I am having difficulty creating a dynamic connection string to an Excel file. For flat files I would assign the ConnectionString property to a variable. However I keep getting errors at compile time when I do this with a Excel file. I am trying to use a ForEachFile Loop to id the Excel file and pass it to the Excel Connection Manager. The ForEachFile Loop works fine with passing the connection to a flat file. I have followed the steps in BOK http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345182.aspx
I keep getting the following error:

Hello, We are running SQL2005, SP2. We are having problems with the time it takes to export reports to Excel. I am attempting to research the subject and find ways of solving the problem either by modifying the reports or make changes in the way we deliver them.
Either way my attempts at researching this at Microsoft.com and here at the forums have proven to be failures. There are many threads on the subject but with the time it takes to scroll through them all I have yet to find any that seem to relate to the specific issues we are having.
We have a report which is approximately 38 pages, sometimes less, sometimes more, in length. When attempting to export to Excel the process seems to take forever or time out. We can still close out the export attempt and return to the report, but the process of exporting to Excell seems to take forever.
Could anyone here provide me with links to pages either here at Microsoft.com, in the forums, or elsewhere where the factors involved in the exporting to Excell feature are addressed so that I can try to accomodate them as best as possible?
Thanks in advance. I will continue to try and track down the information on my own but any assistance is appreciated.
The following 2 stored procedures are used to insert and select attachments for a web application I'm creating. The stored porcedures work in the basic sense but when I do the insert only one record is inserted. Also, when I do the select only one record is selected.
I'm wondering if I there is suppose to be some sort of record counting or looping involved to insert and return all records. If there is, I would appreciate any advice and/or examples on the proper way of doing this.
If the code is also needed I'd be glad to post it as well.
Thanks
CREATE PROCEDURE AddAttachments ( @FILENAME varchar(200), @FILE_PATH varchar(2000), @T_PK int ) AS
INSERT INTO ATTACHMENTS (FILENAME, FILE_PATH, T_PK) VALUES (@FILENAME, @FILE_PATH, @T_PK);
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE SelectAttachments ( @PK int ) AS
SELECT FILENAME, FILE_PATH FROM TASKINGS RIGHT OUTER JOIN ATTACHMENTS ON T.PK = ATTACHMENTS.T_PK WHERE (T_PK = @PK);
I have the Excel Connection Manager and Source to read the contents from an Excel file. For some reason couple of numeric fields from the Excel worksheet are brought over as nulls even though they have a value of 300 and 150. I am not sure why this is happening. I looked into the format of the fields and they are set to General in Excel, I tried setting them to numeric and that did not help.
All the other content from the excel file is coming thru except for the 2 numeric fields.
I tried to bring the contents from the excel source to a text file in csv format and for some reason the 2 numeric fields came out as blank.
Any inputs on getting this addressed will be much appreciated.

i have an SSIS package that exports to an excel file. This works fine. the problem is that it appends the data instead of overwriting the file. Is there any way to overwrite the file like you can with a flat file? I have to email the file everyweek and don't want to have to clear it out manually. Any help would be appreciated
Good Day to all, Hope you could help me w/ my project. Im creating a DTS Package. The source data will be coming from an excel file going to my SQL table. The DTS package is scheduled to execute daily, but the source data will be coming from different excel filename. Example, today the DTS will get data from Data092506.xls. Then tomorrow, the data will be coming from Data092606.xls. How can I do this? The DTS I've already done has a fixed source data file. Please help. Thank you so much. God Bless.
I have a ssis package where I need to have excel destination. In the Excel file, I need to have few rows with some text and then populate data below the text. One the text is like this:
Data as of: 08/25/2015
if the report ran today, then Data as of will have Yesterday. So, if the user opens that excel file after a week, then user should see same Data as of: 08/25/2015. not today()-day(1).
I was planing to handle on excel side with today()-day(1). but it only works the day it was run. Then the excel file is open after few days later, then it might as Data as of: 08/30/2015 which is not true. It should still stay Data as of:
08/25/2015 on what ever date the excel file is open. The SSIS package runs only once.
How do I handle this so that whenever user open the file, they will see Data as of: 08/25/2015. This is not a column in excel. It is like a description of data in excel.
its my flow in one of my packates (ETL job) Excel file contains monthly revenue details, i wanna import the excel data to my database staging table, so i've created the package. its working fine...
Problem if we change the new data for the next month and running the package its not running; the same file, same format, only we delete the contents, of the file except first row of the excel sheet, and pasting the new data; new data is coming from Oracle DataBase in the form of excel sheet ( manually they will copy the data and sending to us)
i open that package in design mode and while double clicking the excel file source it says <column name>'s Meta Data needs to be synchronized Do you want to Fix this issue automatically with the available external column's meta data
Clearly noted that its a data type issue; i have changed the corresponding data types as it is in the previous Excel sheet which is equivalant to the Table its copying to.
now the package is running with validation warnings, External Column "Invoice Amount" needs to be updated...etc. some 2 or three warning messages i can able to see in the package Execution wizard,
ok, i'm ready to accept these warnings, and i want my package running from my server;( packages had been deployed in to the Centeralized server; every time if we want to run the package, we have the asp.net webpage, that is executing the package in an On_click event)
The package is not running from the server, its due to the meta data change in the Excel file( i guess)
please suggest me some guide lines to resolve this meta data issue, i want my excel sheet meta data should not change when we have new updates in it;
otherwise suggest me some solutions that i can validate the excel sheet before running the package and testing whether the data is in correct format or not? its a kind of Data Profiling activity;
i know its some what crazy, but i need to maintain the system with permanent solution, instead of facing this meta data mismatch issue!!!
some what lenthy explanation--> its needed for my dear powerful microsoft responders. i think i 've explained my problem clearly, if i don't let me know your queries, i'll try my level best.

