When To Copy Template Excel File For Output?
Jul 7, 2006
I'm writing an SSIS package to run a series of select statements and save the results of each to a sheet in an Excel file. An indirect configuration file with these entries is used:
Package.Variables[User::ExcelTemplateFilePath].Properties[Value]
Package.Connections[AcculoanDatabase].Properties[ConnectionString]
Package.Connections[ExcelReportFile].Properties[ExcelFilePath]
At the start of the package this setup will happen.
1) copy ExcelTemplateFilePath to ExcelFilePath
2) Set User::ReportFilePath to ExcelFilePath
Creating a script task to do this is not a problem. However the task fails on validation of the tasks that write the select results to the Excel file sheets. I'm thinking the validation fails because the Excel file is not copied before the validation is done.
How can I arrange for the setup script to run and copy the Excel file before validation?
Is there is a better way or am I just doing this wrong?
Thanks

insert into OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Excel 8.0;Database=D: esting.xls;', 'SELECT * FROM [SheetName$]') select * from pubs.dbo.authors
I am using similiar query to above to create a excel file, however for this to work, I need to create a template file which has the same columns as the authors table. Is there a way to NOT to define template columns , as I some times will not know which columns will be available... as teh query is dynamic....

I am creating an SSIS package witha a Dataflow task, which reads from an Excel source and then uses script component to dumpt the data to multiple tables in Sql Server database
I need to some how make my Excel source dynamic, that is my excel template which i would be using to map the excel columns to script component's input columns would be dynamic..

OK, another problem but the same member, i am feeling REALLY thick now!
I have a job set up that extracts data from a table and puts to an Excel sheet, this is then emailed to certain recipients.
why is the data appending in the Excel file rather than overwriting? How can i prevent this?

Has anyone had experience formatting an excel file (i.e. run a macro) after it is (created &) outputted from a DTS package?
Also an easier question:
What is the best (easiest) way to create a unique filename in Excel with a datetimestamp in the file name (i.e. MyFile-20040608.xls)
Thanks!

I would like to create a SQL job that runs a basic query monthly and saves the results as a .xls file and emails the results to a user. I've been unsuccessful with sp_send_dbmail in that the output file is always a single column. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Dave

I'm a newbie to SQL. I'm using SQL Server 2012 on my local machine and I need to find a way to output my queries as Excel files. I came across these codes for Interactive SQL (what is intercative SQL by the way?) but they don't work in the SQL query window:
SELECT * FROM SalesOrders;
OUTPUT USING 'Driver=Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls);
DBQ=c: estsales.xls;
READONLY=0' INTO "newSalesData";
It seems the "OUTPUT" command is not a valid command. I really liked that piece of code (may be because it is so simple and carries over very few lines)! Do we have something similar for SQL Server 2012 that can do the job?

I need to create a query (SQL 2000) that renders a formatted excel (xml or xls) file for each row that is outputted.
The details, I have a Campaign table that contains information for Auto and Life "Leads" and the data is submitted by telemarketers directly into the database. I need to render a file for each line, and it would be good if It were an Excel XML or XLS file, because that's what we've been using for a while.

I have set up an export package in SSIS and I would like to assign a file name based on the value in a table on my SQLServer. For example, my file name might be Monthly Reporting Package 20070731.xls where 20070731 is a value in my date table. I can retrieve my date by the following select statement: "SELECT Date FROM DecodeTables.dbo.Date". Can I set up a variable to look up this value and then concatenate it into my file name?

I am copying data from database to an excel file through SSIS. database is MS SQL 2005 and BIDS is also 2005.However, the job doing this task fails every time.As per investigation, the result of the query is more than 100,000 rows and we know that excel has a limit of 65000 rows of data.Is there a way of setting the limit up? or something? a better approach maybe so that everything will be copied to the excel file successfully.
The PrimeOutput method on component "Source - Query" (1) returned error code 0xC02020C4. The component returned a failure code when the pipeline engine called PrimeOutput().

I'm stuck on this one. I've got this package working for dynamic output based on an XML statement (yea!!!). It's actually a really simple package that has a few execute sql tasks and an xml task. I pass in a sql statement and get out raw xml that I use in the xml task and I use an XSL file to combine the xml into an excel document. My next obstacle is how to handle multiple worksheets in the same spreadsheet. Given the following code, xsl and xml, what changes would I need to make excel recognize that there is more than one worksheet?

