Importing Excel Sheet Which Have Dynamic Column Name And Dynamic Number Of Columns

Aug 25, 2007

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.

Integration Services :: Export To Excel Dynamic Number Of Columns

Sep 11, 2015

We have a requirement to produce adhoc Excel reports with a standardized header page with a disclaimer attached. We want to be able to feed in a SQL Statement, or a table with the resultset from a SQL Statement and have SSIS populate an existing blank Excel workbook, which the disclaimer attached. The use of xp_cmdshell is not an option.I've spent a lot of time looking for solutions on the web and it seems though its not possible - although many articles are 3-5 years old. Before I throw in the towel, I just wanted to get feedback from this group if it still is not possible in the latest versions of SQLServer and SSIS, or to ask if there are any other 3rd party solutions that can do this today.

Limitations In Term Of Number Of Tasks And Number Of Columns

Jun 5, 2007

Hi,

I am currently designing a SSIS package to integrate data into a data warehouse fact table. This fact table has about 70 columns among which 17 are foreign keys for dimension tables.

To insert data in that table, I have to make several transformations and lookups. Given the fact that the lookups I have to make are a little complicated, I have about 70 tasks in my Data Flow.
I know it's a lot, but I can't find a way to make it simpler. It seems I really need all these tasks.

Now, the problem is that every new action I try to make on the package takes a lot of time. At design time, everything is very slow. My processor is eavily loaded each time I change a single setting in one of the tasks, and executing the package in debug mode takes for ages. If I take a look at the size of my package file on disk, it's more than 3MB.

Hence my question : Are there any limitations in terms of number of columns or number of tasks that can be processed within a Data Flow ?

If not, then do you have any idea why it's so slow ?

Thanks in advance for any answer.

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Converting Row Values To Columns With Dynamic Columns

Jun 11, 2015

Basically, I'm given a daily schedule on two separate rows for shift 1 and shift 2 for the same employee, I'm trying to align both shifts in one row as shown below in 'My desired results' section.

Sample Data:

;WITH SampleData ([ColumnA], [ColumnB], [ColumnC], [ColumnD]) AS
(
SELECT 5060,'04/30/2015','05:30', '08:30'
UNION ALL SELECT 5060, '04/30/2015','13:30', '15:30'
UNION ALL SELECT 5060,'05/02/2015','05:30', '08:30'
UNION ALL SELECT 5060, '05/02/2015','13:30', '15:30'

[Code] ....

The results from the above are as follows:

columnAcolumnB SampleTitle1 SampleTitle2 SampleTitle3 SampleTitle4
506004/30/201505:30 NULL NULL NULL
506004/30/201513:30 15:30 NULL NULL
506005/02/201505:30 NULL NULL NULL
506005/02/201513:30 15:30 NULL NULL

My desired results with desired headers are as follows:

PERSONSTARTDATE STARTIME1 ENDTIME1 STARTTIME2 ENDTIME2
506004/30/2015 05:30 08:30 13:30 15:30
506005/02/2015 05:30 08:30 13:30 15:30

SELECT Query - Different Columns/Number Of Columns In Condition

Sep 10, 2007

I am working on a Statistical Reporting system where:

Data Repository: SQL Server 2005
Business Logic Tier: Views, User Defined Functions, Stored Procedures
Data Access Tier: Stored Procedures
Presentation Tier: Reporting ServicesThe end user will be able to slice & dice the data for the report by

different organizational hierarchies
different number of layers within a hierarchy
select a organization or select All of the organizations with the organizational hierarchy
combinations of selection criteria, where this selection criteria is independent of each other, and also differeBelow is an example of 2 Organizational Hierarchies:
Hierarchy 1

Country -> Work Group -> Project Team (Project Team within Work Group within Country)
Hierarchy 2

Client -> Contract -> Project (Project within Contract within Client)Based on 2 different Hierarchies from above - here are a couple of use cases:

Country = "USA", Work Group = "Network Infrastructure", Project Team = all teams
Country = "USA", Work Group = all work groups

