I have a DTS that exports a view to an excel file, is it possible to append data to an excel file, it seems if it sees that the sheet is available it creates a new sheet,
I have a logo in my excel file and I want to append the rows below it.
Hello,
I was wondering if there was a way for me to append data to a flat file. The reason why i ask this is because i need to create a header for the report that i am exporting.
The way i imagined this working would to be create a dts that would export the header information to a flat file and the create another dts to export the report data and appensd it to the same file that the header dts created. This might not be the correct approach so i was hoping i could get some guidance of how i can accomplish this.
I am using SQL Server 2000.
Thank you!

Hello guys,
here is my issue.
I created a ssis package which exports the data from oledb source to flat file (csv format). For this i have OLEDB source and Flat File as destination. I generate the file and filename dynamically with the column names in the first row. So if the dynamically generated file name already exists , then i want to append the data in the same existing file. But I dont want to append the column names again. I just want to append the rows to the existing rows.
so lets say first time i generate a file called File1_3132008.csv.
Col1, Col2
1,2
3,4
After some days if my ssis package generates the same file name i.e. File1_3132008.csv, this time i just want to append the rows to the existing file. So the file should look like this-
Col1, Col21,23,45,67,8
But instead my file looks like this if i set Overwrite propery to false
Col1,Col2
1,2
3,4
Col1,Col2
5,6
7,8
Can anyone help me to get the file as shown in the highlighed
Any help would be appreciated .
Thanks
I am using a Excel Source to get the data from an excel file to sql server 2005 table. A couple columns are coming in a double precision float, but some values have characters in them, but those values are coming out as null, even though I changed the datatype from float to unicode string. Any inputs on resolving this will be much appreciated.

Hi everyone. I have a problem with an append query runing from a small Access database and would very much appreciate some input.
The append query from Access is as follows:
INSERT INTO TransferTable ( Name, Surname, Company, Address1, Address2, [Town/City], County, PostCode, Phone, Fax, Email, [Client type] )
SELECT [Clients].[Name], [Clients].[Surname], [Clients].[Company], [Clients].[Address 1], [Clients].[Address 2], [Clients].[Town/City], [Clients].[County], [Clients].[Post Code], [Clients].[PhoneNumber], [Clients].[FaxNumber], [Clients].[Email Address], [Clients].[ClientType]
FROM Clients
WHERE [Name]=[Forms]![Client Form]!Name;
This works up to a point. What it does is send the selected data to the TransferTable which is a link table to a sheet in an Excel workbook.
So far so good.
Each time the query is run though, it inserts the selectd data on the line below the previous run, even if the information that was inserted last time was not saved. So on the first run the query will drop the desired information into row A2 of the TransferTable, then even if that is deleted and the changes to the workbook are not saved, the next time the query is run it goes down to row A3, then A4 and so on. no doubt this is the exact point of an append query, but it's really aggravating me.
What I'd like is a query that will get the data into the same row of the TransferTable each time it is run, since another sheet in the Excel workbook runs some calculations based on the data held in the cells of the TransferTable sheet.
I've tried the SQL editor in Excel, but my very limited knowledge has left me completely frustrated. Does anyone have any ideas how I can achieve this outcome before I go completely nuts ?
I don't mind if the query runs from Excel or Access.
Thanks in advance to anyone who offers any input.
hi all;
1. Excel file Source--> monthly Revenue details
2. Derived Colum Transoformations
3. Oledb Destination
its my flow in one of my packates (ETL job)
Excel file contains monthly revenue details, i wanna import the excel data to my database staging table, so i've created the package.
its working fine...
Problem
if we change the new data for the next month and running the package its not running;
the same file, same format, only we delete the contents, of the file except first row of the excel sheet,
and pasting the new data;
new data is coming from Oracle DataBase in the form of excel sheet ( manually they will copy the data and sending to us)
i open that package in design mode and while double clicking the excel file source it says <column name>'s Meta Data needs to be synchronized
Do you want to Fix this issue automatically with the available external column's meta data
Clearly noted that its a data type issue; i have changed the corresponding data types as it is in the previous Excel sheet which is equivalant to the Table its copying to.
now the package is running with validation warnings, External Column "Invoice Amount" needs to be updated...etc. some 2 or three warning messages i can able to see in the package Execution wizard,
ok, i'm ready to accept these warnings, and i want my package running from my server;( packages had been deployed in to the Centeralized server; every time if we want to run the package, we have the asp.net webpage, that is executing the package in an On_click event)
The package is not running from the server, its due to the meta data change in the Excel file( i guess)
please suggest me some guide lines to resolve this meta data issue, i want my excel sheet meta data should not change when we have new updates in it;
otherwise suggest me some solutions that i can validate the excel sheet before running the package and testing whether the data is in correct format or not? its a kind of Data Profiling activity;
i know its some what crazy, but i need to maintain the system with permanent solution, instead of facing this meta data mismatch issue!!!
some what lenthy explanation--> its needed for my dear powerful microsoft responders. i think i 've explained my problem clearly, if i don't let me know your queries, i'll try my level best.
The Sql Server database can only see the local drive.
I would like to set up a batch file that will copy a SQL Server
backup file from the local drive to the network drive. I would
like to append the file date to the end of the copied file. I
assume a batch file can accomplish this but I am new to batch
file writing. Does anyone have code that they already created
for this sort of task??
Thank you!

