SQL 2012 :: Excel Spreadsheet Data Connection To Read-only Database
Aug 10, 2015I've created an excel spreadsheet with a data connection. This data connection uses a query that runs against a read-only database.
The issue I'm having is that the query never seems to finish running against the database, whether I open the Excel spreadsheet to view the data or run the query in SSMS.
I created the connection on the Data ribbon by going to From Other Sources --> From SQL Server and using the Data Connection Wizard.
Is there some kind of setting or property I'm missing that would allow this query to finish running?

SQL Server 2012 :: Converting Large Excel Spreadsheet To Normalized Data
Aug 7, 2014I have a large excel spreadsheet created by finance user that contains several decades worth of sales data.
Here is a small sample:
Guest Count
Unit ID1/2/2011 1/9/2011
3 0
7 0
8 0
90 0
151696 1202
222769 1914
232704 2110
250 0
282838 1882
331089 691
363581 3064
371469 1062
I need to get this data into an SQL table in the following form so I can use it to further manipulate the data and update several other tables. I am thinking that UNPIVOT or CROSS APPLY might be the way to go, but am not sure how to code it.
The desired output:
Unit IDDate Guest Count
31/2/2011 NULL
71/2/2011 NULL
81/2/2011 NULL
91/2/2011 0
151/2/2011 1696
and so on ......
The spreadsheet has 2900 columns and 3500 rows so performance is definitely a consideration as well.
SQL 2012 :: Using Excel In SSIS To Import Data From Spreadsheet To Staging Table?
Feb 5, 2015I'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?

Excel Files, Multiple Tabs
May 8, 2008I know from experience that the Excel connection mechanisms are somewhat limited. I was wondering if anyone has come across a solution to this problem.
We receive an excel file from a business line. Basically a list of account mods for a given month. Due to the tabular nature of Excel, sometimes the amount of mods exceeds the limits of one tab and has to roll over into a second tab. The names of the tabs reflect the file creation date, which often is the last day of the month, but not always. Here is a question related to this-
Is there a way to "query" a the list of tabs in an Excel file, so that I could store that record set in an SSIS variable, use it to loop through all the tabs? If no, can you think of a way to somehow get the value of the tab name or names so that I can use it to dynamically set the OpenRowset value of the Excel Data Source?
Thanks for your help, everyone!

Reporting Services :: 2014 Enterprise - Multiple Tabs When Saving To Excel?
Oct 28, 2015We are running 2014 enterprise. Our users love to see related report sections saved in separate tabs of the same spreadsheet. Is there a way to control how ssrs will save a report to excel when it comes  to tabs? Â
Are subreports a/the way (and only way) to do this?Â
By sections I mean they might have a grid, then another grid, then a graph then another graph and so on.Â
What property controls the tab name? What if they want to combine 2 or more sections into one tab?

Import Data From Excel Spreadsheet Into A Table
Jul 17, 2013I 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.

Import Data To SQL Server From Excel Spreadsheet
Aug 22, 2006Hi all,
Firstly, i'm new to integration services and have only done a little with DTS jobs.
I'm trying to create an integration services project which will import data from an two worksheets in an Excel spreadsheet to two different tables in a database. I'm looking at only one table at present to make things a little more understandable.
One stipulation i have is that i need to be able to specify a variable value and insert that as an additional column in the database. I have and Excel source and a SQL destination both of which have been set up with there specific connection managers. I also have a variable which i add in using the derived column task.
When i try to debug this i am getting a few problems. I think these may be to do with the fact that although the worksheet in Excel has 20 rows (1st column shows these numbers) i only want those rows with data in them. If i preview the excel table it shows all the rows including those with null columns. Is there some sort of way that i can only get the rows that have data in the columns after the row number. I.e. can i select rows that do not have a second column value = to NULL.
I hope this makes sense and that someone can help me out with this problem.
All help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Grant
P.S.
Apologies. I have this resolved now. I didn't see the option to use a SQL command as apposed to a table or view when setting up the Excel source.
I am still however getting the following errors which i'd appreciate some help on:

Using SSIS To Perform A Data Import Of An Excel Spreadsheet

I am interested in using SSIS to import an excel spreadsheet into a SQL server database. My biggest concern is how to handle/manage errors that might occur when the import process occurs. Can anyone give me any guidance on this?
I could write some C# code to do the import and to create a custom .txt file listing errors that occur on import. Using C# code to do the import seems like I would just be reinvinting the wheel so to speak.