Client = "Client A", Contract = "2007-2008 Maint", Project = "Accounts Payable Maintenance"
Client = "Client A", Contract = "2007-2008 Maint", Project = all
Client = "Client A", Contract = allI am totally stuck on:

How to implement the data interface (Stored Procs) to the Reports
Implement the business logic to handle the different hierarchies & different number of levelsI did get help earlier in this forum for how to handle a parameter having a specific value or NULL value (to select "all")
(WorkGroup = @argWorkGroup OR @argWorkGrop is NULL)

Any Ideas? Should I be doing this in SQL Statements or should I be looking to use Analysis Services.

Thanks for all your help!

Dynamic Columns For Dynamic SQL

Mar 9, 2007

I have created a dynamic SQL program that returns a range of columns (1 -12) based on the date range the user may select. Each dynamic column is month based, however, the date range may overlap from one year to another. Thus, the beginning month for one selection may be October 2005, while another may have the beginning month of January 2007.

Basically, the dynamic SQL is a derived Pivot table. The problem that I need to resolve is how do I now use this dynamic result set in a Report. Please keep in mind that the name of the columns change based on the date range select.

I have come to understand that a dynamic anything is a moving target!

Please advise.

Dynamic Columns

Mar 18, 2004

Hi all, a quicky.

What is wrong with:

CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.QuotePrice
@DateFrom datetime,
@DateTo datetime
AS
declare @days as int
declare @price as smallint
declare @daycolumn as nvarchar(6)

set @price = 0

set @days = DATEDIFF(day, @DateFrom, @DateTo)

set @daycolumn = 'Day_' + CAST(@days AS nvarchar(2))

set @price = (SELECT @daycolumn FROM pasPriceTable)

return @price
GO

Problem is:
Syntax error converting the nvarchar value 'Day_10' to a column of data type smallint

How do I set a variable to a result from a query?
Thanks,

Are Dynamic Columns Possible ?

Mar 19, 2007

Hi folks

I'm trying to roll out / createcolumns dynamically, based on a parameter selection, which in turn can calculate the number of columns to be inserted.

For example, if my parameter selects the first Option viz. Business Unit, I need to find out how many standard business units exist (un-specified and depending on the client) and have that many standard width columns generated and have each populated with a column header label + appropriate value.

the columns have to be dynamic and the same information is preferred if it is NOT presented in a drill down format (row-wise).

Thanks for any inputs coming in :)

Dynamic Columns Returned

Sep 6, 2006

I need to write a query that will return an unknown number of columns. Here's the problem:

Let's say you've got a database tracking applications to different university study abroad programs. There may be a dozen or more programs, and the application could be used at any number of different schools, each with different programs. So you have a programs table with ProgramName and ProgramID.

Each program could require a different set things submitted during the application process. So you have a Submissions table, with SubmissionItem and SubmissionID to list the names of each required submission, a Program_Submissions table, with ProgramID and SubmissionID to link Programs to required application items, a SubmittedItems table, that accepts documents uploaded by a user to fullfill the submission requirements, and of course a users table.

I'm not very concerned at the moment about the last two tables. What I need to do is create a report (query) where the first column is the program name, and the other columns are determined by the contents of the Submissions table- if Program_Submissions record exists linking a program to a submission, place a value of 'Y' in that cell, otherwise leave it blank. Any thoughts on how to accomplish this?

I need to do this in a single query that a I can dump into a report builder application to save as a template to give to several people that have been asking for it, and to complicate matters even more, the description above is a little simple, as there are couple different kinds of submissions, with a different table for each.

Any help appreciated. I give rep for good answers!

Table1 has a 1 to Many relationship with Table2

Id Like to have the select statement Return the data as follows:

not like this:
Gary A,B,Day,1
Gary A,B,Afternoon,2
Gary A,B,Night,3

Any Ideas?

