Hi, I need to import an SQL string from MS Excel 2003 to SQL SERVER 2000. The string I need to import is composed by 5 different several blocks and looks like:
The detail of the SQL string is at: http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/showpost.aspx?postid=2093921&siteid=1&sb=0&d=1&at=7&ft=11&tf=0&pageid=1
I am trying to implement OJ's suggestion: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2117223&SiteID=1 to use multi - batch processing to import the string to SQL SERVER, something like:
Code Snippet Dim SqlCnt, cmd1, cmd2, cmd3 'set the properties and open a connection
cmd1="use my_db" cmd2="create table mytb" cmd3="insert into mytb"
I am using a Excel Source to get the data from an excel file to sql server 2005 table. A couple columns are coming in a double precision float, but some values have characters in them, but those values are coming out as null, even though I changed the datatype from float to unicode string. Any inputs on resolving this will be much appreciated.
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?
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.
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.
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
I have an Excel sheet that is dynamically updated (through DDE) and I want to import this data to a table in SQL Server 2005. Using SQL Server Management Studio to configure an Excel data source as a linked server. (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306397/EN-US/)
Following the first 5 steps should let me acces the table (but I cannot view the data in SQL Server 2005). However, I could not find how to export the data into an existing table. Does anyone know how or can give a pointer to document describing how to do this?
Hello, I am new to this sql server reporting server technology. I have a requirement like the table header should repeat in all pages of the exported excel's print preview. So I have created the header columns with fixed lenths as same as table's header in the page header of the report. Then only the Header will repeat in all pages of the print preview.
But the problem is when doing like this, many of the columns have been merged together. The report layout is ok. But cant sort the data. It says a message "This operation requires the merged cells to be identically sized."
In some forms i have found the header control's edges need to be sized identically with the tables' columns edges. I did it. But still the columns are merged when exporting.
i have made some Data Mining Model Examples in Excel 2007 (not temporarily!). They where there after leaving an re-opening Excel. I have used them several times. Then I want to look, if I can see them also via SQL Server Managment Studio in the Analysis Services. There where nothing in the DMAddInDB in Analysis Services.
And after this, in Excel my DataMining Models have disappeared and all Models i have made since this disappeared also.
Perhaps I have destroyed the database. But will this happen every time? Can I share Data Mining Models I have made with Excel with Projects in SQL Server Analysis Services?
I have a problem with retreving a excel data through excel source component.
I have source component as Excel Source which will connect to my .xls sheet. To retrieve the values from the sheet i am using a query as, "SELECT F14,F3 FROM [Charac Defn & Assgnment$]"
The column F14 is not formatted so that the format of the cell is "General" I have a different type of values in the F14 column such as "PE","PES",15,20,20.00,8888.9999 etc.. While i click on preview button of Excel source it shows only the text values and not the int or decimal values, its returning NULL for those cells. I tried to use convert function, its throwing an error as
TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio ------------------------------ There was an error displaying the preview. ------------------------------ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Undefined function 'Convert' in expression. (Microsoft JET Database Engine)
Is there any other function to change the format of the cell or i need to some thing else Please help me how to solve this issue.
When I open the spreadsheet in Excel 2000, it works fine. When I try to print, it crashes Excel. In testing, I narrowed it down to the Header/Footer, because it also crashes when I go to Page Setup and click on the header/footer tab.
However, I can print the same spreasheet from Excel 2007.
Am I just dealing with a "you need to upgrade all your clients" situation, or is there a known issue with certian formatting that is passed out with reports that is not supported by older versions of Excel?

I have an sql server table which serves as a criteria table for my sql server query.
i wish to update the sql server table from the excel worksheet. The intention is to allow the end user to change the values in a specific column in the sql server table via excel.
The table in question has the following fields
SELECT [Cluster] ,[Max_Break_btw] ,[RefD_Max_Break] ,[DischD_Max_Break] ,[MaxReviewPeriods] FROM [databseName].[dbo].[SpellClusterAssum]
I will like to change / update the values in the "[Max_Break_btw]" column.
I searched the list but did not see anything related.
I cannot open a file directly exported from RS in the Excel format. If I open the file in the Windows version and then close it, no need to even save it, I can then open it with the Mac version of Excel. The file size after closing is about 2K less so the RS program is adding something onto the file that the Mac version does not like. It will crash Excel when trying to open.
I cannot export the report as CSV as it will not correctly import into Excel on the Mac.
I've been googling this for a while now and can't seem to find any elegant answers.
I'm looking for an automated way to present a FORMATED Excel Spreadsheet to the Customer from a stored procedure output.
Can anyone advise me the best method of doing this - should I / can I assign an Excel Template to the DTS Task output ?
His mind is set on Excel and the formatting is basic and easy to write in a Macro which I've done, but this requires human interaction to finish the task (Automated Run Once on opening etc).
In an ideal world an individual would send an email to the Server with two formated parameters (@FromDate & @ToDate) and would be emailed back a ready formatted S/Sheet. But I believe he would be willing to just select the relevant SpreadSheet for the Daily / Weekly / Monthly periods dumped.
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.
Hi, I am new to ASP.net. I have worked on a VB.net code to export data from sql server to excel. The code is simple and works well.

I have users entering data on an excel spreadsheet. I want that data to go to Ms SQl Server (local) database and into a table called logcall_table. How do I do it? More prcisely, how do i do it in detail? I can not find answers on the net and I am really lost. you can also refer to "SQL from Excel to MS SQL Server 7.0" my earlier post on this issue for more detail on how I have been trying to do it.
I need to create a "Master Customer Database" of all our mailing lists. There are about 60-70,000 total contacts in about 25 separate Excel spreadsheets. Most formatted like this: First/Last/Company/Address/City/State/Zip/Phone/List/e-Mail. There are duplicates on different lists, so for example the same name/address might be on 3 of the lists. I want to do away with the 25 separate lists and create one Master database. The Master database must eliminate all duplicate entries, yet still note where the duplicates came from. For example if John Smith was on the Goodyear list and the Michelin list, I only want one record of him, but I need to know he was on both lists for segmenting purposes. The Master list must have this field that shows what list/lists they came from so that they can be segmented and mailed/e-mailed/called, etc... Questions:Do you think in this circumstance it would be better to create an Access Database? SQL database? Can these easily be segmented/filtered and exported to CSV/XLS/Word? I'm just trying to figure out basic structure of the databeses. any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.Thanks

I'm trying to import an excel spreadsheet into SQL Server. I keep getting an error saying that 2 columns cannot except NULL values. Here's the setup of each file.
SQL TBL: My table has 9 columns. the first column is a Primary Key and IDENTITY(1,1). My last column is a dateCreated column with a default of getDate(). Both values are set to NOT NULL. The 7 inside columns are just plain varChar datatypes.
XLS: My spreadsheet has 7 columns which corelate to the 7 inside columns of my SQL TBL. I do not want to specify my first and last columns because they should be unique to the SQL TBL (identity and getDate()).
Any help with how to do this would be great. If you need more info, please let me know.

I am writing a custom application which will allow users to upload data in a Excel to SQLServer.
The problem I have is that Excel can come with a number of worksheets. I would ideally like to read from the default work sheet - is there a way I can specify that my code should only pick up the default worksheet?
