Use SSIS To Export To Excel With Formatting
Mar 4, 2008
I need to populate three worksheets within the same workbook with data from SQL 2005. However, I am not sure how to handle the custom formatting. Even if I use a template, my data does not start at Row 2 for any of the worksheets.
Under SQL 2000 DTS, I used to work directly in an ActiveX script task to instantiate an Excel workbook and loop through the data, placing it in the correct cells, handle formatting, etc. I cannot seem to find any way to do this in SQL 2005 but perhaps I am missing an easier option?
Does anybody have a solution?
Kind regards,
Steve

Hi
In the Exported Excel File the Format of a Field whose value is always 0 should be 0.00. I used the following code in Sql select Stmt:-
Select convert(numeric(26,2), Convert(Varchar(5),0.00)) as [Column Name]. But still in the Excel sheet Value of this column appears as 0. Can any one suggest as to how do i go abt it??
Thanx in advance.

Hi all,
Once again, SSIS is giving me a 'F.U.N.' time (ask for definition of the F.U.N. acronym another time ).
I
have a relatively simple task - create an excel spreadsheet with 3
columns of data - Id, Description and Sales. ID and Description are
text, sales is int.
So my SP aggregates and creates my resultset
in my OLE DB Source in the Data Flow. It proceeds to the Excel
destination, and that all seems fine. My issue is that the data is
being written as text. Looking at the excel destination in Advanced
editor:
the Excel Destination Input, Input columns are formatted as
I expected: DT_WSTR 8 for the ID, DT_WSTR 100 for the Description and
DT_I4 for the Sales.
Excel Destination Input, External columns refuse to fall in line, though. They are all listed as DT_WSTR 255.
The
target excel spreadsheet is being created from a template file. That
template file has header columns. The target column for the Sales has
the entire column formatted to NUMBER (0 decimals). Yet to now avail.
When
I check the spreadsheet, the column has retained the cell formatting,
and I have a 'I' pop-up to inform me that 'someone' has inserted text
data into the number column (even though the data IS number).
Since
the SP spits out INT, it isn't a case of receiving a text value, imho.
While trying to change the external column data type in the advanced
editor, SSIS is quite happy to let me change the value for the Sales
output to DT_I4, apply, and ok. Then, when I open it immedaitely
aftgerwards, it has reverted to the DT_WSTR's! AArrgh. If is can't
handle it, at least tell me when I try and change it. don't let me
change it, and then revert back without telling me! Grumble grumble...
So - anyone know a way around this?

I use SQL server with database in US codepage, Reporting Services in english version but excel with Italian codepage settings.

Anyone have sugestion ??
P.S. I can't change the database and excel codepage settings

I've created a report that has cells in it that I want to be formatted as percentages. I set the format code in the cell properties to "P1" and everything appears to work fine until I export to Excel. Some cells show up with only one digit after the decimal and some show up with two digits after the decimal.
I looked at the formatting in Excel (right click, Format Cells...) and it is set to "[$-1010409]#,##0.0#%". I don't have the first clue what that is "supposed" to do but what it does is this:
If I enter 100.00 in the cell it shows up as 100.0%. Expected
If I enter 100.10 in the cell it shows up as 100.1%. Expected
If I enter 100.15 in the cell it is displayed as 100.15%. Not expected
I have formatted the report to only show one digit after the decimal, but RS exports to Excel with some funky formatting that sometimes shows one digit and sometimes two digits after the decimal. Why wouldn't it simply format the cell as a percent? How can I get it to only show a single digit after the decimal?
This is Excel 2007 but Excel 2003 has the same behavior.
Thanks

Hi,
I have got a report which has a table and a list. I used list, as I wanted to use a subreport and be able to export it to excel. The subreprot takes two parameters from the main report.
When I run the report, it looks ok, but when I export it to excel, the formatting is all messed up, the subreport in the list appears after all the rows of the table.
I have aligned the list very close to the last column of the table.
Looks like this in designer. (List is very close to the last column.
Can some one help me if there is any better way of doing this.
Thank you,
Chai.

Ok. I've been messing around with exporting data to excel using an Excel Destination. I keep having formatting problems specifically with dates, numbers and text (if the text looks like a number). I am exporting to a range.
1) If set the FirstRowHasColumnNames to true, format the appropriate cells in the header, and the range is set to the row of column headers only, the formatting does not apply.
2) If set the FirstRowHasColumnNames to true,include a blank row after the header, format the appropriate cells in the that row and set the range to both rows, the formatting does apply but I get a blank row after the header line.
3) If set the FirstRowHasColumnNames to false, format the appropriate cells in the first row, and set the range to that row, the formatting does not apply.
I cannot use VBA or install excel on the server and manipulate it via VBA.
Is there any way to delete the row via a query using OLEDB? I seem to have read you can blank out a line but not delete a row using this method.
Is there any way to format the columns in SSIS?