Pivot On Dynamic Columns

May 11, 2006

I have a table with 40k terms and I need to map these to a set of objects where each object is represented as a column(tinyint). The object/column name is represented as a guid and columns are added/removed dynamically to support new objects for a set of terms.

I can get the rows needed:

guid1guid2guid3guid4guid5
================================
01100
01101

I think I need to then convert this set of rows to a table which I can join to the object runtime table to start these objects if the column has a count/sum greater than 0. This is the table I think I need in order to join on guids to the runtime table:

NAME Count
===========
guid10
guid22
guid32
guid40
guid51

I don't know how to construct this table for the former table. I think it may be a pivot table, but I don't know. I have the column names:

SELECT NAME
FROM SYSCOLUMNS
WHERE ID = OBJECT_ID(#Temp)
ORDER BY COLID

NAME is a sysname, which doesn't seem to cast into a guid, also a problem when joining the runtime table with this #Temp table.

I also don't want to use a cursor to construct a table.

Thanks for any help,
James

Report With Dynamic Columns

Jun 10, 2008

Hi,
I'm trying to create a report with dynamic columns. I mean that the user is able to select if he wants to see a double drill report with client group and product group, or agents with clients, or everything else he needs. I tried to insert some variables in the query that extracts data from report, and using that variables like parameters, but Reporting Services always get the parameter default value and not the correct value i give him.
How can I solve my problem? There is another way to obtain dynamic reports?

Dynamic Columns In .net Reporting.

Oct 18, 2007

Hi all,
I have a problem making columns dynamic in a report. I' m using Microsoft.net reporting. I was using a flag to determine wheather a column should be made visible or hidden using
IIF(instr(Fields!numrows.value="a")>0,True,false) in the column I want to make dynamic. I do this by setting this expression in the visibility property of the column.
I have 7 columns which are to be made dynamic so I used the same condition in all the columns with a different string to compare ("a","b","c" etc) . I got the columns to be visible dynamically but the condition was not working properly so, I shifted from fields to report parameters and used IIF(parameters!fieldsDisplay1.value=true,true,false). I can get this to work. The problem I have now is if user selects col1 ,col3,col 5 among(col1,col2,col3,col4,col5,col6,col7) then the report shows up like this.... col1, ,col3, ,col5. Meaning the alternate columns are empty because I' m hiding the visibility when I use the above expressions. I want the report to show all columns one after the other example col1,col3,col5 so that the report doesn't have any empty columns.
I found a link online http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/uditsingh/CR1111022006055359AM/CR11.aspx which explains the same in crystal reports, Can anyone tell me if this is possible using Microsoft reporting? If yes, how do I accomplish this?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Max. Number Of Columns

May 21, 2007

does anyone know what the maximum number of columns is that an SQL table can contain ?

i seem to remember that in the past it was something like 200 columns max, but i don't know whether that has changed with newer versions of SQL Server

looking at the spec for SQL Server 2000 i see a maximum of 1024 columns per base table - am i right in interpreting this to mean the maximum is now 1024 columns or is a base table different from an SQL table ?

Nov 27, 2007

Hi...
Is it possible to eliminate values from a select statements if they are NULL or Blank..
the reason i have use cast as decimals is because that value is a varchar in my database... and i want to eliminate those values from my Final select statement that dont is blank so that i will have a data set which may be only 1 - 10 long...

Dynamic Union All - Output More Columns

Apr 29, 2014

I am having a bit of trouble writing a query that dynamically outputs what I need.

