Dataflow To Excel - Convert Numbers Stored As Text To Numbers Excel Cell Error
Mar 27, 2007
I'm trying to write data to excel from an ssis component to a excel destination.
Even thought I'm writing numerics, every cell gets this error with a green tag:
Convert numbers stored as text to numbers
Excel Cells were all pre-formated to accounting 2 decimal, and if i manually type the exact data Im sending it formats just fine.
I'm hearing this a common problem -
On another project I was able to find a workaround for the web based version of excel, by writing this to the top of the file:
<style>.text { mso-number-format:@; } </style>
is there anything I can pre-set in excel (cells are already formated) or write to my file so that numerics are seen as numerics and not text.
Maybe some setting in my write drivers - using sql servers excel destination.
So close.. Thanks for any help or information.

i have an excel sheet
in it there is a column that holds values of item numbers
some of these values are preceeded with zeros E.G "00123" (with out the ")
when i view the data in excel i get this little green corner whice states (when pressed) that these values are numbers stoerd as text.
no inside the excel sheet i have no problem with that
but when i try to import the excel sheet into ssis using an excel source task
all these values are imported as nulls!!!
i am lost
i tried converting the format of these cells to numbers but then i loose the leading zeros
what i done temporarly to solve this problem is to accept excel's suggestion and turn these values into numbers
i then import them and convert them to strings in ssis and then ad dthe zeros.
now althouge this works, this isnt realy a solution.
i canot manualy correct each excel file each time i get a new copy
and in the future i will not have the luxuery of having fixed lenght values (so i wont be able to know how many zeroe i"d need to add)
there must be a better way
please help
thanks in advance

I have a report with a column which contains either a string such as "N/A" or a number such as 12. A user exports the report to Excel. In Excel the numbers are formatted as text.
I already tried to set the value as CDbl which returns error for the cells containing a string.
The requirement is to export the column to Excel with the numbers formatted as numbers and the strings such as "N/A' in the same column as string.
Any suggestions?

Hi all,
I'm having an issue with data from an OLE DB source being converted from numeric [DT_R8] to text when I export it to Excel. I had the column in the spreadsheet formatted as Numeric, but when I set it up as the data destination, it is showing in SSIS as [DT_WSTR].
The SSIS job runs OK, it just converts my numeric data to text in the spreadsheet. I'm surprised that the job actually runs, since I have to do explicit data conversions for my OLE DB string data in order to convert it to unicode. From what I have read elsewhere, the decision was made in SSIS not to use implicit data conversion, but to require explicit conversion. Yet this export is converting my numeric data to text.
I would appreciate any information on how to set up the Excel Destination to properly handle numeric information.

I've got a SQL query returning data into MS Excel.
One of the columns returns numbers that I then have a SUMIF formula totalling.
However, when the numbers get to Excel, they are not recognised as numbers so my SUM doesn't work. Even if I format the cells as number, general or currency, the sum doesn't work.
Excel knows that there is something in the cell but doesn't treat it as a number in any way.
Can I include something in the SQL statement so that it forces the results to be a number?

Hi there,
I am trying to import about 3300 lines of data from excel. Some of the columns in excel have negative, positive and even 0 as numbers.
I have matched those columns in the DB and have tried all the different data types that i thought should work, but on import, all negative and 0 numbers get dropped.
I have played with the excel formatting as well, but nothing seems to work.
Anyone encounter this before?
Thanks,

Hi,
I have an excel export with numeric values. When the SSIS package writes into the excel it treats all data types as strings and attaches an apostrophe in the beginning. I tried formatting the excel sheet with the number data type and saving it . It doesnt work.
Other strange thing is that when I go into the advanced editor for the excel destination and look into the properties of the external columns all of them have the data type as Unicode String[DT_WSTR] irrespective of what the data type is from the input.The UI allows me to change it to numeric for numeric columns without any error but the value is not saved at all which is very frustrating. I also tried changing it in the xml file of the package, it some how seems to overwrite it after validation. It would be really nice if it threw an error saying that it cannot be changed.
Anyways there seems to be no way of changing the destination data type if it s an existing file and if I create a new excel sheet there is no way of formatting data. Is there any way out?
Thanks

Anyone know why my xls does not have number formats when exporting from a report with a matrix?
I keep having to do 'paste special multiply by 1' on the whole thing.
Ridiculous!

I am trying to use several tables that have one 10-character text field in
common. Most of the records have a numeric expression, but some tables have leading
0's, and some don't.
I can't cast the field to numbers because there are some records that have
letters also.
What function can I use to get rid of all the 0s at the left of each record?
(Sort of a LTRIM function that gets rid of 0s instead of spaces).
Thanks!

I have a table with a column ID of ContentID. The ID in that column is all NULLs. I need a way to change those nulls to a number. It does not matter what type of number it is as long as they are different. Can someone point me somewhere with a piece of T-SQL that I could use to do that. There are over 24000 rows so cursor change will not be very efficient.
Thanks for any help

HI all;
I have a simple question to ask; I need to create a column with the data from my DOB column (which has the smalldatetime type attached to it). I know how to do that but I am not too sure how to convert the data from that column int normal character for example when I copy it into my newly created column and change the type to varchar I get this jan 16 1979 from this date 1979/01/16. But I actually want the data to look like this 19790116, so in effect I just want to take out the slashes.
Any help would be highly appreciated, thanks all.

