Null Rows In Excel

Nov 17, 2007

Hi,

I have to import data from Excel to SQL Server using SSIS. My fields in sql don't take null values however for some reason i don't understand I see that the SSIS is also trying to import null rows into the database. For example I have the following excel file:
Name Postcode State
XXX 123 ON
YXX 345 IO

The rows following the last line are all blank but when I preview the Excel Source data flow task it returns the empty rows as null and therfore, my package fails as db fields don't accept null values.

How can I prevent SSIS from taking null rows? Can I maybe write a query in SSIS to say only to take rows where postcode<>null ?

Thanks in advance for any help i get :-)

Integration Services :: SSIS Insert Non Null Value Into Null Rows

Jul 15, 2015

I have a flat file with the following columns

SampleID   Rep_Number   Product  Protein   Fat   Solids

In the flat file SampleID and Product are populated in the first row only, rest of the rows only have values for Rep_Number, Protein, Fat, Solids.

SampleID and Product are blank for the rest of the rows. So my task is to fill those blank rows with the first row that has the sampleID and Product and load into the table.

Using SSIS 2005 To Strip Out Bad Rows In Excel And Then Insert Detailed Rows Into OLE DB Data Source

Apr 6, 2006

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

Compressing Multiple Rows With Null Values To One Row With Out Null Values After A Pivot Transform

Jan 25, 2008

I have a pivot transform that pivots a batch type. After the pivot, each batch type has its own row with null values for the other batch types that were pivoted. I want to group two fields and max() the remaining batch types so that the multiple rows are displayed on one row. I tried using the aggregate transform, but since the batch type field is a string, the max() function fails in the package. Is there another transform or can I use the aggragate transform another way so that the max() will work on a string?

Need NULL Rows

Dec 11, 2007

I'm banging my head trying to figure out why this simple query isn't returning null rows for sales. I'm using a calendar table (MetaDates) that should return all 12 months whether there are sales or not (null). I've tried several combinations without any success. Any help with the below query is much appreciated.

SELECT Customer.Country, MetaDates.[Month], MetaDates.[Year], isNull(SUM(Order_Line_Invoice.Sales),0)
FROM Order_Line_Invoice inner join Customer on customer.custid = Order_Line_Invoice.custid RIGHT OUTER JOIN
MetaDates ON MetaDates.[Date] = Order_Line_Invoice.InvoiceDate
WHERE (MetaDates.[Year] = 2007) AND (Customer.Country IN ('ar'))
GROUP BY MetaDates.[Year], MetaDates.[Month], Customer.Country
ORDER BY MetaDates.[Year], MetaDates.[Month]

DTS Excel Import AlphaNumeric As NULL

Feb 15, 2000

I have seen this problem posted several times and not seen an applicable solution yet. No offense, the suggestions may have been good for those scenarios, but not this one.

Several (at least 4) Excel Spreadsheets come from a vendor that I need to import to a table. They are uploaded via web to a directory so they can be imported by a scheduled DTS package.

Darren Green's site gave me some good info on how to get this far, btw.
But I cannot overcome the NULL-ifying of Column Headers for Numeric fields when the spreadsheet is imported.

I've tried:
DTSDestination("Yr1") = trim(DTSSource("F7"))
DTSDestination("Yr1") = CHR(34) & trim(DTSSource("F7")) & CHR(34)
DTSDestination("Yr1") = cstr("0" & trim(DTSSource("F7)))
DTSDestination("Yr1") = clng("0" & DTSSource("F7")))

Named ranges, along with any sort of spreadsheet editing is too time consuming.
And since they come from a vendor, having them come to us with the required items in place is not possible.

Even though it seems easy enough, it's a toughy.
Any help would be rewarded with respect and admiration.
Thanks, Mike

Null Replacement On Excel Query

Nov 23, 2006

Hello everyone,

i'm using an excel source where i get my excel rows using a query, I'd like to replace possible null values with some other data(a zero value or a empty string for example), that's because i'm performing a transformation into a sql server table wich doesn't accept null values for some columns.

Is there any function to convert a null value to another one? I used the sql server's CASE function, but it didn't work. Any suggestions?


thanks a lot.

