View 1 RepliesI know this might be the wrong forums, but I thought that some SQL Server users might know the answer and have accomplished this before. Does anyone know how to run a SQL Server job through an Excel macro? I have the macro where it's entering the data into my database, but now I need to use the data by running the job. Thanks!

I am trying to run a Excel macro from a DTS package.I've created the macro and Batch file to run a macro, and i am executing a batch file from DTS package.I am able to run a macro when i am executing a DTS package manually.but its not working when i schedule the process. any solutions?
its not the security problem also.I've checked it.
I found this and have done everything it says to do, but I can't get the script to compile. Any ideas on how to run a access macro in SSIS??
Baiscally to execute an Access Macros in SSIS package we need to Download
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Access DLL from Office XP PIAs.
Download site
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=C41BD61E-3060-4F71-A6B4-01FEBA508E52&displaylang=en
1) Extract the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Access DLL from Oxppia.exe
2) Drag and Drop Microsoft.Office.Interop.Access DLL to Global Assembley Directory(GAC) ie: C:WINNTassembly for Windows 2000 -- C:WINDOWSassembly for ( Win Xp and Win 2003)
3) Copy paste Microsoft.Office.Interop.Access to C:WINNTMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727 for Windows 2000 -- C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727 ( Win Xp and Win 2003)
4) Add DLL reference in the Script Task
5) Add the below Code
1) Create a New Project in SSIS
2) Drag and Drop Script Task
3) Copy Paste the code in script task editor
Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop.Access
Try
Dim objAccess As New Access.Application
objAccess.OpenCurrentDatabase("D:TestMacro.mdb", False) ' Add the Access File Path
objAccess.DoCmd.RunMacro("Macro1") ' Replace Macro1 with the name of your macro
objAccess.CloseCurrentDatabase()
objAccess.Quit(Access.AcQuitOption.acQuitSaveNone)
objAccess = Nothing
Catch ex As Exception
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString())
End Try
Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success
hi,
I have already set up a DTS package to convert my data to an excel file and I would like to alter the format of my data through my DTS without having to write a macro.
Do you know how to do this?
Hi,
Is it possible to embed excel macros in an rdl report and run those macros while exporting the rdl report to excel.
Thanks,

Can you call run an excel macro as part dts step. I would imagine it would be some active script, but am not sure.
Any Ideas ?.
I am running SQL 7.0 sp2, excel 97.
How do I query an SQL Express database from within an Excel 2002 VBA macro?
For example, how could I accomplish this in an Excel macro.
SELECT myID FROM MyTable WHERE Compound = string in cell A1
And then put the resulting ID number in cell A2. The relationship between Compound and myID is always one to one.
Thanks to all.

To overcome the inability to manage the sheet tab names when exporting from Reporting Services to Excel, is there anyway to include a short macro with the exported Excel workbook to Auto_Run macro when the Excel file is opened to rename the tabs?

Hi All,
I didn't find an Excel forum here so I thought this might be the 'next best place'.
We have developed a 'packaged EDW' and the first version is all on the MSFT stack....though we do not want to use AS as we do want the product to be able to be back ended by other databases.....(heresy here, I know).
We have built what we are now called the 'Data Access Layer'.
The DAL is a suite of stored procedures.......the idea is simple.......ask a question via a SP with a set of parameters and it gives you a data stream in return. We are using Report Services first and it calls the DAL for its data.
But we have been thinking.....
The entire world has Excel on their desktops........and lots of those people love to have their reports in Excel (and not Report Services)....
We would like to find a really good way of using Exel on top of the Data Access Layer....so far, in looking into excel it seems we can really only run MS Query and return the data to a sheet and then go from there....this seems quite 'clunky'.
We are well aware of the idea of putting the data into AS and going from there...but we want to explore getting the data from SPs so that if we build some excel based reports and put the data into another database it will still work....
We have seen Oracle provides java add ins to Excel to get data directly from Oracle databases...
We are wondering if someone, somewhere, has developed 'the best' way of getting data from SPs into an excel workbook.
What we have are SPs to select options....such as time, product hierarchy, company reporting structure etc....and then the user selects from these options and the selections are passed to an SP to get the results for the selection..all the usual things needed for RS reports.....
We are wondering if someone has done something that is similar where the data is then delivered to Excel reports...
Our first big questions would be:
How to effectively select parameters for the report where the parameters are in the database?
How to effectively refresh the Excel reports on request or on a schedule?
How to most effectively imbed the calls to the stored procedures in Excel?
Sorry if I am in the wrong place....
Best Regards
Hello,
I have created a SSIS package which is getting data from SQL Server table to Excel File.
Step 1 : using Oledb to get records.
Step 2 : created Excel Connection and Excel Destination component
Step 3 : Configured the Excel File Path using variables.
Step 4 : Changed the property 64 bit FALSE
When try to run from BIDS it is running fine.
But
It is not running when try to run from SQL JOB.
The following Error i got:
: 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. ::: component "Excel Destination" (588) failed validation and returned error code 0xC020801C. ::: One or more component failed validation. ::: There were errors during task validation. ::
Kindly give solution ASAP.

