Dynamic Excel Destination Depend On Dataflow Data
Jul 10, 2007
I created a data flow with complaicated SQL. There is "type" field in the output column.
I would like to created excel files for each "type" value
E.g. If there is 3 "type" values (A, B, C), I would like to create 3 excel files to store type A, type B, and type C data respectively.
Since the number of possibe value of "type" field is various, how can I create the xls destination dynamic and move the correct type to the corresponding excel file?
The conditional split has fixed conditions, it is not suitable for by dynamic number of value
For Loop condition is not a good choice because I need to run the complicated SQL for many time.
Thanks.

Hello everybody .
I am building DTS transfer data from
SQL server into Excel file
source query constant ,but destination will be supplied by parameter
At design time I created destination
excel file and saved a copy of it like
C: empl_excel.xls
presently dts work in following order
1. set datasource of destination
from global varaibale(@@X)
2. execute xp_cmdshell to copy
C: empl_execel.xls to file in @@X
3.Run transformation
How to eliminate step 2 ?
If I run step 1 and 3 ,I get error "table does not exist"
How dynamicly create table in excel and map columns for transfer
Thank you

I need to take 5 or 6 select statements to excel. Here are my limitations...
- each of the queries (thankfully) have the same data format
- each of the queries could return more than 65k, so a new worksheet needs to be generated dynamically.
- the names of the excel worksheets need to be custom, but a naming scheme would have to be developed for queries that ran over into multiple worksheets.
What's the smartest way to do this?
I'm having a hard time getting my head around this. I would love any help... I know I'm not breaking any new ground here. I've found pieces of what I'm doing on lots of forums, but never the exact thing. The complexities compound quickly when dealing with dynamic excel worksheets. =)

I have an OLEDB source that i would want to ideally take in Excel with a dynamic file name. Right now, i am exporting the data successfully in a flat file (csv) destination. I checked the integrity and it seems like when i try opening the file with Excel ,one of the columns is not fitting in one cell, instead, its taking two cell space ?
With Excel , i was getting the error message saying "Field Name ABC cannot convert between unicode and non unicode string data types".
Any help is appreciated...
Thanks

I have a daily package that extracts some data and writes it into an excel file. I want to write over the existing data, but the excel destination only appends the next free location in the worksheet. I tried using a SQL task to grab the file, set all the cells = NULL and then run the rest of the package, thinking it would see the null cells as empty and write in them, but somehow it knows where the previous data ended and keeps appending further down in the workbook.
Does anyone know of a workaround so I do not have to delete and re-create the file everytime?
TIA,
Sabrina

I am inserting rows using OLEDBDestination and want to redirect all error rows to EXCEL Destination.
I have used Data Conversion Transformation to Convert all strings to Unicode string fields before sending it to Excel Destination.
But its gives the following error.
[Data Conversion [16]] Error: Data conversion failed while converting column 'A' (53) to column "Copy of A" (95). The conversion returned status value 8 and status text "DBSTATUS_UNAVAILABLE".
[Data Conversion [16]] Error: The "output column "Copy of A" (95)" failed because error code 0xC020908E occurred, and the error row disposition on "output column "Copy of A" (95)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component.
Can someone please tell me what should I do to make it work?
Thanks,

I allowed the SQL Destination Editor to design my table from Output of
a flat text file. Everything was varchar(50), but that was cool,
because I got to see the data in the new staging tables it created. I
went back and tweaked the data types and sizes for various columns to
be more appropriate through the table designer in SQL Server Management
Studio.
After doing so I get an error trying to edit the package, specifically
parts of the destination in the data flow. I get the error "An error
occurred due to no connection. A connection is required when requesting
metadata... blah blah". I pick the TEST CONNECTION in the Connection
Manager, and it works fine.
I am sure this is probably a basic issue of mechanics of use that I
don't yet know because I am completely new to SSIS. Can someone please
provide a hint, perhaps what I did wrong, and also, if you can see it
how to redeem the error. Thanks!