Import Excel Spreadsheet Data Into SQL Server Database Table Using SqlBulkCopy
Dec 13, 2007
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.

SQL Server 2012 :: Including Spreadsheet Data Into Exclusion Criteria?
Sep 18, 2015I am trying to import data from 4 columns in a spreadsheet, the Columns are (Last Name - First Name - ID - Code) and this spreadsheet has around 10k records. I want to add what is in this spreadsheet to the query I have below that uses the EXCEPT operator but I am not sure the best way to go about it.
Using the example I have filtered below for the name "Denise Test", at the end of the day I want everything that is in the spreadsheet to also be excluded from the results.
So before the spreadsheet lets say the 2nd query referencing table C has the following results for Denise Test
Last_Name First_Name ID Code
Test Denise 1 5
Test Denise 2 4
After adding the spreadsheet I want it to show this:
Last_Name First_Name ID Code
Test Denise 1 5
Test Denise 2 4
Test Denise 3 3
Here is the query as it stands now without the inclusion of the spreadsheet:
SELECT
ta.last_name,
ta.first_name,
tb.ID,
tb.code
FROM
TableA ta
INNER JOIN TableB tb
[code]....

Mar 25, 2008
In my SSIS package I have a loop container that I am running the same code against 4 servers.
I have the package export the SQL data to an Excel spreadsheet that has multiple tabs.
Is there a way I can change the tab on the fly or do I need to create a Connection for the same spreadsheet 4 times
Each Connection pointing to a different tab?
I tried to set up a expression for the Excel Connection Manager to use the InitialCatalog for the tab and change it
based on the script in the loop however this causes the following error:

Selecting A Single Data Source From Multiple Data Sources
Aug 4, 2006Hi,
I am pretty new to SSIS. I am trying to create a package which can accept data in any of several formats. i.e. CSV, Excel, a SQL Server database/table and import the data into my destination database.
So far i've managed to get this working OK. However I am now TOTALLY stuck. I'm currently trying to just concentrate on the data sources being a CSV (using a Flat File Data Source) and/or an Excel Spreadsheet.
I can get the data in and to my destination using a UNION ALL component and mapping the data sources to it so long as both the CSV file and the Excel spreadsheet exist.
My problem is that I need my package to handle the possibility that only the CSV file might exist and there is no Excel spreadsheet. In which case i'd like the package to ignore the Excel datasource completely. Currently either of my data sources do not exist I get errors and the package terminates.
Is there any way in SSIS that I can check all my data sources to see which ones exist (i.e. are valid). If they exist I want to use them. If it doesn't exist i'd like to disgard it (without error - as long as there is a single datasource the package should run)
I've tried using the AcquireConnection method in a script task on each of my connections, hoping that it would error if the file/datasource did not exist. It doesn't though (in the case of an Excel datasource it just creates a empty excel file for me).
The only other option I can come up with are to have seperate packages depending on the type of data we want to import and then run a particular package depending on the format of the source data. This seems a bit long winded. I am pretty sure I must be able to do what I want to achieve but I can't work out how.
I'll be grateful to anyone who can send me any tips/hints/links on how I can achieve this.
Many thanks

View 4 Replies View RelatedRename Tabs In Excel File Created By SSRS
Nov 13, 2007
I love SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS), but it doesnt let me name the tabs when exporting to Excel. The feature is well documented as not being available.
So I figured I can use the cell(1,1) on each tab to contain the tab name, and have an SSIS job poll a file share, open the file, read the cell, rename tabs, rename the file, and then email out the file. Polling the directory and emailing is a piece of cake, but I can't find any way to rename a tab without having Excel loaded on the SERVER. Not to mention instantiating an entire instance of Excel on the SERVER every time I want to do this.
I want to leverage SSRS, and preserve the formatting of the excel file, which is why I don't just dump the data in with SSIS to begin with.
Anybody have any ideas?

DTS Transfer Into A Excel Spreadsheet
Dec 28, 2000I 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?

DTS Help With Uploading An Excel Spreadsheet
Apr 4, 2007Can 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.