Our IT department says to me all a stored procedure is, is a Macro. This is what Our network tech says to me. There are days I just want slap these people. This is the same one that made the Flat File comment, I think databases are very important and can be very complex I get annoyed when they IT people make them seems as if they are of no importance at all.
Venting again sorry

Here's the scenario. Using a campaigning applicaion for aneNewsletter. It writes to an Access table. I have an ASP web page thatwrites to another table. I chained 3 Access queries together into aMacro to copy that data to the campaigning table, give a numericidentifier to that record, and then delete all records with thatidentifier (in the 2nd table). This will keep the ASP > Access tableclean.The campaigning software allows for a pre-processing SQL command tobe run. I would like to automate the updating of the table byinitiating this Access Macro from the SQL command. Anyone have anyideas on the command/syntax?Thanks in advanceJasonJoin Bytes!

Greetings!I am now doing one type of analysis every month, and wanted to creattable names in a more efficient way.Here is what happens now, everytime I do the analysis, I will create atable called something like customer_20050930, and then update thetable by using several update steps. Then next month I will create atable called customer_20051031. Does anyone know if there is a betterway to do it? like using a macro variable for the month-end date? Noweverytime I have to change the table name in every single update step,which would cause errors if I forget to change one of them. By using amacro, I would only need to change it once.Thanks!

I have the following code below where I need to have all of the query results output into a .csv file to use in a VBA macro. The issue I am running into is that the data is not deliminating correctly and my rows are being shifted incorrectly. Any better way of out putting the results into a .csv file with a common delimiter.
-- Declare the variables
DECLARE @CMD VARCHAR(4000),
@DelCMD VARCHAR(4000),
@HEADERCMD VARCHAR(4000),
@Combine VARCHAR(4000),
@Path VARCHAR(4000),
@COLUMNS VARCHAR(4000)

Output from query (please post in a text editor. The line starting with (only ) should be on line 1 after 20 pks and is shifted to a new line.):

When we deploy any PowerPivot Data Model to SharePoint 2013, we get the following options-
1. Create New PowerPivot Report
2. Create New PowerView Report
3. Schedule Data Refresh
These options work fine as long as we deploy a normal Excel Data Model file like .xlsx . However, When I deploy Data Model with some VBA code (Macros, VB functions) contained within it i.e. Macro Enabled file - .xlsm,the above options didn't work. I got following error while creating a New PowerView report as It says that your Excel has unsupported features like Macro function.Can't we create a new PowerPivot/PowerView report with Macro Enabled Data Model? Is this not supported in SharePoint 2013?
In my environment, there is maintenance plan configured on one of the server and while running DBCC checkdb on a database of size around 200GB, log file usage of tempdb is increasing and causing the maintenance job to fail.
What can I do to make the maintenance job run successfully, size of the tempdb database is only 50GB and recovery model is set to simple. It cannot be increased as the mount point on which it is residing is 50GB.
If I start a long running query running on a background thread is there a way to abort the query so that it does not continue running on SQL server?
The query would be running on SQL Server 2005 from a Windows form application using the Background worker component. So the query would have been started from the background workers DoWork event using ado.net. If the user clicks an abort button in the UI I would want the query to die so that it does not continue to use sql server resources.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks
One of my stored procs, taking one parameter, is running about 2+ minutes. But if I run the same script in the stored proc with the same parameter hardcoded, the query only runs in a couple of seconds. The execution plans are different as well. Any reason why this could happen? TIA.

We have 10 sheets in Excel File and 10 sheet contains errror data. How to load 9 sheets data in to 1 destination and error data in to other destination?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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.

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.
Regards,
Yong Boon, Lim
p/s : The excel header is at the row 7.
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
