Problem In Reading Cell Comments From A Excel Sheet Using SSIS
Nov 8, 2006
Hi,
I have created an ssis package, am using Script task to read all the cell values and comments.
In server MS Excel is not installed, so we use regsvr32 to register excel.dll ( also tried with Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.dll ), while doing the registration we got error as
"Registration not done, enrty point not found"
Sice the registration is not done we where unable to create the excel object in our script task.
Can anybody give as any clue, all helps are welcome.
I have to transform 500 columns from an excel sheet to Sql Server. In Excel 2k3 , I can read a max of 256 columns only.If I use Excel 2k7, then SSIS 2k5 excel source does not support excel 2k7. If I use ole db source then again it can read a max of 256 columns.how can we read 500 columns in excel sheet (Around 10000 rows) efficiently using SSIS 2k5.
Is it possible to include a cell comment when exporting a report to Excel? My first guess was that the Textbox.ToolTip property might do the trick, but no luck.
Example: I am calculating a textbox based on the age of a particular value in days and conditionally formatting it. In the Excel export, I would like to have a cell comment (i.e., "insert comment" from the context menu in Excel) that shows how many days past the age limit the item is when it is formatted.
I'm using SSIS to export data from a SQL table to an Excel SpreadSheet. The first row of the Excel sheet contains the headers. I would like to delete all the records in the sheet before exporting the data. I'm using an Execute SQL task and the ConnectionType is set to Excel, the connection is set to the correct Excel Connection Manager, the ResultSet is set ton none and the query is DELETE FROM [ExcelDeneme$] GO. When I run the package I receive the following error :[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query "DELETE FROM [ExcelDeneme$] " failed with the following error: "Deleting data in a linked table is not supported by this ISAM.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly. What can i do to solve this problem?
This worked on the laptop I had last week. That laptop has ceased to be. I have a new one, which may be my problem.
I have a package that takes an Excel Sheet, makes a couple of conversions via the Data Conversion object, and places the rows into my SQL 2005 X64 database.
Here are the major exceptions:
1. [Excel Source [2479]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER. The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009. There may be error messages posted before this with more information on why the AcquireConnection method call failed. (THERE WERE NOT)
2. [Connection manager "Excel Connection Manager"] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040154. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft OLE DB Service Components" Hresult: 0x80040154 Description: "Class not registered".
Here is the rub... I am running Vista(Weeeee), and Office 2007(Double Weeeeee). Last week I was running XP, and Office 2003.
Is this a wierd Vista permission problem? The "Class not Registered" message is worrying me. Does SSIS work with Excel 2007 installed?
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 am splitting data from SQL table and sending it to excel file but everytime i rerun the package ,it appends the existing data in excel file ..I tried using execute sql task with excel connection and write drop table `tablename` and then one more execute sql task with create table `tablename` (`Id` int ,`fname` varchar(100)) ....But it does not seem to work.
I am copying the template with header before loading the data. I tried deleting Dataflow task, Excel Connection manager etc., nothing seems to work and there are no nulls in the data. I did this several times, workaround seems to not working this time.
Hi. I need to import excel file in database. i first need to do an unpivot task. the column names are dates and SSIS seems to be unable to pick up the column name as it is replaced by F2 F3 F4etc Can you advise of a solution. thanks ken
I have an excel file which i am reading through SSIS through MICROSOFT Office 12.0 Access Database Engine OLE DB Provider. My problem is that if the Excel file has data in a column as 123.45 which is displayed as 123. SSIS is able to pick 123 only and not 123.45. however if I change the data type to Numeric in the excel, SSIS is able to read data as 123.45.Any solution other than changing data type in Excel?
HI,I HAVE AN EXCEL SHEET WITH SOME DATA, I WANT TO IMPORT THAT DATA (CELLBY CELL WITH MANIPULATION) INTO THE SQL SERVER TABLES BY USING STOREDPROCEDURE(IF POSSIBLE).IF ANYBODY HAVE DONE SIMILER TYPE OF JOB OR KNOWING ABOUT IT, PLS. LETME KNOW.THANKS IN ADV.T.S.NEGI
I used the below code to read excel files in SSIS 2008R2 script component and it is working fine but when i copied it in Script Task of SSIS 2012, the code doesnt work. I have define one variable
Var_ExcelFileName and stored location of excel file.
/* Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services Script Component * Write scripts using Microsoft Visual C# 2008. * ScriptMain is the entry point class of the script.*/
using System; using System.Data; using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.Wrapper; using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Wrapper;
[Code] ....
I am getting errors in the below lines:

I am trying to get the contents of the Excel Files dynamically and dumping into the SQL Database using SSIS. Through WMI Event Watcher, I could find when one or more Excel files dumped in a particular folder and using ForEach Loop Container I was able to take all the filenames and pass it through Variables. But at the same time in the Data Flow, I have to pass each Sheet of an Excel File to the Excel Source control and export the data to my SQL Database using OLEDB Destination.
