So I am trying to export my SQL Server Result Set from "OLE DB Source" to an Excel spreadsheet. This was working fine when I hard-coded the Excel spreadsheet path and file name. But now I am trying to create an Excel spreadsheet and file name using a variable...@ExcelFullyQualifiedName.
My "Excel Connection Manager" is defined with the following Properties...
DelayVaildation = TrueExpressions and Connection String ==> "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" + @[User::ExcelFileFullyQualifiedName] + ";Extended Properties="Excel 12.0 XML;HDR=YES";"
"Excel Destination" Properties...
ValidateExternalMetadata = FalseCustom Properties ==> AccessMode = OpenRowset From VariableOpenRowsetVariable ==> User::ExcelFileFullyQualifiedName
When I attempt running my Package I am getting this error...
Error: 0xC0202009 at Data Flow Task, Excel Destination [100]: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.

Hi everyone,
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.
How can I go about doing this?
Any help will be appreciated!
Thanks,

Hi all,
I have two tables in SQL Server 2005 and excel sheet ( Office 2003).
The colums of excel sheet are: name ,ssn, flagbit ( Note: Excel sheet contains data already)
Columns of table_one and table_two are: name ,ssn
I want to compare the ssn field from table_one and ssn in excelsheet_one, if it matches , then flagbit in excelsheet_one should say"T1".
If i compare ssn field from table_two and ssn in excelsheet_one, if it matches, the flagbit in excelsheet_one should say "T2".
Ex:
Table_one (input) ---- excelsheet_one ( Output)
ssn name ---- ssn name flagbit
11 NYC ---- 11 NYC T1
Both the tables refers same excelsheet_one and have to update the same flag bit column in excelsheet.
Basically, i want to compare table and excel sheet, then if it matches, then update excel sheet.
Does anybody how to do this.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
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
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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 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?
Thanks

I have an excel spreadsheet and I want to transport its data into a table. I have tried copying and pasting but it doesn't work. Any ideas?
View 4 Replies View RelatedEvery month a client sends a spreadsheet with data which we use to update matching rows in a table in the database. I want to automate this using a DTS package but am having quite a bit of trouble accomplishing what I think should be trivial task. I've been attempting to use a Transform Data Task with a modification lookup but I just keep inserting the rows from the source excel spreadsheet in to the existing destination table without ever modifying the existing data.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated as to a best practice approach.
Hi, I'm a Student, and since a few months ago I'm learning JAVA. I'm creating an application to call and compare times. For this I create in Excel a time table which is quite big and it would be a lot of typing work to input one by one the data in each cell in SQL Server, considering that I have to create 8 more tables. I was able to retreive the data from excel usin the JXL API of JAVA but it doesn't give all the funtions to perform math operations as JDBC. That's why I need to move the tables from Excel to SQL.
I found this site http://davidhayden.com/blog/dave/archive/2006/05/31/2976.aspx which gives a code to do so, but I guess that some heathers are missing or maybe I don't know which compiler to use to run that code, I would like you help to identify which compiler use to run that code or if there is some vital piece of code missing.// Connection String to Excel Workbook
string excelConnectionString = @"Provider=Microsoft .Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=Book1.xls;Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=YES;""";
// Create Connection to Excel Workbook
using (OleDbConnection connection = new OleDbConnection(excelConnectionString))
{
OleDbCommand command = new OleDbCommand ("Select ID,Data FROM [Data$]", connection);
connection.Open();
// Create DbDataReader to Data Worksheet
using (DbDataReader dr = command.ExecuteReader())
{
// SQL Server Connection String
string sqlConnectionString = "Data Source=.; Initial Catalog=Test;Integrated Security=True";
// Bulk Copy to SQL Server
using (SqlBulkCopy bulkCopy = new SqlBulkCopy(sqlConnectionString))
{
bulkCopy.DestinationTableName = "ExcelData";
bulkCopy.WriteToServer(dr);
}
}
}
On the other hand in this forum I that someelse use that link but implements a totally different code which I'm not able to compile also http://forums.asp.net/p/1110412/2057095.aspx#2057095. It seems this code works as I was able to read, but I do not know which language is used.

I'm trying to use Excel in SSIS to import the data from spreadsheet to a staging table. The package runs well from the web server using SSMS. But when I deploy and try to execute the package, I'm getting the below error. I've a question, whether I've to install the AccessDatabaseEngine driver in SQL database server or the web server where I'm executing the SSIS?
Error: The requested OLE DB provider Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 is not registered. If the 64-bit driver is not installed, run the package in 32-bit mode.
I am attempting to run an SSIS package that, among other things, imports a spreadsheet from excel into a database table. The package runs without any issues within Visual Studio. I have tried executing the package through both, the MSDB run package and through dtexec (trying to kick of the package through a stored procedure) and I get 2 different behaviors.
Using dtexec (the method I really need to use): The package will run successfully...up to the point when the spreadsheet is imported at which time it fails with Description: The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009. Here is the code:
exec xp_cmdshell 'dtexec /sq PopulateTRTLStationandtRTLUnitMapping /ser SERVERNAME
Running it through the MSDB Run Package UI...It will also make it up to the point where the Excel spreadsheet is imported but errors with: The Product level is insufficient for the component "Lookup Station and Account Type: (1894) ...and 1 line with that same error for every single task in that dataflow. Here is the code it runs.
/DTS "MSDBPopulateTRTLStationandtRTLUnitMapping" /SERVER "SERVERNAME" /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING V
The machine is running 32 bit OS Windows Server 2003 SP1 and Db SQL Server 2005 32 bit. I found one forum posting that suggested turning the Delay Validation property to True...but that did not fix the issue. I did create the package with my username with a ProtectionLevel of EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey. I don't think it is related to the account however because all of the tasks (serveral work tables are created) up to the Excel import will execute.
I really need to get this working as soon as possible so am open to any solutions someone can present.
is there a way to query an excel spreadsheet directly from sql without using ssis or excel macros?...and without saving the spreadsheet to a table first?

how should I go about exporting a couple of columns of data from a specific database table to an excel spreadsheet stored locally on a client machine (the one the script is being executed from). I am using SQL server 2000 SP3.
I'm fairly new to using SQL server, and not experienced at all with Transact-SQL.
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?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'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.

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.

Hello,
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 was wondering if there is a way to export just the table names of all the tables in a sql database to an excel spreadsheet. Can I also see the table structure, like which are the parent tables and which are the child tables? Please let me know. I'm using SQL server 2005.

Hello,
I am trying to export bunch of tables to excel files, and some table columns contain leading 0s. I tried to use bcp and found that it's not possible to directly export to excel file with leading 0s. I don't want to export to txt or csv file format since the client needs to update excel file as well.
We now think to use SSIS to do the transformation, but got problem. I used OLF DB as source, Excel as destination. I directly connect OLF DB to Excel destination, but always got error message which said unicode cannot convert to non-unicode. Can anyone explain how I get this error since we don't use unicode in the tables, and I make sure the table excel created used varchar and smallint?
Thanks in advance.
Hi there,
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.
Hey guys,
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 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:

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 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?
Thanks
