What other software, besides MS Excel, can I use to view *.cub files? We plan on giving OLAP access to some people. However, buying MS Office just for to get Excel is too expensive.
Even java applets would do. :)
How can I export a view to an excel spread sheet? I know with table there're import and export options, but how about views? Thanks.

Hi all,In MS SQL Management Console I can right-click on any Table and I havethe option All Tasks > Export Data where I can export the table toExcel. In a View however this isn't there. I have many views I wantto simply export to Excel, but the only way I've found to do it iscreating an ODBC connection to the MS SQL database from MS Access,linking the Views to Access Tables, and exporting from Access. surelythere's someway to export a View to Excel within MS SQL easily likeexporting a table...Thanks ---Alex

I am writing a SSIS package to load a lot of Excel files. I use SQL statement to select the Excel data. However, I found it's hard to dynamical set the table name (Excel Tab name) - the user name the Tab differently.
Any clue or better solution? Thanks,
Wendy,
I do not know if you can see my reply after yours. Any way I try it here again.
In the DTS Export Wizard, after select the source (SQL Server)and destination (Excel),
I have 2 choices:Table copy or query.
When I use query, I can place my sp there, and the export works fine exactly as you recommended.
Thanks a lot.
But when I selected a table copy, I was given a "Select Source Tables" popup form, I can
see all the table names there, but can not find any views in the database. I do not know why.
Am I in the right place this time?
Thank you very much for your quick help.

HiI'm rather new to ASP.NET (was working with win forms before) and having a few problems with my first app. To the point - this is an internal system - every week about 50 branches send financial reports to the headquaters where those excel files are validated against data in sql server. after file is uploaded to the server I'm opening it using Excel object model and iterating through it line by line. Apart from format and datatype checking, for each line there are ~2 stored procedures invokedEverything is working actually but my concern is performance.. After about 800 rows it is getting really slow.. Appreciate any comments on this.thanksAM
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a client who is sending me 800+ excel files each month with sales data. Each of the files is identical in structure, but has sales data for different stores. I receive all these files at the same time.
Is there a method with Data Transformation Services where I can have it work off of all the files in a given directory. I can set up DTS to work off of specific Excel files with no problem, but what I would like to do is set up a DTS so it could pull from each of the 800+ files.
Is this possible, or do I need to look at a solution outside of SQL to consolidate the Excel files first?
The Excel file would have columns similar to the following: store_id, zip_code, sales, transactions.
Hi,
Using SSIS, I am successfully importing data from excel files into a table in sql server 2005.
These excel files are ALWAYS open and are being updated from external sources i.e. third party tools.
After doing alot of investigations, I have reached the conclusions as follows:
When the excel files are NOT being updated, then the ssis package works
BUT when the excel files are being updated, then the ssis package does not work. The error is:
[Excel Source [749]] Error: 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.
Please note that the excel files MUST be open so that they get updated by the third party tool.
AND, every few minutes i.e. 5 mins, my ssis package should import these excel files.
Question:
How is it possible to load the excel data while it is being updated by external third party.
Thanks
It's very simple import, without any data modifications; from severalexcel files to one table.I tried the wisard and it gives me selection for only one file.I am not used to create DTS packages and schedule jobs, so I would needsome help.Thank youInna

Various excel files with the same structure will reside in a folder. These excel files should be exported daily in a Sql server table. If the data within the excel file according to an id is new then all data should be appended to the table, otherwise if the id exists in the sql server table then it must update the remaining corresponding fields.

Hi,
Trying to dynamically set the connectionstring property of the excel source.
This is what I enter instead of the hardcoded excel file paths:
"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + @[User::FileName] + ";Extended Properties=Excel 8.0;HDR=YES"
I get this error, every time I set the delay validation property of the dataflow tab to true.
Cannot detach from one or more processes.
The object invoked has disconnected from its clients
Do you want to terminate them instead?
Thanks
Hi,
I need to import around 200 excel file data into one table. Is there a way of doing this using SSIS or DTS? I know how to import single excel file into table but i need to automate this process for many files. All help appreciated
Thanks,
HEMAL
I 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!

Hi everybody, i'm new to SSIS, so it's possible that mine is a very stupid question
I have to develop a simple ETL package that reads data from a csv file and writes them to an xls file; the problem is that when the number of rows exceeds the maximum number of rows allowed for an xls file i get an error.
There is a way to solve this problem? for example adding a new sheet or creating a new file?
Thanks in advance

HI,
I'm trying to get data from AS400. using OLEDB source as my connection. i'm using IBM OLEDB provider for iSeries. and working on standard edition of SQL Server 2005.
While using OLEDB source task when i set my access mode to 'table or view' and try to see list of available libraryname.tablenames, i do not get and tables
where as when i use Data access mode as 'SQL Command' i can get data (can only see preview of data) from AS400 but not able to insert that into my destination table. At run time task Fails with the error mentioned below.
I have configured Data links tab inside the OLEDB connection manager also, but when tried to set a default library it gives me error. : "Error code :CWBZZ5042" - ( catalog is invalid ) but it does exist.
Is there some settings that needs to be done from AS400 side or SQL Server side to view the available libray and its tables ?
Can some one help me on the same.

