Uploading Excel 2007 Documents: Client Download Problems
Aug 10, 2007
Greetings,
Environment:
Server: SQL Server 2005 with service pack 1 running on Windows Server 2003
Clients: Internet Explorer 7, MS Office 2007
Setup:
Our companies reports are a mixture of Reporting Services Reports and Excel workbooks with pivot tables. We want both the reports and the pivot tables to be accessible from the same web page so users have a single entry point into all of the business intelligence tools. We have the Reporting Services Reports working just fine but there is an slight hiccup with the Excel documents. The Excel files upload just fine, but when clients try and download them they are always presented with the following Yes/No dialog:
"The file you are trying to open 'Resource.aspx' is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?"
Clicking Yes opens the file in excel but it is opened as Resource.aspx instead of the actual excel file.
Clicking No opens the file in excel as the actual excel file.
My questions are:
1. Why does the file upload correctly as an excel file type but download as an aspx?
2. Is there a way to let Reporting Services associate the .xlsx extension with Excel.
3. Is this even a Reporting Services problem? (I believe it is, because we also use SharePoint and excel files uploaded in sharepoint download correctly using IE7).
Any help or insight is appreciated.
Regards,
Jplocster

Excel 2007 Documents Not Displayed in Windows XP Professional sp2
Start Menu's Recent Documents List:
Dear Microsoft Support:
I can't figure out how to get recently used Excel 2007 (new file formats) documents to show up in the Windows XP Professional (sp2) Start Menu's Recent Documents List. I checked the Internet, the knowledgebase, many parts of the MS web site, etc. for an answer but can't find one.
Are Excel 2007 documents supposed to show up in the XP Start Menu's Recent Document List? Is this a bug or do I have to do some sort of configuration to make it do so? If it's a bug, when will a fix be available?
Are these new Excel 2007 files filtered out like EXE files are which will not appear in the Recent Document List?
The Excel 2007 file types are listed in the Registry.
This question is also posted on Experts-Exchange...No solutions yet.
Thanks.
Jim.

Does anyone know how to upload (bulk) data from a client (written in Excel VBA) to a remote SQL2000 database? Of coarse I tried "INSERT INTO" and rst.addnew but I noticed this is much, much slower as downloading from the same remote database.
Thanks.

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.

Can 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.

Hi,
I have found a problem with my SSIS package. The package takes a Excel File using the Excel Source/Excel connection manager objects. There's a Data Conversion Object which sets all the fields to be DT_STR and then I import the data into a Holding table using a OLEDB Destination Object.
My Excel file contains a list of Code/Description pairs. The problem I have is that I can have data such as the following
CODE
A101
A102
A103
12
1.2i
What seems to be happening is that when the data is imported into the holding table and the first rows are Alphanumeric then the fields where there's a code such as 12 get converted to NULL for some reason. If all the codes are the same type (either Alphanumeric or numericit doesn't matter, as long as they are all the same) the import works perfectly well.
I need to be able to import all of these codes without SSIS converting some to NULL. Has anyone come across this problem before? If so, is there something I am doing wrong or a workaround?
Many thanks in advance
Rob

'Excel 12.0 Xml;Database=\serverfolderfile.xlsx;HDR=No;IMEX=1',
'SELECT f1 FROM [Raw Keywords$] WHERE f1 IS NOT NULL')
If anyone knows the correct way to do this please tell me.

When importing an .xlsx file the number of columns stops at 255. Does anybody know how to get all columns imported?
Tried saving the file as text and that allows me to import all the columns but it would be much easier to do this directly from Excel.

Hello Everyone,
Is there any way in RS2005 to export to Excel 2007 format ?
The reason I'm asking is that we have a report that can potentially have more than 256 columns but for now, there is no way of directly importing to excel 2003 (.xls).
Is microsoft going to come out with an improvement to RS2005 or is there already a way to export to Excel 2007 to bypass the 256 column limit?
Regards,
Joseph

Hi Folks,
I have got a quick question, Is it possible to use office 2007 in SSIS, If so what would be the driver?
or Could we use JET 4.0 itself?
Any thoughts and help in this regard would be appreciated.

I'm creating a small test package that copies a value from an Excel 2007 worksheet into a SQL 2005 database (SP2). When I do an Execute Task, I get the following error:
SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER. The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager \loripMandEScorecardsSQLQueryExample.xlsx failed with error code 0xC0202009.
However, if I do a "Preview" in the Editor for this same Excel Source task that fails, the data comes up as I would expect. What am I missing?

