I am exporting data to an Excel file via a scheduled DTS package. I need to be able to either overwrite the existing Excel file or delete it. I haven't found a way to do this yet. Any help, comments, or direction will be appreciated. TIA

Hello there!
We are having some problems over here after our SQL2005 upgrade.
If we try to use an excel file that previously accessed the SQL2000 database (same DSN name and credentials), and then try to refresh the data after the 2005 upgrade, we get the errormessage "[Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]User 'DOMAINusername' does not have permission to run DBCC TRACEON."
We have tried to delete and recreate the DSN file.. Tried to use SA user instead (with offcourse full access)..
An even bigger problem is that we can not even get into msquery to copy the SQL query to make a new file, the same problem appears.
Please note that if we try to make a new external database query it works fine!
Any suggestions?

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.

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

Hello,
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 am using Reporting Services 2005 SP2 to serve up the report that is exported to Excel.
Any assistance is appreciated.

While importing data from Excel source , some column is getting null value even though excel column has value.To Resolve the issue we tried with

1.Change the Value of the Row TypeGuessRows from 8 (Default value) to 0 and ImportMixedType = text
• xls
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftJet4.0EnginesExcel
1.Change the Value of the Row TypeGuessRows from 8 (Default value) to 0 and ImportMixedType = text
the connection string of the excel
UPPER(REVERSE(SUBSTRING( REVERSE(@[User::VarInputExcelFile]), 1, 5) ) ) == ".XLSX" ? "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" + @[User::VarInputExcelFile] + ";Extended Properties="Excel 12.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1";":"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data

by doing the above setting also , the column is coming as null from excel source even though there is data in excel.
Hi,
I have reinstalled Office 2007 (to changre the license key)
after this, the data mining excel add-in failed to load.
the "COM add-ins" displays: "not loaded. a runtime error occurred during the loading"
reinstalling the add-in doesn't solve the problem
installing the 2008 version don't solve the issue too.
There is no other information, what can I do to solve the issue?
thanks.
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.
Is there a work around for this?
Thanks.

Hi All
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.
Thanks

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 have made a web application using SQL Server 2005
Express with a few admin pages that require login. I used the SQL
Server Managment Studio Express to setup users and groups and it works
fine. But the web server has SQL Server 2000 and all I get is a
user id and password to access the database. It seems I cannot use the
Login control I put on my "login.aspx" page becuase it uses the
integrated authentication which chokes on 2000. I am afraid I wonlt be
able to use some of the 2.0 features such as profiles, ... Is
this the way 2.0 works with SQL Server 2000? Should I ditch the ISP if
they only give me a single access to database with no provisions to
create users. (I was told I had to create a "Users" table and manually
assign ids and passwords and that I can only use the user id and
password they supplied to setup the connection string in the script.)I appreciate your help.
Does anyone know when SP1 will be available for SQL2000??
Thanks,
Steve Bajada

I am developing a Crystal Reports App in VS2005 (VB). I was originally working on an XP machine with MSDE and stored procedures where it worked fine.
I then transferred the development to a Win2003 machine with SQL2000 and am now getting the following error;
Failed to open a rowset. Description: 'Get_Calls_By_MLO_Date' expects parameter '@DT1' which was not supplied. Plus some other error detail.
Here is the SP.

If I transfer everything back to the XP machine it works fine.
Any ideas?

I want to insert some data into my SQLServer,For example：insert into xcjl(zch,xcsj) values('027741',getdate())

Hi all,
We're beginning to migrate our 6.5 DB's to SQL2000. A question came up regarding naming conventions for stored procedures. In BOL it says that for SQL2000:
"Stored procedures with the prefix sp_ are first looked up in master. If a user-defined stored procedure has the same name as a system-supplied stored procedure residing in master, SQL Server always finds the system-supplied stored procedure. "
Behavior in 6.5 was the opposite: SQL Server searched the current database followed by a search in master.
We started several months ago renaming user stored procedures to "usp_XXX", but we still have many non-system sp's that still use "sp_". I'm looking for opinions of whether we should bite the bullet now and rename all our non-system sp's at this time; prior to moving our production environment to SQL2000. Will we see a performance gain since SQL will not have to hit master first before going to the current DB?
Any and all opinions welcome!
Thanks,
Tom Rosebrook

When bcp'ing in data into an sql 6.5 table that is NOT nullable, records in the text file that contain nulls are ommited, but valid records without nulls are inserted.
However, using exactly the same table structure and files on a newly installed sql 2000 server (sp2), as soon as the first invalid record in the text file (i.e. with a null value)is encountered, bcp'ing is terminated and NO records are inserted.
I can't find any option in bcp/sql 2000 to allow me to carry out a load as before.
The help files state that the default no. of invalid records allowed is 10 (both versions sql), and explicitly setting the -m option of bcp to 10 still doesn't work.
Most of the data i receive has at least one duff record
Is there an option in sql 2000 that allows me to have x number of duff records inserted before a full rollsback occurs?
I can't find anything in technet, msdn or books online.
In a replication environment:
Does SQL 2000 standard edition support replication if it would be configured as a subscriber.
Is SQL 2000 Enterprise Edition required for a Publisher and Distributor or can you get away with standard edition.
In a web site environment how many CALs are needed when users access the database via webservers and middleware.
Thanks
I am experimenting with the FOR XML AUTO clause in SQL2000, but instead of nicely structured XML I get one continuous string oftags that can't be parsed by IE5.5
The BOL seem to indicate just running the query in Query Analyser will produce nicely formatted XML output - can anybody tell me what is wrong?
I need some strong points for the management to convince them to upgrade to sql2000 now than waiting for 6 months.
We are currently in process of developing this new product. All development is on sql7. I want to upgrade our database to sql2000 now rather than waiting after the release which might be in another 3 months.
I crashed my HP portable that has SQL2000 ENT installed and I re-installed XP-Pro +SP1 and when I install SQL2000 ENT it refused to install saying ENT cannot install in this O/S. Did I miss anything ?
I went and checked another XP-Pro W/S and SQL2000 is intalled OK.
Anybody has any idea ?
Thanks,
Frank