For that I need to get the names of each sheets in an Excel File and pass it to the Excel Source Control through variables. But when I give Data Access Mode as "Table name or view name variable" and provide the variable name in that, then it is giving an error message as "A destination table name has not been provided".
And at the same time, Since I was not able to provide an static Filename (as I am passing through Variables), when I tried to map the columns in the OleDB Destination, it is not allowing me to map the columns.
So all these things I should do at Run-time using Variables in SSIS. I don't want to hard-code any filenames or Sheet names. If any one of you have a solution, please share with me.
I have ssis package where I have excel connection manager with expression pointing to a variable which has path for location and name of excel spreadsheet to be create each with date on the name.ExcelFilePath points to variable for shared location where excel file will be saved.I have File system task for copying template excel file to destination location with date in file name.I drag and drop excel destination. Pointed to excel connection manager. Under data access mode, I have select table and view. When I try to select name of excel sheet, it says, no tables or views could be loaded. I should be able to see sheetname there so that I can map column. I only have option to create new spreadsheet. I want to use template to load data in excel file. I dont want to create new sheet. It was working before. But I opened the ssis package and its broken. I was able to see spreadsheet name before but I dont see it now even though I have not made any change to package.

i'm building a web page to help our support staff run and export their sql queries faster and more easily than going through the sql server manager. i found an article at codeproject [1] that i was able to customize to be more flexible, but i'm not sure how to get it to export the results of a query along with the comments that preceed the query.
for example, i have the following sql file: -- this query does a certain thing, and the comment can be pretty long at times, depending on how complicated the query is select * from table where columnid > 100would anyone be able to tell me how to edit Kolluri's export function to allow for a comment section? alternatively if his way of doing an export is out of date, i'd be interested in a newer way. most importantly, though, i need to be able to export the comments along with query results.my ultimate goal is to have a drop down list of databases on the server, a list of query files (from a certain consolodated folder) for them to run on the chosen database, a "test query" function, and an export function that exports the comments and results.[1] http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/ExportClassLibrary.asp
I guess nobodys heard of this? I'm using DTS to transform data to Excel spreadsheet. I have a DROP TABLE `data$` then a CREATE TABLE `data$` the old data is cleared but the new data is appended to the blank rows of the old data. So if I had 5 rows before now I have 10. And the new data has 5 blank rows before it.
I've tried deleting the excel file & replacing it with a new one. I've used the wizard thinking it was me but no good, it still happens.
Hi, I have an excel spreadsheet with several sheets. These sheets get populated with data from an external source database i.e. a third party application. I would like to create a SSIS package to read the data in each sheet. Please note that I do know how to create SSIS package to read an excel file with only one sheet. Is there a functionality in SSIS to loop though each sheet in one excel file? Thanks
My company has recently transitioned to a centralized Oracle database model. For the sake of security, the "powers that be" have also denied any query ability to any central tables. They refuse to create views or any other open tables for people to query. Instead, they provide a "tool" which people can use to download data - to Excel Spreadsheets. In the past, before this "improvement" lots of users in the local plants were able to query the old system to bring data into spreadsheets for reports, analysis, etc. Now the place is jammed to the hilt with linked spreadsheets - people do their "table joins" with linked cells and Excel VLookups (yuk). This is because the "powers that be" still demand that these reports, analysis, etc. be done.
I am trying to use SQL-DMO to create a table join between one of these Excel Data pulls and a MS SQL Server table in Excel so that I can join without VLookup. IS SQL-DMO the right way to go?
Has anyone done this? I think I am close, but I don't know how to use the SQL-DMO attached Excel table object I've created in a join. I can't see the object in MS Query. I am not adverse to doing the whole thing in VBA...
Here is another question. Most of these Data pulls using the "tool" (ball and chain, boat anchor) are done once a day or once a week. Would a better strategy be to create MS SQL server Tables that are dropped and re-written when the data is pulled into Excel? This would mean that the report worksheet does not have to import the Excel Data pull sheet to MS SQL when it updates its query.
I've a problem with excel destination spread sheet.I've created a package which pulls the data from sql server and load it into excel sheet.The main thing Ive to do is I've to create different destination tables(work sheets) for different data.i.e.,The source is a sql query which pulls the data in groupwise with group by clause.So,I've to create individual work sheet for each group with that data.How it can be done.Please, advice me.
I'm just starting with SSIS and want to create a reusable package which imports from an excel file which can be specified at runtime. I can expose the filename of the excel file as part of the connectionString property but the sheet is the openrowset property which is a custom property and therefore isn't exposed as part of the external configuration. Does this make sense? Is there an easy way to specify the sheet to import at run time?
Hi , I am using SQL Server Business Inteligence Developement Studio for SSIS. I want to change the Excel FileName and Sheet name for excel source at the run time. Please suggest me how is it possible.
Is there a way to update a specific cell(s) in an excel? I have an excel with charts and graphs which use as data source a range of cells from another sheet within the same spreadsheet. Is there a way update a specific cell from within the sql using openrowset()... ?