I have a dataflow task that reads a large amount of data from a textfile source. At the same time i load a mainbook which holds totals for each segment. In the end of that dataflow task i check for difference with a conditional split ([amountmainbook] - [amountsource]) > 1 which points to rowcount task that writes to a variable.

Hi there,
I have designed a package that works perfectly well, exporting data to an excel file from an ole db source. The problem is that in the excel destination file, columns of data that originally were numbers, are formatted as text. It would be just annoying if it weren't because I use those figures in a pivot table that operates with them.
Any idea on how to tell Excel that those columns are numbers?
Thx in advance

Hello All,
I am trying to convert an application created using DTS classes to SSIS object model. I have found following code in the application.
For x As Integer = 1 To mTask.Properties.Count
If mTask.Properties.Item(x).Name = "SourceConnectionID" Then
CnID = mTask.Properties.Item(x).Value
Exit For
End If
Next
For x As Integer = 1 To mPkg.DTSPackage.Connections.Count
If mPkg.DTSPackage.Connections.Item(x).ID = CnID Then
Return mPkg.DTSPackage.Connections.Item(x).Name
End If
Next
Return mTask.Properties.Item("SourceObjectName").Value
How can I retrieve or Set "SourceConnectinId", "SourceObjectName" of a data flow task in SSIS
Please help me to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance

I have some data in Excel - sheet1 which would be static.
Now I need to import data from SQL Server (using a query) and Union above static data with this SQL data and later I will have to create PowerPivot table in Sheet2.
Which is suitable option for me to import data from SQL to excel as I see "From SQL Server" option under "Data" and "Power Query" tab as well.
How to merge above SQL data with existing static data?

I have a data flow that consists of
OLE DB source which calls a stored proc that returns a result set
data conversion
Excel destination
I am in design mode in Business Intelligence studio. My excel destination (with an Excel Connection) shows no sheet name though I have an execute SQL task before the data flow to create the excel table called SHEET1. Needless to say, there are no output columns visible to do any mappings. I did go to the ExcelConnection to set the OpenRowset Property to SHEET1 but it seems to have no effect.
I can do the export in SQL Server Management studio and that works fine, but it is basic and does not meet my requirements. I have to customize the package to allow dynamic Excel filenames based on account names and have to split my result set into multiple excel sheets because excel 2003 has a max of 65536 rows per sheet. Also when I use the export wizard, I have the source as a table and eventually the source has to be a stored proc with input parms.
What am I missing or doing wrong? Thanks in advance

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 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

I was using the code in this thread (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1371094&SiteID=1) to create a console application which can build the SSIS package dynamically and run the package.
If the source column and destination column names are of different cases then the application was failing during the mapping. So I modified the for each loop like below. Still this is not a fool proof method, this will work as long as all characters in the column names are upper or lower.
for eg., Source column = empl_id, Destination column = EMPL_ID, in this case the below code will work. if the source column or destination column is Empl_Id, then the below mapping will fail.
Code Block
foreach (IDTSVirtualInputColumn90 vColumn in vInput.VirtualInputColumnCollection)
{
IDTSInputColumn90 vCol = destnDesignTime.SetUsageType(input.ID, vInput, vColumn.LineageID, DTSUsageType.UT_READWRITE);
try
{
destnDesignTime.MapInputColumn(input.ID, vCol.ID, input.ExternalMetadataColumnCollection[vColumn.Name.ToLower()].ID);
}
catch
{
destnDesignTime.MapInputColumn(input.ID, vCol.ID, input.ExternalMetadataColumnCollection[vColumn.Name.ToUpper()].ID);
}
}
So how can I map the columns irrespective of the cases?
Thanks

Pointed to excel connection manager. Under data access mode, I have select table and view. When I try to select name of excel sheet, it says, no tables or views could be loaded. I should be able to see sheetname there so that I can map column. I only have option to create new spreadsheet. I want to use template to load data in excel file. I dont want to create new sheet.

