Is there a way to update a specific cell(s) in an excel? I have an excel with charts and graphs which use as data source a range of cells from another sheet within the same spreadsheet. Is there a way update a specific cell from within the sql using openrowset()... ?
thanks
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 there !
Thanks for taking the time to read this thread.
I don't know whether anyone has this problem, but I am definitely not using the right keywords to search for a thread.
My situation is this...
I have a dataset that has values to fill cells to multiple tables in a report.
However, I only want to select specific data from the dataset to fill textboxes and others.
I cannot change the stored procedure, but the sample of the data is shown below:-
Row Stat Val
0 dtRpt1 02/01/2005
1 Value1 1
2 Value2 2000
3 dtMailSent 02/28/2005
4 Value3 0
5 Value4 5
6 Value5 658
I know it looks weird, but the row really represents which "row" or textbox is it to fill with the Val. The Stat Column is just a way to make sure that I am filling the right values.
so my new report would have multiple tables to denote different categories.
In my first table, I tried putting the cells as follows:-
(expressions are highlighted in italics and bold)
TextBox1 =IIF(Fields!Row.Value =0, Fields!Val.Value,"")
Table1
Column1
DetailRow1 =IIF(Fields!Row.Value =1, Fields!Val.Value,"")
DetailRow2 =IIF(Fields!Row.Value =2, Fields!Val.Value,"")
Table2
Column1
DetailRow1 =IIF(Fields!Row.Value =3, Fields!Val.Value,"")
DetailRow2 =IIF(Fields!Row.Value =4, Fields!Val.Value,"")
DetailRow3 =IIF(Fields!Row.Value =5, Fields!Val.Value,"")
DetailRow4 =IIF(Fields!Row.Value =6, Fields!Val.Value,"")
I only expect this report to print out one page holding the previous values.
However, it ended up printing like this
----------------------------------------------------------
Table1
Column1
DetailRow1 1
DetailRow2
Column1
DetailRow1
DetailRow2 2000
Table2
Column1
DetailRow1 02/28/2005
DetailRow2
DetailRow3
DetailRow4
Table2
Column1
DetailRow1
DetailRow2 0
DetailRow3
DetailRow4
Table2
Column1
DetailRow1
DetailRow2
DetailRow3 5
DetailRow4
Table2
Column1
DetailRow1
DetailRow2
DetailRow3
DetailRow4 658
------------------------------------------------------
I tried putting it into the headerrows instead of DetailRows, and it ended up printing the last value.
Is there anyway to do this ? print all the values out in one table ? I tried using textboxes, but I think I got my expression wrong.
Is this the correct expression ?
=IIF((Fields!Row.Value,"Dataset") =1, (Fields!Val.value, "Dataset"), "")
and it give me an error
The value expression for the textbox €˜textbox5€™ contains an error: [BC30455] Argument not specified for parameter 'FalsePart' of 'Public Function IIf(Expression As Boolean, TruePart As Object, FalsePart As Object) As Object'.
Appreciate any advice or suggestion for this scenario !
Thanks!

Anyone know why cells within a matrix that are formatted as numeric export to Excel with a cell format proprty of "General"? Cells within a table however export with an appropriate format.

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.
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?
thanks
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
Hi,
I have an Excel 2007 file which contains values in specific cells like A23, D30 etc.
I want to populate the values in these cells using SSIS packages into individual rows of an SQL table.
How can this be achieved ?
Cheers

I have a task where the source data is coming in via Excel. There is a field that contains a percentage (i.e. 100%, 90%, etc). When the connection is added to the data flow stream and is read, that column is coming in as a double precision float. The 100% is coing in as 1. I have tried going to the advanced editor and changing the column to a WSTR, but it is not having any effect. Short of having the sender change the file to a .csv (which will induce other problems I'll have to code out), how can I force the column format in an Excel connection?

