. I am interested in using SSIS to import an excel spreadsheet into a SQL server database. My biggest concern is how to handle/manage errors that might occur when the import process occurs. Can anyone give me any guidance on this? I could write some C# code to do the import and to create a custom .txt file listing errors that occur on import. Using C# code to do the import seems like I would just be reinvinting the wheel so to speak.
I am trying to import an Excel Spreadsheet into SQL2005. There is a column in the spreadsheet that has character values, and numbers. I have formatted the numbers as text on the spreadsheet. I have declared the column on the table as char/varchar/nchar, but whatever I do, the numbers don't get imported into the table, but show up as nulls. Any idea why?
I created a report using visual studio 2005. Everything works fine except when users export it to excel. I have a column (ID) that links the user to different reports depending on what type of ID it is. I'm using the "Jump to Report" option and have created a custom function. When they export the report to an excel spreadsheet and click on the link, it's using localhost instead of the report server name. Is there an easy way to fix this instead of updating each cell with the report server? Thanks.
I am in a bit of a quandry. I have an Excel spreadsheet source, but I only want certain rows from the spreadsheet, which will be delineated by a header and footer row (Start and End). Here is my script thus far (see below).
My question is, what is the correct way to do this? I guess I am stuck on syntax. i.e.) Do I need to create an OUTPUT BUFFER?
Thanks
==============================
Sample data: blah Start Frank 1234 1234 1234 Sue 2345 2345 2345 End blah blah
==============================
Public Overrides Sub Input0_ProcessInputRow(ByVal Row As Input0Buffer)
Static Section As String
'Set sections
If Row.Name = "Start" Then
Section = "Start"
End If
If Row.Name = "End" Then
Section = "End"
End If
If Section = "Start" Then
'GRAB THESE ROWS AND SEND THROUGH THE PIPELINE 'IGNORE ALL OTHER ROWS! 'What syntax goes here? 'Output buffer?
