Scientific Notation While Taking Data From EXCEL Into SSIS
Apr 25, 2008
Hi ,
I have one problem regarding format of mixed data columns in excel. I am using this query to retieve data from my excel spreadsheet
Select * from OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'Excel 8.0;IMEX=1;IHDR=yes;Database=E: est.xls;HDR=YES',
'SELECT * FROM [original$]')
to retrieve data from excel sheet.
I am able to retreive all data (numaric and text) , but for few cells I am getting wrong values.
like this
15106749310-> 1.51067e+010
70400672657-> 7.04007e+010
48110753143-> 4.81108e+010
registry setting are €œtext and 0€³. I am also using IMEX=1 in connection string.
I have numeric and text data both in same column,
eg:
70400503549
70400672657
KF1080420908
KF1260370908
KF1260880908
KF1260960908
Could you please help me to get the correct value from excel .
thanks in advance ,

Hi All,
Am I missing something or is there something odd with float data types. i know that float is not the most precise definition but i came across something really odd today.
first let me define the scenario.
this is sql server 2005, standard edition build 3042.
I have a table defined as
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[ASSET](
[Property_Num] [numeric](10, 0) NOT NULL,
[Accrual_Factor_Val] [float] NULL
)
the accrual_factor_val was updated to a value of 0.00005 then the web service failed because the proc returned 5E-05!
i opened the table, and discovered this is the stored value. is this correct?
thoughts and ideas?
thanks for your input!

I've got some values stored in nvachar(255) field stored by mistake as scientific notation (eg 7.5013e+006 instead of 7501301) and I need to convert and update the field with normal entry, not scientific notation. Is there a way to do that?

We sometimes have small values stored in a column with datatype of float like 0.000644470739403048 which is being converted to -5.8E-05. Perhaps that is OK to be stored in the database however I need the value in decimal format to use. (I'm using longitude values in google maps).
is there anything I can do at the database level. I was looking at the properties which is 53 numeric precision and 8 length.

I'm trying to find a way to format a FLOAT variable into a varchar inSQL Server 2000 but using CAST/CONVERT I can only get scientificnotation i.e. 1e+006 instead of 1000000 which isn't really what Iwanted.Preferably the varchar would display the number to 2 decimal placesbut I'd settle for integers only as this conversion isn't businesscritical and is a nice to have for background information.Casting to MONEY or NUMERIC before converting to a varchar works finefor most cases but of course runs the risk of arithmetic overflow ifthe FLOAT value is too precise for MONEY/NUMERIC to handle. If anyoneknows of an easy way to test whether overflow will occur and thereforeto know not to convert it then that would be an option.I appreciate SQL Server isn't great at formatting and it would be fareasier in the client code but code this is being performed as adescription of a very simple calculation in a trigger, all stored tothe database on the server side so there's no opportunity for clientintervention.Example code:declare @testFloat floatselect @testFloat = 1000000.12select convert(varchar(100),@testFloat) -- gives 1e+006select cast(@testFloat as varchar(100)) -- gives 1e+006select convert(varchar(100),cast(@testFloat as money)) -- gives1000000.12select @testFloat = 12345678905345633453453624453453524.123select convert(varchar(100),cast(@testFloat as money)) -- givesarithmetic overflow errorselect convert(varchar(100),cast(@testFloat as numeric)) -- givesarithmetic overflow errorAny suggestions welcome...CheersDave

I would like to know recommendations on automate the following:
1. I want to know how to take data from various sql server 2000 data queries and load the data onto excel spreadsheets in an automated method. Some of the data loaded into the excel spreadsheets load detail data and some load data into pivot tables.
Is there any way that the data can be taken from sql server to the excel spreadsheets using odbc connections?
2. Some of the data taken from sql server 2000 database is loaded into pdf files. Is there any way this process can be automated?
Thanks!

Hi,
I am new to SQL 2005. I have to design schema for scientific data warehouse. Data is available in 2 or more flat data files recorded at 1 sec interval. At Least 2 of the data files have 100+ columns. I am inclined to create a table per data file type. I want to know If this is correct/optimal for me to do?
I don't think I can create normalize tables based on the headers in these Data files.
Primary Objective of this data warehouse is make it available for reporting services and Analysis Services.
Any suggestions or tutorials for me?
Thanks,