How to populate an excel cell from a sql table using ssis.
I need to populate a specified cell lets say H7, in an excel sheet,
from a sql table in a ssis package.
Suppose we have a column in sql table called total, which contains some value,
we need to take this value and populate the cell H7 in an excel sheet.
Hi,
I have created an ssis package, am using Script task to read all the cell values and comments.
In server MS Excel is not installed, so we use regsvr32 to register excel.dll ( also tried with Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.dll ), while doing the registration we got error as
"Registration not done, enrty point not found"
Sice the registration is not done we where unable to create the excel object in our script task.
Can anybody give as any clue, all helps are welcome.
Thanks in advance

When I open the spreadsheet in Excel 2000, it works fine. When I try to print, it crashes Excel. In testing, I narrowed it down to the Header/Footer, because it also crashes when I go to Page Setup and click on the header/footer tab.
However, I can print the same spreasheet from Excel 2007.
Am I just dealing with a "you need to upgrade all your clients" situation, or is there a known issue with certian formatting that is passed out with reports that is not supported by older versions of Excel?
I am using Reporting Services 2005 SP2 to serve up the report that is exported to Excel.
Any assistance is appreciated.
Hi All
I've been googling this for a while now and can't seem to find any elegant answers.
I'm looking for an automated way to present a FORMATED Excel Spreadsheet to the Customer from a stored procedure output.
Can anyone advise me the best method of doing this - should I / can I assign an Excel Template to the DTS Task output ?
His mind is set on Excel and the formatting is basic and easy to write in a Macro which I've done, but this requires human interaction to finish the task (Automated Run Once on opening etc).
In an ideal world an individual would send an email to the Server with two formated parameters (@FromDate & @ToDate) and would be emailed back a ready formatted S/Sheet. But I believe he would be willing to just select the relevant SpreadSheet for the Daily / Weekly / Monthly periods dumped.
Thanks

Hi!
What I'd like to do is:
UPDATE table1
SET
A_TEXT_COLUMN = (SELECT another_text_column
FROM table2
WHERE table2_id = @precomputed_id_1)
WHERE table1_ID = @precomputed_id_2
Since the cells are text, this does not work. Since the cell to be updated is in an already exitant row, it's not possible to simply use insert.
I'd like to do something like (PSEUDOcode):
WRITETEXT(table1.A_TEXT_COLUMN, READTEXT(@textptr_initialised_to_point_at_target_c ell))
But the *actual* synatx of WRITETEXT and READTEXT seem totally inappropriate for any such trick...
Any hints or pointers HUGELY appreciated... THANX
Hi,
I'm working with MRS and I've got a table with a lot of entries. For each value in the table I'm trying to get the text colour to be set to 'red' when the value of the cell is less than 0. Otherwise remain black.
I can do this by setting the colour property cell by cell. But I have a lot of cells in the table. Is there a way to set the statement to apply to ALL cells in the table?
Basically I'm asking if there is a way to set the property in bulk instead of going through tediously cell by cell.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Iam trying to crate a job, that writes the result set on text file and export to location like "abcxyz.txt"
job succeeds but i cant see any thing written on the file and i have given the same path in the job path option.
Problem: I need to export data from a table in a database. I have an SSIS that converts data to this table. To export the data using the SSIS the file needs to be already created (from my understanding). This export location is on another server and the folder location is empty.
Question: How do I create an empty CSV file at this location using either a Script Task, SQL Query, or Space Magic? I have been searching all over for about 4 hours now to no avail.
Hi,
I am in a bit of a quandry. I have an Excel spreadsheet source, but I only want certain rows from the spreadsheet, which will be delineated by a header and footer row (Start and End). Here is my script thus far (see below).
My question is, what is the correct way to do this? I guess I am stuck on syntax. i.e.) Do I need to create an OUTPUT BUFFER?
Thanks
==============================
Sample data:
blah
Start
Frank 1234 1234 1234
Sue 2345 2345 2345
End
blah
blah
==============================
Public Overrides Sub Input0_ProcessInputRow(ByVal Row As Input0Buffer)
Static Section As String
'Set sections
If Row.Name = "Start" Then
Section = "Start"
End If
If Row.Name = "End" Then
Section = "End"
End If
If Section = "Start" Then
'GRAB THESE ROWS AND SEND THROUGH THE PIPELINE
'IGNORE ALL OTHER ROWS!
'What syntax goes here?
'Output buffer?
End If
End Sub