Has anybody seen this? Is there a configuration setting or something that needs to be changed?
Working with the development version of SQL 2005 that comes with Visual Studio
Problem: I can't seem to get IS to work with Excel 2007 files. I've tried both BIDS and Import/Export Wizard
I've got the connection set to use ACE
The datasource is: c:BranchList - 20080331.xlsx
the extended properties property is: Excel 12.0;HDR=Yes
Test connection succeeds
Preview succeeds
If I save the Excel file as tab-delimited text, BULK INSERT succeeds
But trying to run the package against Excel I get this error, over & over. I have not yet been able to get SQL2005 to import Excel 2007 data

Hello everyone,
Since I would like to use an Excel 2007 File (*.xlsx) as Data Source, I created an ODBC Connection. It worked fine so far: the connection is established, I get the data as expected in the "Query Designer tab" and I could insert the fields in my report. However, when I want to see the result on the "Preview tab", I get an error saying that the "Report Definition '/myReport' is not valid...".
I don't know what could be wrong in my Report... Am I missing something in the ODBC configuration?
My Connection String is as follows:
Dsn=pl_excel;dbq=C:PublicPL_DataSource.xlsx;defaultdir=C:Public;driverid=1046;fil=excel 12.0;maxbuffersize=2048;pagetimeout=5
I also tried to create an OLE DB connection but I got the same error...
Thanks for your help, I'm waiting for your suggestions...

I am currently developing a report for users who insist on exporting to Excel 2007. When I export to Excel on my PC, the report formatting is fine (I am using Excel 2003), however, font sizing as applied in the report is lost when exported to Excel 2007 (i.e. font size 9 in the report is actually 10 in excel 2007). In Excel 2007, the data which runs onto two lines does not show up correctly - the second line is squashed below the first.
Any ideas on how I could resolve this?

We are using MS Excel 2007 Pivot tables to access en SSAS 2005 Cube. Farly often when we reopen an excel spreadsheet with one or more pivot tables we get an error like this:
Excel found unreadable Content. Do you wish to repair
When we click yes the following log is shown:
Removed Feature: PivotTable report from /xl/pivotCache/pivotCacheDefinition1.xml part (PivotTable cache)
Removed Feature: PivotTable report from /xl/pivotCache/pivotCacheDefinition2.xml part (PivotTable cache)
Removed Feature: PivotTable report from /xl/pivotTables/pivotTable1.xml part (PivotTable view)
Removed Feature: PivotTable report from /xl/pivotTables/pivotTable2.xml part (PivotTable view)
Removed Records: Workbook properties from /xl/workbook.xml part (Workbook)
And all the pivot tables are converted to plain text.
I have read about this in KB 929766 but this do not apply since KPIs are not used.
The KB 943088 is more interesting but after upgrading all user with SP 1 the problem is still there, mostly when we open old excel-files that has been created without SP 1 but opened and saved once with SP 1. After that we are not able to open them at all, either with or without SP 1 installed.
Is there some way to €śsave€? pivot tables from destruction? I can€™t ask the users to rebuild all there spreadsheets that have been created prior SP1. What will happen when there is a new SP for Excel? Rebuild all spreadsheets and pivot tables again?

I re-run server configuration and re-connect to DMAddinDB (remote server, but I am the administrator), but data mining add-in and table analyzer still not showing at my ribbon.
Then I uninstall DMAddin, re-install it, go through configuration again, but still the tabs are not showing up.

Hi,
We have a excel 2007 file with a Pivot Table in it. We would like to use the same as data source (But all the source fields as it comes for Pivot). The key issue is that the data to the pivot is from a connection and points to DB - but there is no access to DB. So the Excel is static to us with a PIVOT in it.
Is there a way to get all the data that is avaialble as a source for pivot.
Ex. The select query has co1,co2....co 11 from xxxxx
whereas the PIVot HAS ONLY cO1, CO2 AS ROW, CO3,CO4 AS COL, CO5 AS VALUE AND CO6,CO7 AS FILTER AND OTHERS MISSED OUT IN PIVOT.
THe SSIS as such provide Excel 2007 access to Access OLE DB driver with Excel 12 setting in advanced tab. But not sure whether we can give the range (or) a way around ot get all the data as available in excel regardless of what is used only in the pivot.
Regards,
kart

Hello all,
I am in the process up testing an upgrade from XP to Vista, and the only thing that I am running into is that my linked servers for Excel that I defined no longer work.
The spreadsheet that I am trying to open is in the 97-2003 format (not the 2007 format), yet I keep getting the same error message "Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "TEST1"
Has anyone successfully created a linked server to an Excel spreadsheet on Vista, and if so, please can you provide some insight into what I am doing wrong.
I tried creating a linked server on an XP box running MS Office 2007, and it worked without any issues.
All comments welcome.
thanks

When I connect to an Excel 2007 workbook using the new Microsoft.ACE.Oledb.12.0 provider in SSIS 2005, I notice that any tables that I've created in the worksheet are not recognized in SSIS.
In the OLE DB data source component (using the "Table or View" data access mode) the any table(s) I've created are nowhere to be found in the drop down list. Similarly, when I constuct a simple SQL query on the workbook, such as "SELECT * From MyTable" it returns the error:
Microsoft Office Access Database Engine
Hresult: 0x80004005
Description: "The Microsoft Access database engine could not find the object 'MyTable'. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly."
I know I have the name right -- I can use structured references to my named table in the worksheet without any problems.
Does the new ACE provider not support Excel 2007 tables? Am I stuck with using "overlapping" cell references to capture data from tables in my worksheet?