Good morning all,
I have been dealing with a recurring problem importing Excel data into SSIS. When I pull data in from an Excel source, the data is somehow changed. In the most recent example of this, I was importing about 28,000 rows from a single sheet of Excel data, all of it formatted as Text on the Excel side. The key field, Charge_Code, is an 8 digit numeric field but it may eventually contain alphanumeric identifiers so I am interpreting this as text. The majority of the rows import without any obvious errors; however, about 7,000 of these Charge_Codes are not being passed over into the subsequent components properly. For example, I had a Charge_Code that was 30100100 in my Excel source, but it came across as 30100000.
I've tried a number of tricks to solve this problem, including changing the Jet row sample "guess" parameter and using the IMEX driver directive described here: http://msmvps.com/blogs/nickwienholt/archive/2006/03/15/86379.aspx.
Interestingly enough, if I save the Excel spreadsheet into a CSV and use the resulting CSV file as my data source, these problems disappear.
I have experienced the same type of problem on 2 different computers, using several different packages and Excel sources. Are these problems common to those using Excel as SSIS data sources, and if so are there any reasonable workarounds to solve?
Thanks in advance,
Tim

Hi,
I have a DTS in SQL Server 2000, Where I am importing some data from a remote server (SQL 2000) to local server (SQL 2000).And this is working fine. it is taking max of 1 min to execute the package.
Now I have created the same DTS in sql server 2005 (SSIS) where the source server is sql server 2000 and the destination server is 2005.and I have created the ssis in that server. The same logic which i have created in sql 2000. But here it is taking almost 10 min to execute the package.
Where as the same in sql server 2000 taking max of 1 min. Why this happening.. Is there any configuration to execute the SSIS package.?

I am attempting to use the foreach loop structure in an SSIS package toloop through however many Excel files are placed in a directory andthen perform an import operation into a SQL table on each of thesefiles sequentially. The closest model for this that I was able to findin the MS tutorial used a flat file source rather than Excel. Thatinvolved adding a new expression to the Connection Manager that set theconnection string to the current filename, as provided by the foreachcomponent. That works just fine, but when I attempt to apply the samemethod to an Excel source, rather than a flat file source, I cannot getit to work. I see the following error associated with the Excel sourceon the Data Flow page: "Validation error. Data Flow Task: Excel Source[1]: The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "ExcelConnection Manager 1" failed with error code 0xC020200." I think thatit's just a matter of getting the right expression, and I thought thatperhaps I should be constructing an expression for ExcelFilePath ratherthan the Connection String, but I have fiddled with it for hours andhaven't come up with something that will be accepted. Has anybody outthere been able to do this, or can perhaps refer me to somedocumentation that contains an example of what I am trying to do?Thanks for any help you can give.

I currently have a export that takes data from my SQL Server 2005 DB and exports it into Excel. This process works correctly. My excel template has the first row headers and the data is dumped in the row after the header. I would like to know if it is possible for me to add borders around my data without doing it within the template? I don't know how much data is going to be exported so I can't put borders within the template. I put borders around the headers to see if it will copy the formatting down to the data and it didn't. Thank You for any help.

Hi All,
I need to do data transfer from three tables in SQL server 2005 to the single Excel sheet as a report. Even If I create a Lists or named range, I couldn't able to transfer the data into the Lists. The idea is, whenever the data is transfered into the Lists, the three Lists (or Range) having data should grow separately.
Currently the data is transfered out of the Lists.
Anyone can help me.
Thanks

I am using Office 2007 beta. I have a SSIS package that exports the records from sql server to excel file, when number of records is less than 24000 then it exports well, but if number of records is greater than 24000 than it does not export anything to excel file.
But when I give administrative privilages to the service account under which the SSIS package is running, it export even more than 24000.
On prod server giving administrative privilages to service account is not a good option. I don't know what are the minimum permissions it needs while exporting more data into excel 2007 file.
I thought this is the problem in office 2007 beta, but same behaviour is with RTM also.
Thanks in advance.

I am new to SSIS.
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.

I have problems when exporting data into Excel file from SSIS. It all works fine with numeric columns but an apostrophe is attached at the beginning of each text cell. I tried using derived columns and data conversions but it didn't work. It seems to me that problem is in 'excel destination' task... I saw many people had this kind of problems too... Is there any solution possible?
Thanks.

Hello,
I made a package in SSIS to copy some data from SQL server 2005 SP2 to Excel 2007. The package works fine, but generate errors. If I replace the OLE DB destination for Excel 2007 with a Excel destination for Excel 2003 then they errors don't appear. The problem is that I have to use Excel 2007 because the data contains more than 65000 records. I thought maybe it was to much date, but if I limit the amount of data with top 100 it also generate errors.
The errors are:

Hi All..
I have an issue where I'm trying to export data from Sql Server tables (or from a result set in a SP or view) into Excel Spreadsheets. Normally I would use a simple data flow to do this. However, I need to do this on-the-fly because the schema of the Sql data is not static. The table could be a different one or the result set would have column schema that is not always the same.
The constant in all of this is that the spreadsheet columns and the table (or result set) column schema is identical. It's just that the column count and column names are not defined at design time, but would need to be defined at runtime.
Going from Excel to Sql Server is simple as I used a Script Task and the SQLBulkCopy class to dynamically transfer the data. However, BOL says that it's only one way (Data to Sql Server). Basically I need the to go the opposite direction now.
I have all of the information (SQL Table server, database, schema, and name and the Excel file path and name) already set up in variables and running through a ForEach container and I can dynamically change the variable information. I just need to figure out how to dynamically map the columns, create the spreadsheet file, and load the data into the spreadsheet. I'm sure this has been tossed around before. If someone could point me in the right direction I would most grateful.
Thanks.
Lee.