I have a table that looks like this:

COL1 AAA BBB CCC
CAT 1 3 3
CAT 1 2 2
CAT 1 4 4
DOG 2 3 3
DOG 5 5 5
MICE 1 1 1

I need it to dynamically output based off COL1, the output should look like this. When there are more rows for CAT, it should output more columns. Kind of like merging the columns

COL1 AAA BBB CCC AAA BBB CCC AAA BBB CCC
CAT 1 3 3 1 2 2 1 4 4
DOG 2 3 3 5 5 5 NULL NULL NULL
MICE 1 1 1 NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL

Help With A Pivot Table (dynamic Columns)

Feb 15, 2008

I have the following Pivot Table:

Code Snippet
Declare @tblEquipment Table
(
numEquipmentID INT,
txtManufacturer nvarchar(30),
txtModel nvarchar(30)
)
Declare @tblEquipmentFields Table
(
numFieldNameID INT,
txtFieldName nvarchar(25)
)
Declare @tblEquipmentDetails Table
(
numEquipmentDetailsID INT,
numEquipmentID INT,
numFieldNameID INT,
txtFieldValue nvarchar(30)
)
Insert INTO @tblEquipment Values(23, 'Dell', 'Optiplex 270')
Insert INTO @tblEquipment Values(26, 'Dell', '1705FP')
Insert INTO @tblEquipment Values(42, 'Dell', 'Optiples 745')
Insert INTO @tblEquipmentFields Values(1, 'Monitor Size')
Insert INTO @tblEquipmentFields Values(2, 'Processor Type')
Insert INTO @tblEquipmentDetails Values(1077, 23, 2, 'P4M')
Insert INTO @tblEquipmentDetails Values(1146, 26, 1, '17')
Insert INTO @tblEquipmentDetails Values(1026, 42, 2, 'P4 Dual Core')
Select numEquipmentID As EquipmentID, [Monitor Size], [Processor Type]
From
(Select a.numEquipmentID, txtManufacturer, txtModel, txtFieldName, txtFieldValue
From @tblEquipment a JOIN
@tblEquipmentDetails b ON
a.numEquipmentID = b.numEquipmentID
JOIN @tblEquipmentFields c ON
b.numFieldNameID = c.numFieldNameID
) As SourceTable
Pivot
(
Max(txtFieldValue)
For txtFieldName IN ([Monitor Size], [Processor Type])
) As PivotTable

What I'm wondering is if it's possible to have the columns change dynamically. For example:

If lets say I only want the record with numEquipmentID of 23 to show I only want its corresponding information to show

EquipmentID ProcessorType
23 P4M

Now lets say that I want to bring back an additional record, like 23 and 26 I would like the columns to change to the following

EquipmentID ProcessorType Monitor Size
23 P4M NULL
26 NULL 17

So in essence a column will be added based on the equipmentID. Thanks in advanced.

Stored Procedures / Dynamic Columns

Mar 23, 2006

I want to use parameters within a stored procedure to generate dynamic columns using SUSER_SNAME as the name for the column that I want to dynaically select (e.g. Select @SUSER_SNAME, First, Last, City FROM MyTable). I have been able to successfully use parameters in the WHERE clause within a stored procedure but haven't been able to find a way to use parameters for column names let alone to tie the parameter value back to SUSER_SNAME.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone

Is it possible to search dynamically in table columns without using dynamic SQL (i.e. EXEC or sp_executesql)?

I wanna exec FREETEXT(<column_name>, @searchPhrase) by giving columns' names as paramater to stored proc. Is it possible to avoid using dynamic SQL?

Thanks in advance

Dynamic And Changing Columns Problem

Dec 1, 2007

Hi all,
I am dealing with a quite complicated problem - I have to build a report with dynamic columns based on table rows. Each row in the table representes a column. My real problem is that the columns are changing all the time, so even if I am using C# to build the report dynamically I cannot use SSRS subscription (because the rdl file need to be on reports server and it is not updated). A matrix is not suitible becase some of the columns are static (mayebe in SQL 2008 there will be a solution with the new matrix - table control).
I thought of two solutions to the problem:
1. Build the report dynamically with c# and update it on the server each time a row in the database is changed. Very complicated to manage and can have a lot of problems.
2. Use some kind of formula (mayebe with VB custom function code) to determine the rows dynamically). I am not sure this is even posible. I have to use a table with grouping when each group with a diferrent unknown size columns.

Did someone have a similar propblem? I will love to hear an idias / solusions.

Thanks

Yaniv