Hi,
Does anyone know the method to transfer result data of a view or stored procedure
in MS SQL 7.0 to MS Access or Excel , Manually or automatically? I did not find the
right tool in SQL 7 to do so.
I notice we can transfer table from SQL 7 to MS Access / Excel through DTS. But did not
find any tool/menu to transfer result of view / stored procedure.
I am new to SQL 7. Maybe this is a silly ?. Any help will be appreciated.

I was able to create a view and convert it to excel. Now I want to it to schedule it for everyday and then email the excel file as an attachment to couple of people.
Would SSRS be an option? where I can create a report of the view and schedule it?
Does any know the process I need to follow?
Do I have to uses SSIS ? and then set it up as SQl server job?

Hello all,
I'm new to SSIS and have a question about the best way to generate multiple Excel files with my current package design. I have a stored procedure that I run from an Execute SQL Task in a foreach loop container, and it generates results as appropriate for each of the parameters it loops through.
What's the best way to take the result set from each of those executions and generate an Excel file from each set? How do I map that result set variable to be the input for creating a new Excel file? Is this best done as a script task somehow?
Should I not be using SSIS for this task? I thought I would just create a package and schedule it to run daily with SQL Agent, and it would autogenerate the Excel files as needed.
Thanks for your advice!
All,
I have a package that loops over ~60 Excel files in a directory. Each
file has three named ranges in it, which I import into different
tables. Sometimes the package runs without a hitch, sometimes it
chokes. But it is intermittent.
If I pull the control flow components out of the foreach loop and
point the Excel connection manager to the specific Excel file that has
caused the package to choke, I get a message in the dataflow component
pointing to the named range that "the metadata of the following output
columns does not match the metadata of the external columns......Do
you want to replace the metadata of the output columns with the
metadata of the external columns?" When I choose 'yes', then the
file will be loaded. then I can put the control flow components back
into the foreach loop and the file will run again, successfully, along
with some more, until it chokes again....
So, first of all, does anyone have any insight into this? Sometimes,
somedays, these files will load with no problems. These exact files;
I am having to reload constantly... Other times, like today, it is a
battle.
Otherwise, is there a way to get Integration Svcs to handle the
metadata issue on the fly???
Any ideas, resources, references, war stories, or good clean jokes
would be appreciated,
Kathryn
Hi all,
I have created a package which import data from excel file and do some technical & business validation on the data. My package has about 20 control flow items. Now I'm asked to handle a second (and probably more in the future) excel file format (columns name are different, some fields are murged in one single column...).
I definitely don't want to create a different package for each excel file format. But I can't find a way in the control flow to execute a particular DataFlow in one case and another DataFlow in other cases. Typically I would like to evaluate an expression an depending on the result execute a DataFlow or another one. Even in a given DataFlow I cant find a way to have a condition and process different Excel Source depending on an expression result. Or it would be good if I could say to my Excel Source to discover the columns name and types at runtime and let me manage the columns manually in the data flow. Is that possible ? I know SSIS manage metadata on the columns based on the data source is there any way to manage the metadata manually ? I coulnd't find anything about that in BOL.
I guess an easy workaround is to have a different package just to import the different excel files in a common staging table and each package calls a single package which contains all technical & business validation.
Any help will be appreciated.
Kind regards,
Sébastien.
Hello,
I need to create about 1,000 (literately) Excel files that each contain 5 tabs. The data being placed on the tabs will always be the same (meaning the columns are static).
I am fairly advanced at Excel VBA so I can write code that does all the following in Excel (looped 1,000 times):
Open an Excel template
Bring data in from the tables
Filter, then copy-paste the appropriate rows into each tab.
Save the new Excel file.
Email the file to appropriate individual (it is a Microsoft Exchange Server).
As I started this in VBA, I thought that I might be able to do it with SSIS. My concern is I need to have the rows formatted (font, border, etc.) and the number of rows change.
My questions are:
Is it possible to format Excel with SSIS?
Can I email the files even if it is not with an SMTP protocol?
Would SSIS process this data faster then Excel?
Does this approach even make sense? Am I better just doing it with VBA?
Thank you for the help.