I have SSIS Projects taking a long time to open with packages with a large number of data flows. Is there a way to turn off validation of metadata when a package opens? Turn off validation during execution on SSIS Service (after previously validated in dev)? Or be able to control when validation takes place in general?
In my one package (1 of 5) I have 43 data flows (with a single source to target mapping) in 4 sequence containers, and it takes approximately 2-3 seconds per source to target mapping and sequence container to validate which will translate to 1 ½ to 2 ½ minutes to open. When the project with all 100+ tables for the data warehouse goes through validation, I can make coffee in the time it takes to open the project. I have to delete *.suo file (or verify all packages are closed in the designer and save the project file), and when I open the project, I have to jump immediately to SSISÃ Work Offline to set it to not validate the metadata to be able to work in a timely fashion. DelayValidation=TRUE does not help much.
Running in debug mode, has an effect of causing packages that were not open and validated to go through validation though I am not running those packages. Validate once during design and run forever.
Even if I re-open a package that I just closed from designer and had gone through validation, it will go through the validation process again.
It would be great if there could be an on-demand option off the menu bar to allow one to control when validation can take place for a project, or a more granular validation option for a specific data flow or container.

Hello,
I have a problem with the Import of an Excel file with SSIS and hope one of you can help me out.
There is a column with mixed data (format is TEXT) in an excel file and I want to import it as Text (DT_WSTR (255)).
So far everything works fine but some fields like "9760020" imports "9.76002e+006".
My settings so far are:
Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=<FileName>;Extended Properties="EXCEL 8.0;HDR=NO;IMEX=1"
In addition I altered the registry entry from Microsoft.Jet.engine.excel
TypeGuessRows to 0 (ImportMixedType = Text)
Has someone got a solution?

I'm in the middle of developing a Database for a hospital that measures its audits, inhouse operations, and finance. What we currently have and do everyday is collect data from a large database that is real time with patient data, progess, infomation, etc and dump it into a data warehouse that runs on TSI/Eclipsys. We run reports using a number of programs and dump it into Excel sheets that have charts, reports, etc. This Database for which I'm developing won't come soley from the TSI/Eclypsys source, but this is the only source thats updated regularly. I don't want to have in sync with TSI/Eclipysys in fear that every day when it updates data may be lost, not read, or worse won't be up date if there is a problem. My question is is it possible to run a query from Sequel Server 2005 that will take that data upon request using the reporing features on Sequel Server 2005. i.e. What if I need to run a report on measure B in department 12 from Jan 1-Feb 1, instead of being in sync, can I just write queries to take that information rather than double the data and take up twice the space and trouble. FYI, these datatypes rarely change in the TSI/Eclipsys data warehouse. This sure was long question and didn't intended it to be . Thanks for listening and hope to hear back.

But when I deploy and try to execute the package, I'm getting the below error.

I have package which pulls data from db table and creates a excel file extract.The flow is like this - A excel file template sits in the input folder folder for processing .The package starts by dropping excel sheet in the excel(which is clearing any data and columns available) once that is done it has script task which creates a new columns for the sheet and gives a sheet name as well .Then a execute sql task runs and pumps data into a table which serves as a source for the excel extract process .The excel extract process involves pulling data from the table and doing data conversion before it moves it into the oledb destination (excel file on file server).When I run the package I go and see that data is pushed down . I see top rows say 100 are empty and data appears after say 100 rows .
I tried deleting excel file and replacing with new one empty with columns and sheet name only but still it doesnt work?I am trying to understand what is making ssis behave like this and what can I do overcome the problem ?I read on google that we need to bring in file system task will move a template to working directory which is input folder but I dont want it to incorporate that logic as we need to push this package to production ASAP with very minimal change.

I'm using SSIS 2005 Enterprise edition, I'm creating a package that reads an excel (xls) file using the "excel source" component, and it dumps the data into an OLEDB destination (a sql server). When I drag the excel source component and create the excel connection to my file the component automatically reads the columns and their datatypes.
The problem is that I have a column which has numeric data and the package uploads as NULL every number that starts with a zero. (note: in excel this column is formatted as "text", despite it has only numbers, because it's the only way excel maintains the left sided zeros).
So I checked the data types by right clicking the excel source component -> show advanced editor and my surprise is that this column's data type is detected as double-precision float, and it doesn't let me change it. URL... but it only works when the first row of data has a number beginning with zero on this column. How to get the data imported correctly?
