I am trying to ETL from excel source to SQL table. When I created the package my excel had certain number of rows. Later if I add (append) few more rows in the spreadsheet ... the ssis package (also in excel source preview) not reading the newly added rows. Suprisingly it is reading new rows if they are inserted in between existing rows.
Any idea why ?
Hi,
I have an Excel spreasheet - the first column is text, the second numbers, the third a mix of the two. If I point An Excel Source at this in my data flow, it will import the first two columns without problem, but not the third: all cells containing text are being imported as nulls, but those containing numbers are imported just fine.
Even if the numbers are stored as text, they are converted into numbers at import and genuine text is still discarded. It's treated as if the entire column is numeric if there's just one numeric value in it.
I can get around this by creating a .csv or .txt file from the excel file, but that will add an extra layer of admin to this process and I'm tryuing to make it as seamless as possible
Hi,
When expoting data from excel to sql server table, using SSIS package, after exporting is done, how would i check source rows are equal to destination rows. If not to throw an error message.
How can we handle transactions in SSIS
1. when some error/something happens during export and the # of rows are not exported fully to destination, how to rollback the transaction in SSIS.
Any sort of help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,

Environment:
Running this code on my PC via VS 2005
.Net version 2.0.50727 on the server (shown in IIS)
Code is in ASP.NET 2.0 and is a VB.NET Console application
SSIS 2005
Problem & Info:
I am bringing in an Excel file. I need to first strip out any non-detail rows such as the breaks you see with totals and what not. I should in the end have only detail rows left before I start moving them into my SQL Table. I'm not sure how to first strip this information out in SSIS specfically how down to the right component and how to actually code the component to do this based on my Excel file here: http://www.webfound.net/excelfile.xls
Then, I assume I just use a Flat File Source coponent or something to actually take the columns in the Excel and split into an OLE DB Datasource to shove each column into a corresponding column in my SQL Server Table. I have used a Flat File Source in the past to do so with a comma delimited txt file but never tried with an Excel.
Desired Help:
How to perform
1) stripping out all undesired rows
2) importing each column into sql table
Hi,
I'm reading values from a named range within an Excel spreadsheet using the Excel ODBC driver. If I ask for all columns within a range, using e.g. select * from 'named range', does the driver ensure that the returned rowset has the same column and row ordering as in the spreadsheet? In other words, if a named range on a spreadsheet is the block of cells:
name age
richard 54
jemima 27
I want to make sure that my returned rowset is not going to be:
age name
jemima 27
richard 54
I know that proper databases do not guarantee the order of returned values (unless you specify it) but since Excel is a fixed view of data I was hoping that a returned rowset of values would retain their spreadsheet ordering.
Thanks,

Hi all,
Is it possible to ignore the first x rows of the Excel file in an Excel Data Source component ??
Séb.
The columns in my excel source contain data of different types with the column name being a string and the data in those columns being integers. Is there any way to only extract numeric data , in short I want column names to be omitted. Also the data is distributed unevenly , beggining at various rows in each column.
Thanking in advance :)

3,4 are the rows i have inserted now , you can see by date, likewise i have 100,000 rows(old and new combination) and now the data from excel to TableA can be imported/exported daily , hourly, weekly basis.
Now i want to find out only the rows which are imported to tableA today, or hours back, or yesterday .....
the reason is ,
Step1:get data from excel and import to tableA( this is a manual Step) and i know when the data is inserted with exact date and time.
Step2: get newly inserted rows from TableA and pass them as Parameters in Stored Procedure.( i may run step 2 after 1 hour, or after 1 day or after 1 week ,but i want only rows that are inserted )
I tried with using where Datecreated, but did work.
I would like to perform autodeletion operation from my table using stored procedure....
Here is my table structure:
Emp.id | emp_name | dept | desig | time_out | date | emp_sign |
if the user inserts new employee record that record should delete automatically from original after
30 minutes..I don't want to keep that newly inserted record after
30 minutes...I don't know how to achieve this...
I am trying read certain attribute from a XML Source based on a particular attribute.
My XML source has the following Structure:<Database ID = "1" Source = "ABC" ></Database><Database ID = "2" Source = "ABC" ></Database><Database ID = "3" Source = "DEF" ></Database>.
I would like to fetch the list of IDs filtering upon Source = "ABC". (which should idealy give me 1,2)
I tried using the For Each Nodelist Enumerator By specifying the Enumeration type as Node and IDrect Input for the OuterXpathString as DATABASE[@Source="ABC"].
The for each loop fails giving the following error. Data is invalid. line 1 position 1.
Can anyone help me out with the same. Is there any other way around to obtain the required result?