I was trying to export a report which contains a number format. When I do that, all the numbers in excel will have a green small tag beside it saying "Convert from Number to Text".
Is there anyway that I can change the format to a number when I export it to excel?

I have an 'ID' column. I'm up to about ID number 40000, but not all are in use, so ID 4354 might not be in any row. I want a list of all numbers which aren't in use. I want to write something like this:
select [numbers from 0 to 40000] where <number> not in (select distinct id from mytable)
but don't know how. Any clues?

Hello,
I'm having problems with a column of numeric string data coming from a tab delimited CSV file. When a number in the column is negative, it is expressed this way; 1,240.52-
The negative symbol occurs at the end of the numeric string. The destination column is in a SQL Server 2005 table. I've tried to change the data type of the table column, and three or four different data types in a data conversion task, but nothing has worked so far to bring the data over.
Any ideas?
Thank you for your help!

I have run into a problem when searching for a Movie title that is a number (like the movie name 21)
This is an access database and the Movie_Name is a text field
The SQL I am using is
Select * from Movie_Data where Movie_Title = ‘” & Movie_Name & “’”
This works perfectly for everything except when the Movie_Name = a number
Is there a way to make this search work with both characters and numbers?

Does Full text search have problems with numbers?
I have a text field in a table that has been full text indexed. Some of the data in some of the fields start with numbers.
For Example
"123p45 the bla bla bla"
When I run a standard SELECT statement on LIKE '%p4%' it returns the above record.
If I run a full text query using CONTAINS(fieldname,'"*p4*"') it returns nothing.
After much head banging I was able to get the CONTAINS to work when I used *123p4*
I figured since there are alpha characters after the p4 the second * works however since there are no preceeding alpha characters before the p4 it fails.
I would like to be able to do a "full text" search for the "p4" and get the record above.
Any feedback would be appreciated..

Hi,Please can you let me know the best solution for creating a primary key which automatically increments by 1 each time a record is added. My current Primary key is of type "Int" which increments by 1 each time, but I would like my primary key to contain "ABC" before the 1. So each time a record is added I would like to see:-ABC000001 ABC000002ABC000003Etc, EtcI am using SQL Server 2000 and creating an ASP.Net application, will I need to write code in a Stored Procedure to do this?Regards,Brett

Hello,
Can someone please tell me why there's ALWAYS a hidden cell in Excel when a report has a more than one page?
for example, a report has 10 page breaks and after exported to Excel it has the first row hidden in each sheet except the first sheet.
Why this happens always? is there any workaround to avoid this?

Hello, I am haing a little trouble with send cell data from an Excel sheet to SQLEXPRESS and I'm sure that it is not that hard. Has anybody else come accross this. I have the code below, but it is not complete as I'm not sure what to do to complete it:
Private Sub cmdSend_Click()
Dim cn As New ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As New ADODB.Recordset
Dim strConn As String
strConn = "PROVIDER=SQLOLEDB;"
strConn = strConn & "DATA SOURCE=(local)SQLEXPRESS;INITIAL CATALOG=test;"
strConn = strConn & " INTEGRATED SECURITY=sspi;"
cn.ConnectionString = strConn
cn.Open
Set rs = New Recordset
With rs
' Assign the Connection object.
.ActiveConnection = cn
' Extract the required records.
.Open "UPDATE tblData Set ID = ID, Name = Name"
' Copy the records into cell A1 on Sheet1.
Sheet1.Range("A2, B2").CopyFromRecordset rs
' Tidy up
.Close
End With
cn.Close
End Sub
I know that it is not correct, but I am trying to convert a recordset query from SQL to Excel to Update Sql from Excel.
The cells from A2 down have an ID and cells from B2 down have a name.
Thanks for your time

Is it possible to include a cell comment when exporting a report to Excel? My first guess was that the Textbox.ToolTip property might do the trick, but no luck.
Example: I am calculating a textbox based on the age of a particular value in days and conditionally formatting it. In the Excel export, I would like to have a cell comment (i.e., "insert comment" from the context menu in Excel) that shows how many days past the age limit the item is when it is formatted.
Thanks much for any help!

Hi,
I am getting an error when I try to insert a number typed in a text box control into a Sql database table column’s type numeric(6,2). For example: If I type 35,22 into the text box, or 35, and then I submit the form to insert the data into database, I get the follow error:
System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.
Line 428: CmdInsert.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@Measure", SqlDbType.decimal, "Measure"))
A piece of the SP inside Sql server:
USE market26
GO
ALTER PROC new_offer
@Offer_id bigint, @Measure numeric(6,2) = null, …
What is wrong? Why it doesn’ t accept the number typed in my text box?
Thank you,
Cesar
