I am using VS2012 and creating a package on a 64bit machine to import some data from a .xlsx file. My question is that I am getting an error for the Excel connection manager, do I need to install some kind of excel drive or excel itself on the machine in order to be able to import the data?
View 6 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to import data from an Excel spreadsheet using OPENROWSET or OPENDATASOURCE without having to explicitly define the filepath of the source file? Currently, I have this piece of code within a sproc:

Hi,
I have a excel file which i want to import the data to sql server... The sql server Data type for that particular column is
varchar and it has a contraint too like the data should be in this fashion 00000-0000 or 00000...
but when i try to import the data from the excel to sql server... 08545 just becomes 8545 (cause excel is treating it as a float) and so my insert fails...
what can i do to rectify the problem...

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
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server100DTSMappingFiles
Assuming one of these will control Excel defaults, which one is it? None of the names lend themselves to the Excel as a source. SqlClientToMSSql10?
Hello,
I have the following scenario, and my main question is why Excel Formatted file errors out while TXT formatted file does not? Any workaround would be helpful, but I do want to avoid dtexec, and still want to manage it as SSIS.
MAIN ISSUES - permission issue & excel connection issue
SSIS Package Run Directly (not SQL Job, not automated)
* Every format and and folder location works!
Package Run under SQL JOB
TXT Format
A. Project Folder - GOOD
B. Client Folder - FAILS!
Conclusion - TXT Format works, but Client Folder does not have sufficient permission for PRODsvcSQLDMS
EXCEL Format
A. Project Folder - FAILS!
B. Client Folder - FAILS!
Conclusion - EXCEL Format DOES NOT work. Maybe SSIS Excel Connection Bug.

Hi
I have an excel file with 2 rows that I am importing into a staging table. The format on the excel sheet is a custom one which is DD-MMM-YY so in the actual cell the data appears as 01-NOV-07 and 30-OCT-07. The format of the data in the input window above the spreadsheet is 01/11/2007 and 30/10/2007.
The format in the Excel source of the data flow task is Unicode String [DT_WSTR] length 255. I then have a data conversion step that changes this to a string [DT_STR] length 255 as the staging table is non unicode. I then have a derived column function that simply does a ISNULL replace on NULL values to blank. Finally there is an OLE DB destination which is the staging table.
This is where the problem occurs. If I breakpoint the package here and look at the staging table the dates now read as 11/1/2007 and 10/30/2007. The data type in the staging table is varchar 255. I am not doing any other transformations or T-SQL stuff on the data - it is being flipped to MM/DD/YYYY during the import.
By the way I am english hence I need the english variation on the date. I know i could put some T-SQL in to flip it around to english again but wondered why it was happening like this
thanks in advance
I have an Excel file(.xls) that I need to import to SQL Server database. I am trying to use the Import wizard. However, when I select the file and click next I get the warning "External table is not in the expected format.(Microsoft JET Database Engine)" . I opened the .xls file using a text editor. It looks like some html document.
<html xmlns="urnchemas-microsoft-comfficeffice"
xmlns:x="urnchemas-microsoft-comffice:excel"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">
<head>.................
I also used OPENQUERY to see if it works.
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0',
'Excel 12.0 xml;HDR=Yes;Database=C:myexcelfile.xls', 'SELECT * FROM [Table1$]');
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'Excel 8.0;Database=C:datamyexcelfile.xls', 'SELECT * FROM [Table1$]')
I get the following errors.
OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "(null)" returned message "External table is not in the expected format.".
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "(null)".
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)" reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.
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 "(null)".
When I open the file and save it to overwrite the existing .xls file it works fine.
Is there a way to import such files using SSIS without having to open and save it?
Thanks in advance!

l've the following situation,
l've some excel files controlled by Vendor which changing frequently. The only thing does not change is the header name of each column.
So my question is, is there any way to create a new table based on the excel file selected including the column name in SSIS? So that l can use the data reader as source to select those columns l am interested on and start the integration.
Thanks.

p/s : The excel header is at the row 7.
I have a table with 2 row:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[EABL](
[DSID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[ABLBELNR] [nvarchar](255) NULL)
If I make a XML formatfile which look like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<BCPFORMAT ...>
<RECORD>
<FIELD ID="1" xsi:type="CharTerm" TERMINATOR=" " MAX_LENGTH="20"/>
</RECORD>
<ROW>
<COLUMN SOURCE="1" NAME="ABLBELNR" xsi:type="SQLNVARCHAR"/>
</ROW>
</BCPFORMAT>
then the import failed with the following error message:
[Microsoft][SQL Native Client]All bound columns are not read-only
If I delete the identity column then the import works correct.
What can I do, so that I can import with the identity column ?
Thanks for you help

Hello,
I have an SSIS package that basically runs a query and exports to an Excel destination. Everything works fine except for a date field that I use. When I preview the export it the date looks fine, as in a 1/7/07 2:05 PM for example. However, when I look at the actual Excel file/Export it will list the date as 1/7/07 without the time. I then have to format the column to the right date format in Excel for it to display correctly. I want to prevent the manual formatting due to the fact that this file needs to be automated.
Is there any way to make this happen?
Thanks,

Hi,
I'm developping a web application and I need to import a data from an excel file to sql server 2005.
It works very well locally (visual studio & sql server & the excel file on the same machine).
But it doesn't work when visual studio & excel file are in a machine and sql server is in another server.
I have always the same problem:
'C:Documents and SettingsmomoBureauFile.xls' n'est pas un chemin d'accès valide. Assurez-vous que le nom du chemin d'accès est correct et qu'une connexion est établie avec le serveur sur lequel réside le fichier.
Could any one help me please ?!
Thank you in advance.

Please advise.

Hi, recently I encountered the following problem:
I tried to execute a stored procedure on the newly installed SQL 2005 Server (now on x64 Win Server 2003) which imports an Excel-File into a DB table.
We use OPENROWSET to access the Excel data. But I recognized this is dependent on Jet OLE DB which seems is not available for x64 windows.
Is there another way to import excel data using a stored procedure.
thank you in advance, rene