I'm trying to export to excel using dts, but using a stored procedure where i have a query using temporary tables (#D,#T,#R) and the result is a table with a variable number of columns (sometimes 3 columns and sometimes 10 columns)

I want to run Stored procedure that is returning recordsets and is using cursors/ temporary tables (MS Sql 2000 Server).
The output of this SP is to be used to prepare an excel Report.
In the Transform Data Task Properties:
EXEC sp_ProductivityReport_ByDay '01/01/2005','02/01/2005'
It shows me the data in the Preview, but asks me to define transformations. Further on the transformations, it does not shows up the source columns (although they were populated in the preview)
When I perform the same task using DTS Export utility, i get the following error:
Error source: MS ole db provider for sql server
Error Desc : Null Accessors are not supported by this provider
context: error calling CreateAccessor. Your provider does not support all the interface/methods required by DTS
Please Help

Hello All
First time setting up A SSIS
Trying to import a excel that creates a new table called lockbox.
Does not import any records from Columns-Contract Id, Owner ID,
that have a null value.
Then in the Site Id -that is a number value- change to a text value
and update it to it text value.
for example: Site Id Column
2 = Ell
3 = CSI
12 = Ell2
Can someone get me started in the right direction?
Thanks for your time and help

I have written a query which dumps the output to a table, ideally I would like to select everything from this table in to an Excel file.
Looking @ http://blog.sqlauthority.com/2008/01/08/sql-server-2005-export-data-from-sql-server-2005-to-microsoft-excel-datasheet/
Made me think this would be quite easy... so
1. I created a spreadsheet named test.xls with the column headings from my temp table
2. Saved and closed this xls
3. Tried to run the following:
USE [PEI];
GO
INSERT INTO OPENROWSET ('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Excel 8.0;Database=C:DELL est.xls;',
'SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]')
SELECT *
FROM tblCFPooled
GO
Where C:DELL est.xls is where I saved test.xls, tblCFPooled is the table I have populated in the firstplace and PEI is the database name.
When I run this the following error crops up:
OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)" returned message "The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find the object 'Sheet1$'. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly.".
Msg 7350, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot get the column information from OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)".
I then found something on a different site:
http://www.mssqltips.com/tip.asp?tip=1202
So based on this I tried:
insert into OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'Excel 8.0;Database=C:DELL est.xls;',
'SELECT * FROM [T$]') select * from tblCFPooled
And obtained the following error:
OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)" returned message "The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find the object 'T$'. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly.".
Msg 7350, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot get the column information from OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)".
(I renamed the sheet1 to T if you are wondering where T$ comes in!)
Before running either of these 'export' queries I did as instructed in the first link:
EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1;
GO
RECONFIGURE;
GO
EXEC sp_configure 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries', 1;
GO
RECONFIGURE;
GO
Which produced results:
Configuration option 'show advanced options' changed from 0 to 1. Run the RECONFIGURE statement to install.
Configuration option 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries' changed from 0 to 1. Run the RECONFIGURE statement to install.
I assumed from that I had successfully enabled Ad Hoc Distributed Queries - Is that correct?
Both methods seem to throw up a similar error, an error which makes me think its some kind of SQL authentication issue.
Has anyone successfully exported from SQL to Excel - if so, any tips?!
(For the record I am using Management Studio, we are running SQL Server 2005, I am doing all this on a Vista Business machine, the SQL server is on a local server on our network here. )