Hi,
I have a commercial data source 3 party one for me to extract data from , i have been provided the exe and the DLL how i can use this in SSIS as a datasource please let me know.
Thanks,
The problem started off as:
I have a webservice written in VB.NET that simply returns a System.Data.Dataset. I want to use the dataset in SSIS.
So i decided to do this:
Save the returned dataset returned by the WS to an XML file. so it is sitting there, and looks like a fully valid XML file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<DataSet>
<xs:schema id="NewDataSet" xmlns="" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:msdata="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-msdata">
<xs:element name="NewDataSet" msdata:IsDataSet="true" msdata:UseCurrentLocale="true">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:choice minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:element name="Table">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="Name" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" />
<xs:element name="SourceRecord" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" />
<xs:element name="CombinedTitle" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" />
......
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:choice>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
<diffgr:diffgram xmlns:msdata="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-msdata" xmlns:diffgr="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-diffgram-v1">
<NewDataSet>
<Table diffgr:id="Table1" msdata:rowOrder="0">
<Name>Member</Name>
<SourceRecord>99998</SourceRecord>
<CombinedTitle>Mr</CombinedTitle>
<CombinedFirst>Sample</CombinedFirst>
........
</Table>
</NewDataSet>
</diffgr:diffgram>
</DataSet>
I then use the XML source connection to connect to it. It sees all of the columns correctly, but when i run and put a watch on it, or try to output the results to a .csv file, no records come through.
Any ideas on why there aren't any rows comming through?
i'm using SQL2005 with no SP1
I am using an "XML Source Adapter" in an SSIS Package to try and load an XML file into a database table. But having trouble with a date field.
The XSD defines the field as:-
<xs:element minOccurs="1" name="DateTime" type="xs: string" />
The XML looks like this:-
<DateTime>12/31/2007 10:12:14.123</DateTime>
And the database table column is defined:-
[DateTime] [datetime] NOT NULL,
So in the Data Flow I have a "Data Conversion Transformation" converting [DT_WSTR] to [DT_DBTIMESTAMP].
However, when I run the package I get:-
Error: 0xC02020C5 at Load XXX File, Data Conversion 1 [13550]: Data conversion failed while converting column "DateTime" (15100) to column "DateTimeDT" (15422). The conversion returned status value 2 and status text "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".
So what how do I fix it?
I don't mind losing some miliseconds of precision, so I have tried configuring the error output of the Data Conversion for this field to "ignore failure" for "Truncation". But that seems to have no effect.
I'd be happy to change the XSD to:
<xs:element minOccurs="1" name="DateTime" type="xs:dateTime" />
But the "XML Data Flow Source" doesn't seem to support the dateTime data type.
Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks.
I have a simple SSIS package -> It reads a local text file which has 10 rows of data ( id, name, telephone # ) and puts it into a table.
It uses the "SSIS Flat File source" to read and a "SQL Command" to insert into the table. I can see that it reads line by line and puts each line into one row in my table.
Now, my production data is over 5 GiG of mainframe data and it seems their data is arranged in some hierarchical form.. so the position or arrangement of data in that file is important.
I pulled the data using my package and as far as I can see , my SSIS package pulled one line at a time ( from the flat file) and pushed it into my table. For each row, I also created an identity column in my table to be able to identify the positional arrangement of the hierarchical data and then use relational mappings to suit our business needs.
In all of this, my assumption is -
"SSIS reads one line at a time, inserts to my table and goes down to the next line .
It does NOT read a snapshot of rows from the flat file so as to write them into the table using internal ordering methods based on that particular snapshot "
My question is .. is my assumption correct ?

I am trying to get the contents of the Excel Files dynamically and dumping into the SQL Database using SSIS. Through WMI Event Watcher, I could find when one or more Excel files dumped in a particular folder and using ForEach Loop Container I was able to take all the filenames and pass it through Variables. But at the same time in the Data Flow, I have to pass each Sheet of an Excel File to the Excel Source control and export the data to my SQL Database using OLEDB Destination.
For that I need to get the names of each sheets in an Excel File and pass it to the Excel Source Control through variables. But when I give Data Access Mode as "Table name or view name variable" and provide the variable name in that, then it is giving an error message as "A destination table name has not been provided".
And at the same time, Since I was not able to provide an static Filename (as I am passing through Variables), when I tried to map the columns in the OleDB Destination, it is not allowing me to map the columns.
So all these things I should do at Run-time using Variables in SSIS. I don't want to hard-code any filenames or Sheet names. If any one of you have a solution, please share with me.
Thanks & Regards,

Hello,
I have a problem with retreving a excel data through excel source component.
I have source component as Excel Source which will connect to my .xls sheet.
To retrieve the values from the sheet i am using a query as,
"SELECT F14,F3 FROM [Charac Defn & Assgnment$]"
The column F14 is not formatted so that the format of the cell is "General" I have a different type of values in the F14 column such as "PE","PES",15,20,20.00,8888.9999 etc..
While i click on preview button of Excel source it shows only the text values and not the int or decimal values, its returning NULL for those cells. I tried to use convert function, its throwing an error as
TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio
------------------------------
There was an error displaying the preview.
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Undefined function 'Convert' in expression. (Microsoft JET Database Engine)
Is there any other function to change the format of the cell or i need to some thing else
Please help me how to solve this issue.

by doing the above setting also , the column is coming as null from excel source even though there is data in excel.
Hi all,
Whilst reading in records from an excel source via the SQL command method I've stumbled across a problem.
my SQL query takes in all records where the date column is not NULL, this ensures that only populated rows are obtained. If the date is in a format that is incorrect i'd really like the whole data flow to fail. However... What seems to happen is that any rows with a fault in the date column are just missed out and not pulled through the pipeline. I have tried changing the error output from fail component to ignore error and redirect row but nothing seems to catch it.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this may be the case?
Many thanks,
Grant