I have a design question that I'd like some input on. I am trying to archive data from an extremely large production database. The tables to be archived changes quite often. It is currently along the lines of 80-100 tables with the possibility (likelihood) to grow from there.
If at all possible, I'd like to avoid writing an individual dataflow transformation for each table. I know that SSIS does not offer the same capabilities to change the metadata at runtime as DTS. I am currently exploring the option of programmatically creating/modifying the packages through the .Net framework. (using this link as a guide: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345167.aspx).
I have concerns about the performance of this approach and was wondering if anyone had any feedback, or has implemented something similar, or has any other ideas on a different way to accomplish the same thing.
Thanks so much for your help,
Jessica

I have a requirment which i have partly accomplished , but could not get through completely
i have a file which comes in a standard format ending with date and seq number ,
suppose , the file name is abc_yyyymmdd_01 , for first copy , if it is copied more then once the sequence number changes to 02 and 03 and keep going on .
then i need to transform those in to new file comma delimited destination file with a name abc_yyyymmdd,txt and others counting file counting record abc_count_yyyymmdd.txt. and move it to a designated folder. and the source file is then moved to archived folder
what i have taken apprach is
script task select source file --------------------> data flow task------------------------------------------> script task to destination file
dataflow task -------------------------> does count and copy in delimited format
what is happening here is i can accomlish a regular source file convert it to delimited destination file --------> and move it to destination folder with script task .
but cannot work the dynamic pick of a source file.
please advise with your comments or solution you have

New to SSIS and dts. Stumbling along on this one, really looking for resources and help.
I have a flat file, i defined through connection manager
and (for now) a fixed destination excel file I defined in connection manager.
My dataflow, is pretty simple, mapping two fields to each other an amount field and a phone field in a flat file source and excel destinatinon.
the amount column is formated as a number in the excel, and a currency in the connection and both input output properies.
A few questions,
1. why do cells on the excel show up with that green wedge on the upper left? appears to be a formating issue.
2. in the flat file, my amount field does not have the decimal, what would be the best way to apply that? it's should be implied.
3.Everytime I test the SSIS package, it keeps appending to the excel (it actually does not even work right on the second run). What's the best way to have it write to a fresh file? have an ssis script task copy the file from an empty template?
4. Id like to remove the last row? what's the best way to do that?
Thanks for any help or information!

Hi Craig/Kamal,
I got your email address from your web cast. I really enjoyed the web cast and found it to be
very informative.
Our company is planning to use SSIS (VS 2005 / SQL Server 2005). I have a quick question
regarding the product. I have looked for the information on the web, but was not able to find
relevant information.
We are getting Source data from two of our client in the form of Excel Sheet. These Excel sheets
Are generated using reporting services. On examining the excel sheet, I found out that the name
Of the columns contain data itself, so the names are not static such as Jan 2007 Sales, Feb 2007 Sales etc etc.
And even the number of columns are not static. It depends upon the range of date selected by the user.
I wanted to know, if there is a way to import Excel sheet using Integration Services by defining the position
Of column, instead of column name and I am not sure if there is a way for me to import excel with dynamic
Number of columns.
Your help in this respect is highly appreciated!
Thanks,
Hi Anthony, I am glad the Web cast was helpful.
Kamal and I have both moved on to other teams in MSFT and I am a little rusty in that area, though in general dynamic numbers of columns in any format is always tricky. I am just assuming its not feasible for you to try and get the source for SSIS a little closer to home, e.g. rather than using Excel output from Reporting Services, use the same/some form of the query/data source that RS is using.
I suggest you post a question on the SSIS forum on MSDN and you should get some good answers.

Hi,
Is there anyway to dynamically change the Sql Server Destination? Let's imagine i want the data to go to a table based on a specific parameter like year for example...
Imagine tables like table1_2005, table1_2006 and i want to dinamically change the SQL Server Destination so it would insert 2005 or 2006 and so on....
I can't seem to find that option... It was really a good idea for microsoft to implement Expressions in such components... Dynamics it's all about it :)
Best Regards,