I'm importing a multi tab spreadsheet using Import wizard, which I understand to use the same internals as SSIS. The total number of columns in the spread sheet will be over 500. The import wizard defaults everything to varchar 255. I understand there is an XML file I can manipulate to change this and they are located
Hi guys, I am converting a xls file to csv file. When I am converting, the values in the columns 00 and 05 are converted into 0 and 5 respectivly.

I tried to dts a table to an excel file. The data types of all the columns in the table are varchar. When it dts to excel file, excel force every column to be text. So every value of every cell of the excel has a single quote before it (not in the cell itself, but in the value shown space right below the toolbar). I also tried to dts the table into a excel template which I predefined all cells to be text type. The strange thing is some of the columns do not have the single quote anymore, but others still keep them. Since the other system that going to process the excel file does not expect the single quote, the process always fails.
Would anybody tell me how to get rid of the single quote? Thanks a lot.

How can I empty an existing excel file before using DTS to export new data in this excel file? Or is there any way to delete this excel file from DTS task?
I'm trying to write a DTS package that reads data from an excel spreadsheet. I'm having a problem getting all the data from the spreadsheet, seems that OLE DB is "too" smart. There is one column that has either numeric values or text values in its row cells. When I browse the spreadsheet in DTS (transform properties, browse button) I only see the text values. OLE DB has placed nulls or blanks into the cells with the numeric values. If I edit the spreadsheet to change the column header to contain a number, then the browse window shows only the numeric values and blanks out the text values. Any suggestion on how to get OLE DB/DTS to treat the numeric values as text? In the spreadsheet, I've tried changing the cell formats to text and to general. This had no effect.
I need to select a list of rows from excel file. I formed my query in this way : SELECT * FROM OpenDataSource( 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Data Source="MOC02c:empest/xls";Extended properties=Excel 97-2000')...xactions This gives an error
Error is Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' reported an error. [OLE/DB provider returned message: Could not find installable ISAM.]
If anybody knows how to read from an excel file to a query analyser , pelase reply. Regards Suresh
I have a stored procedure. This proc returns some data that needs to be put in an excel format. Is it possible to create a excel file to have the result of a select statement from the database?
I have to generate reports in Excel formats.I send the appropriate content type through header() function of PHP.But I can't get the <td> colors when using css sheets. Following problem occurs: 1. Image doesn't come. 2.<td> does'nt take css style. Following is the code snippet:
I need to execute an excel file (built with macro) whenever a date change is detected between 2 fields in my sql table.
if @Date1<>@Date2 begin DECLARE @command varchar(1000) SET @command='d:Refresh_ABC.bat' exec xp_cmdshell @command . . .
In my Refresh_ABC.bat, I have the following line Start Excel.exe "D:ABC.xls"
When I tested the above script (from Declare... to @command) in query analyzer, nothing seems to happen. It shows The command(s) completed successfully. But my excel file was not refreshed at all. When I ran the batch file Refresh_ABC.bat on it's own, ABC.xls was refreshed so the batch file is working.
Next test, I placed the line Start Excel.exe "D:ABC.xls" on SET @command = ......... line. Same problem, nothing happened.
Any idea what went wrong. Please advise. Thank you.
hey I am just trying a simple query of an Excel file.
Select * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Excel 8.0;Database=C:MyFile.xls;HDR=YES', 'SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]')
and i am getting this error
Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error. OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' IDBInitialize::Initialize returned 0x80004005: The provider did not give any information about the error.].
I know for a fact that the path is correct and that it is the path of the server. So what is the problem with this??
I've created a dts package that exports data to an excel. The data exports okay, but I'd like to make a few changes on how the data is exported.
First, when the data exports to the excel file, it always creates a new excel sheet. How can I map the data to the existing sheet in the Excel file? I have an existing sheet named 'Sheet1'. I've deleted the other two sheets in the excel file, so there is only one sheet. When I created the destination table in the dts package for the data transformation task, I specified the name as 'Sheet1', but when it exports, it creates a new sheet named 'Sheet11'. I haven't been able to correct this.
Second, I'd like to either ammend data to the last row in the excel file, which I'd have to know the last record that was inserted from the SQL table. Or probably much easier, simply drop the existing sheet in the excel file and simply re-create and insert.
Hi, I m trying to update a table using an Excel file using the following code: [sql] UPDATE cargo SET cargo.slot = (SELECT two FROM OpenDataSource( 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Data Source="c:excel est.xls";Extended properties=Excel 5.0')...Sheet1$ WHERE cargo.container = one)
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT two FROM OpenDataSource( 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Data Source="c:excel est.xls";Extended properties=Excel 5.0')...Sheet1$ WHERE cargo.container = one)
select container,slot from cargo [sql] Now, I have two similar databases, and both contain all the fields necessary for this operation and these fields are identical. However on one table it works perfectly, on the other it gives an error:
MSDTC on server 'SCRBSQLITGTO002' is unavailable.
The server I am running is the only sql 2000 server we have, so it is cannot be in cluster mode. Can anyone help? Thanks Azh