Exporting a report to Excel has a lot of issues with appearance. As a result, I created an Excel template that I would like to use when the user selects to export the report to Excel, using the reportViewer toolbar. I haven't found any documentation thus far on how to accomplish this. Does anyone know whether this is possible with SSRS and if so can you please provide information as to how it is accomplished. I have created a similar post where my application code can be reviewed: http://forums.asp.net/t/1183977.aspx
Any help is appreciated.

I am exporting the data from database to an excel template that will have 100+ columns and approx 4000 rows of data. Then the business user will make changes to some columns without modifying primary key columns and will send back to us where we will update the same to database.
In order to this am using an excel template by protecting the primary key columns with a password protection.
At template level am fine and whenever am trying to modify any primary key column it's not allowing and am totally good there. But when I use that excel template as a destination to load data from SSIS, all the protected columns are no longer protected and i could able to make changes.

I have the Excel Connection Manager and Source to read the contents from an Excel file. For some reason couple of numeric fields from the Excel worksheet are brought over as nulls even though they have a value of 300 and 150. I am not sure why this is happening. I looked into the format of the fields and they are set to General in Excel, I tried setting them to numeric and that did not help.
All the other content from the excel file is coming thru except for the 2 numeric fields.
I tried to bring the contents from the excel source to a text file in csv format and for some reason the 2 numeric fields came out as blank.
Any inputs on getting this addressed will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Manisha

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

Hi,
I am using a sql command to produce outputs having 3 columns
Before running the sql I am spooling the output in .xls format
But when I open the .xls file (i.e. the spooled file) data of all the 3 columns appear in a single column with blank spaces between them
Is there a way by which I can ensure that each output column of the SQL appears in a seperate column in the excel Sheet
Thanks

Hey,
I'm looking for a good way to rewrite my T-SQL code with 'bcp' to SSIS package, any help would be greatly appreciated?
I have table1 contain account numbers and output-filename for each account,
I need to join table2 and table3 to get data for each account in table1, and then export as a txt file.
Here is my code using bcp (bulk copy)
DECLARE @RowCnt int,
@TotalRows int,
@AccountNumber char(11),
@sql varchar(8000),
@date char(10),
@ArchPath varchar(500)
SET @RowCnt = 1
SET @date = CONVERT(CHAR(10),GETDATE(),110)
SET @ArchPath = '\D$EDATAWorkFoldersSendSendData'
SELECT @TotalRows = count(*) FROM table1
--select @ArchPath
WHILE (@RowCnt <= @TotalRows)
BEGIN
SELECT @AccountNumber = AccountNumber, @output_filename FROM table1 WHERE Identity_Number = @RowCnt
--PRINT @AccountNumber --test
SELECT @sql = N'bcp "SELECT h.HeaderText, d.RECORD FROM table2 d INNER JOIN table3 h ON d.HeaderID = h.HeaderID WHERE d.ccountNumber = '''
+ @AccountNumber+'''" queryout "'+@ArchPath+ @output_filename + '.txt" -T -c'
--PRINT @sql
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell @sql

I have this script which outputs a combination of financial data. I have recently joined a table that includes a narrative and when I run the query, it runs perfectly. However, when I copy and paste the output into Excel, not all the data is showing. After the process of elimination, it is because Excel doesn't like the narrative column and not all data is copied across which is very annoying. If I remove the narrative column, then all the data copies over correctly.
I am using Excel 2010 which is quite up-to-date.

SELECT F1,F2,F3,F4,F5,F6,F7 FROM [Fut Days$A20:G1480]
The query works fine, the preview returns the rows, but SSIS will not generate output Columns nor will it let me manually add them? Am I missing something?

Hi
This should be incredibly simple and easy, but I can't find any examples of how to do this.
I just want to make a File System Task move a file, and have the destination be filename + date and time. For example \serversharefilename02072007.txt
What syntax do I use in a variable to make this work?

Historically I've always written a VB script to copy a file from a sharepoint library. I don't like this method because I have to input a username & password in the script and maintain a config file.
Yesterday I was playing around with using a file system task. The sharepoint file has a UNC path so why not? I created a simple test package with a single file system task that copies the sharepoint file (addressed via UNC) to another network location. Package runs fine locally.
I try running on our utility server but am getting a "The file name [SHAREPOINT UNC PATH] specified in the connection was not valid" error. Package is running with a proxy on the server and the proxy account has the same permissions to the sharepoint site (so far as I can tell) as me.