I'm importing a multi tab spreadsheet using Import wizard, which I understand to use the same internals as SSIS. The total number of columns in the spread sheet will be over 500. The import wizard defaults everything to varchar 255. I understand there is an XML file I can manipulate to change this and they are located
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server100DTSMappingFiles
Assuming one of these will control Excel defaults, which one is it? None of the names lend themselves to the Excel as a source. SqlClientToMSSql10?
Is there an easy way to append the current date to a file when using a flat file destination?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI 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.

Hi all,
I am trying to export data from an excel file to SQL Server database for reporting. Unfortunately I get the following errors.
[OLE DB Destination [54]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21. An OLE DB record is available.

Could some one bail me out of this bug.

I am running a SQL job that append the result set every 15 minutes on a same text file.
But it also brings lot of information on the text file like JOb lOg info and time stamps.
I only need to see the pure data i am querying how to fix it.
I run two different types of backups on the same database.
A monthly full and nightly diffs appending to the same full file - file 'A'
A weekly full with 10 min trans log backups appending to same file - file 'B'- during working hours.
2 strategies, 2 backup files.
These are new strats that have gone live this week - tuesday in fact. The monthly and weekly both ran fine on tuesday as did the nightly diff and all the TS backups througout the day. last night - Weds - the nightly diff failed with the following error:
"
Executed as user: <USERNAME>. Cannot perform a differential backup for database "objectstore", because a current database backup does not exist. Perform a full database backup by reissuing BACKUP DATABASE, omitting the WITH DIFFERENTIAL option. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3035) BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3013). The step failed.
"
Whilst the error is perfectly legible I dont understand what its implying - cant I add multiple Diff backups to the same full backup OR is my weekly / 10 mins on the same database (but to a diff backup file) ballsing things up for me somehow? If this is the case how come everything ran fine on tuesday night?
Any help gets beers.
THanks

When exporting a report to another format, say excel,PDF; the file name is always set to the report name. Our client has a requirement where whenever a user exports a report to pdf, the timestamp of when the data of the report was made should be appended in the filename. Is there a way to do this in Reporting Services ?

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhat I would LIKE to do is noted in the subject line. What I'm findingis that "edit SQL" appears to only be an option if I am creating atable. If I select "append to" the option to edit SQL shades itself asunavailable.The reason I'd like this is that there is a datum in the flat file thatindicates whether that record should be appended to that table notedabove. There are other ways of dealing with this "problem" but it wouldbe nice to be able to control it using SQL, in the DTS import/exportwizard.If the source of my data is an SQL table, I can generate an SQL queryto specify what fields to import in an append, to check for existingvalues, etc...Is there a way around this? I can reserve a table for data transfers,regularly overwrite it with new data from text file inputs, and use SQLto insert select fields from that transfer table to other databasetables. (From this "transfer" table, data needs to be inserted intofour separate tables in our database).I hope this is clear. If it CAN'T be done this way, it's okay...just alittle ugly with the need to re-create the transfer table.

How to extract data from 3 excel sheets (same excel doc having multiple sheets with different # of columns & rows) using SSIS 2008. The end result will be 6 tables loaded in the database.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello,
I am new to this sql server reporting server technology. I have a requirement like the table header should repeat in all pages of the exported excel's print preview. So I have created the header columns with fixed lenths as same as table's header in the page header of the report. Then only the Header will repeat in all pages of the print preview.
But the problem is when doing like this, many of the columns have been merged together. The report layout is ok. But cant sort the data. It says a message "This operation requires the merged cells to be identically sized."
In some forms i have found the header control's edges need to be sized identically with the tables' columns edges. I did it. But still the columns are merged when exporting.
Please help me out from this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi!
This is what i'm doing:
IF EXISTS (SELECT srvname FROM master.dbo.sysservers srv WHERE srv.srvid !=
0 AND srv.srvname = N'ExcelSource')
EXEC master.dbo.sp_dropserver @server=N'ExcelSource', @droplogins='droplogins';
-
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver
@server = 'ExcelSource',
@srvproduct = 'Excel',
@provider = 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
@datasrc = @Chemin,
@provstr = 'Excel 8.0';
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedsrvlogin
@rmtsrvname = 'ExcelSource',
@useself = false,
@locallogin = NULL,
@rmtuser ='ADMIN',
@rmtpassword = NULL;
set @NomServ = 'ExcelSource';
This create a linkedServer to read my ExcelFile.
Then i'm doing this:
EXEC ('Insert into Elements (No_element, Nom_elem, Desc_elem, Code_grpe_classe, Tps_elem, Code_sgrpe, Code_produit)
Select No_element, Nom_elem, Desc_elem, Code_grpe_classe, Tps_elem, Code_sgrpe, Code_produit
from ' + @NomServ + '...[Elements$];')
This is where i got an error. The error is:
The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "ExcelSource" does not contain the table "Elements$". The table either does not exist or the current user does not have permissions on that table.
I can't figure out what i'm missing. I've add permissions for EVERYONE on the file and on the folder just to be sure and i still have the same error. How can i check if the table [Elements$] exist ?
I am curious what the "best practice" is for exporting data programmaticly from SQL Server to Excel. Is it best to do it straight from SQL Server, or should I do it with in my C# code? My program is going to pull the data, put in the excel file, then email the file. So I could write an SP that gets the data and puts it in the file, then have the C# code run the SP and email the file; Or I could have the code do everything, pull the data, export it & email it.
If it is considered better to have the SP do it, why and what is the best way? ROWSET functions?
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.