Hi All
I have seen several posts on this issue but as yet no answer. So i'm hoping that somewhere out there knows what the issue is.
SSIS package queries database creates MS spreadsheets per customer and then emails each customer their list.
Anyway all works fine apart from the fact that the Excel Destination Editor converts the date from uk to us format. My routine is already using an MS Excel template (correctly formatted) which it copies as part of the package.
Any ideas anyone?

have now spent 3 days on finding a solution for this problem.
I export data from a table with a money data type column to excel. Before I do the export I'm creating the table in excel with a create table statement in "Execute sql task editor" like this:
CREATE TABLE `test` (
`MYmoney` Currency)
in the datapump I use OLDB source (local sql server) and destination OLE DB connection (excel destination).
When I open up the excel spreadsheet the Mymoney column will show dollar sign. The problem is that it should be Swedish kr currency showing. WHen I'm running the old DTS package in "Microsoft sql server dts designer components" in sql 2005 on the same server this result will be in the currency kr as it should be.
When I'm running the SSIS on my local machine the result also get right.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi,
I'm trying to create an SSIS package and exporting to excel using data flow task data conversion. (This is the first time I am writing to you and I am doing so since I have spent a lot of time researching this subject. Your blogs were very helpful. I changed the output folder formats in ADVANCED EDITOR and then changed the excel file data types.) I finally got it to work... somewhat!
My exported excel data contains sevearal formats currency, text and DT-I4. However when it exports,the excel file does not retain the datatypes purely. I then inserted an empty row below column names and changed the data types for the fields. It has worked so far for only currency data types. The text fields are still in general format. There's still the issue of the empty line which best be removed. I also need to e-mail this spreadsheet.
Please help with the datatypes.
Thanks much in advance!

I have a problem, and I'm fairly sure I know what the answer is going to be, but I'll ask it anyhow.
I have a database which I switched over to SQL 2005 last year, and in the process converted all the DTS packages I had to import the data over to SSIS. We have several reports that we generate to Excel files, and I attempted to migrate these over also, but they would never run in production. Worked fine in when I developed the packages, but nothing I did would make them run in production, so I droped back and punted by modifying the DTS packages to point to the new database. Everything works fine that way, but we want to retire the old SQL box.
When I started digging into the problem by running the package from the dev platform on the production box, I got the following error info:
Error: 0xC0202009 at TSC_Outbound_Calls, Connection manager "Excel Connection Manager": An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040154.
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft OLE DB Service Components" Hresult: 0x80040154 Description: "Class not registered".
Error: 0xC00291EC at Create Excel Table, Execute SQL Task: Failed to acquire connection "Excel Connection Manager". Connection may not be configured correctly or you may not have the right permissions on this connection.
Task failed: Create Excel Table
What I have seen about this error is that it cannot find a 64-bit Excel driver, which (I believe) does not exists. So, as the server is already built with Server 2003 64-bit and SQL 2005 64-bit, does anyone have a suggestion to help me get these exports working again, or am I as stuck as I think I am?

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:
SSIS package "Package.dtsx" starting.

This occurs when the number of errors reaches the number specified in MaximumErrorCount. Change the MaximumErrorCount or fix the errors.

I hope someone gots a answer...

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.

Its my first time trying to set up a SSIS job using the import/export wizard to export the results of a query into an excel file.
i am using sql server 2005, windows XP SP2.
In the last step in the excel destination editor, in the connection manager when i am trying to select the excel file to write into i am getting this error.
'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 ' provider is not registered on the local machine.
I have set up the excel connection manager. i have changed the properties of the project to set
the Run64BitRuntime to false.
please let me know if there is anything else i need to do to fix this.

Hi
I've simplified this so I can test it's not me and so it's easier to explain.
I have one table in SQL server called Table1. Five fields called: One, Two, Three, Four, Five. Values of NULL, 2, 3, 4, NULL.
Reporting services, put a table in a report. Two fields. Header of Field1 and Field2.
Value field data for Field1 ="One: " & vbcrlf & "Two: " & vbcrlf & "Three: " & vbcrlf & "Four: " & vbcrlf & "Five: "
Value field data for Field2 =Fields!One.Value & vbcrlf & Fields!Two.Value & vbcrlf & Fields!Three.Value & vbcrlf & Fields!Four.Value & vbcrlf & Fields!Five.Value
Preview the report, all is well, you get this:
Field1 Field2
One:
Two: 2
Three: 3
Four: 4
Five:
Export it to a PDF, all is not well, I get this:
Field1 Field2
One: 2
Two: 3
Three: 4
Four:
Five:
I can make it work by checking the NULL fields and replacing them with a character. But why does it ignore the vbCRLF when exported to a PDF?
Any ideas...

I need to export some Database data into a text file. My Query looks like this:
SELECT Category1, Category2, Category3
FROM dbo.tbl1
WHERE Category1 = 'JP-4'
AND Category2> 4;
This works fine to get the data, however there is some html formatting in the table entries such as
`<p>,</p>,
,</br>` etc.
So ideally I need to remove those when exporting the data to the text file. I've tried to do it with a simple replace query but that didn't work. I've also got an issue with line splits and would need to remove the ( ).
The Data format is something like this:
Category1: JP-4
Category2: 4
Category3:<p>Neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor</p> <p>amet, consectetur, adipisci velit</p>
Category4:<p>Neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor</p>
I got it to work like this with the replace function:
SELECT REPLACE(REPLACE("PHOTOGRAPHS",'<p>',''),'</p>','')
FROM dbo.khia_tbl
WHERE Category1= 'JP-4'
AND Category2> 4;
But the issue is that I've got 15 columns in total and that I need to do it for several different tags for each column so
,
</br>,
as well as "" and different spaces so that would be a lot and I thought there must be a better/more efficient way of doing it...

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.

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?

Hi ,
I am executing my query and writing it to an excel sheet by choosing "query" results to an excel sheet. It does not format them well. I have trimmed my fields too. There are about 10 fields in the database and I need to show them in the excel file all the ten fields adjacent to one another. Is there anyway I can format them other than the programming aspect.
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

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
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.