Excel Source Returning NULL

Feb 27, 2007

I've a package that has a excel source. But i'm having a strange problem with it. One of the columns in the source file have a lot of null values but not all of them. But when i run the package a put a data viewer right after the source and i can see that it's showing that the few fields that should have values are also null. I've tried a lot of things but they didn't work. I need some help and fast if possible.
Example: Source file.xls
Name Grade OtherGrade
John 30 30.23
In the DataViewer
Name Grade OtherGrade
John 30 NULL

Omit Rows That Have NULL Value

Sep 21, 2015

It's been a while since I last posted on here, about 4 years maybe more. Anyway I'm happy to be back. I have an existing query that I needed to add two columns to. I did that but now my dilemma is to have the query NOT return NULL values in a particular column (pd.premium_amount). I tried adding WHERE pd.premium_amount IS NOT NULL and that did not do the trick. I was thinking about trying to use CASE statement but didn't really see that as being an option. Below is my code.

USE [AmLink_DW]
DECLARE @Bil_Grps TABLE (bil_grp_id int, bil_grp_sname varchar(50))
INSERT INTO @Bil_Grps (bil_grp_id, bil_grp_sname)
SELECT *
FROM (
VALUES

Select Rows From Database Where Fields Are Null

Hi, how do i do a select statement with asp.net to return a record if a field is null.  I have the following code:

The variable parentId is a nullable int.  However when i pass in a null value it doesn't return anything even though there are records in the database that have a null value for the ParentId field.
Appreciate if someone could tell me what i am doing wrong.  Thanks

Having Rows With Some Null Values Returned Conditionally

Aug 8, 2012

This should be a simple solution, but it has been a long time since I've done any query writing (mostly in Oracle) and I am stumped, so here goes:

We are in the process of converting Access database to MSSQL with web form front ends.

I have a table, all columns are nullable, and want users to be able to query from a form, which has a field for each column and defaults to a % wild card for the entered value.

I want the users to be able to put any string in any field, and have it return each row that matches that, including rows with null values in the other columns, but not the column with the entered criteria.

Here is a sample of the data:

Code:
SQL> select * from test;

COL1 COL2 COL3 COL4
----- ----- ----- -----
this is a test
this is not test
this is not
this is test too
is test too
is too
is too

7 rows selected.

Now, if I have this SQL run, it will return only rows that have no nulls in any columns:

Code:
select
col1,
col2,
col3,
col4from test
where
col1 like'th%'
and col2 like '%'
and col3 like '%'
and col4 like '%';

COL1 COL2 COL3 COL4
----- ----- ----- -----
this is a test
this is not test
this is test too

Now, if I use an OR clause for each column, this mostly works, but the trouble is it will also return rows with null values for the field that has criteria entered in it:

Code:
select
col1,
col2,
col3,
col4from test
where
(col1 like'th%' OR col1 is null)
and (col2 like '%' OR col2 is null)
and (col3 like '%' OR col3 is null)
and (col4 like '%' OR col4 is null);
COL1 COL2 COL3 COL4
----- ----- ----- -----
this is a test
this is not test
this is not
this is test too
is test too
is too
is too

The idea is to only select the first 4 rows in the above example.

I was playing with ISNULL in the select clause, but all it does is substitute a string for a null, and I think CASE will do the same thing.

Is there a way I can write this query so it will return rows with NULL values in any column, except the one(column) that has user entered criteria in it?

Won't Select Rows With Null Field Values

Aug 29, 2006

I cannot in the life of me understand what goes wrong here... In a webapplication (C#.NET) I traced an inability to retrieve existing records to SQL Server, where I cannot do the same either. The problem is that in the parameterized query, some fields can be null, and thus when the corresponding fields in the database record are null also, they should be selected. But this won't happen for some reason.

I wrote a test SQL statement that gives me the same bogus:

DECLARE @institution int, @collection int, @serialnr int, @subnr nvarchar(50)SET @institution = 1 SET @collection = 1SET @serialnr = 240 SET @subnr = NULLSELECT ID, Institution, Collection, SerialNumber, SubNumber, AccessionYear, Sagsnummer, DanekraeNr, TaxonIdentified, Stratigraphy, TypeStatus, PlacementRoom, PlacementCabinet, PlacementDrawer, UnitNotesFROM SpecimensWHERE (Institution = @institution) AND (Collection = @collection) AND (SerialNumber = @serialnr) AND (SubNumber = @subnr)
Now there is at least one row with corresponding fields values (1, 1, 240, null), but it won't be selected! What is wrong!?

Importing From Excel Into SQL Server 2005 Changing Values To NULL

Mar 9, 2007

I can't figure this one out...

I have an Excel spreadsheet (Excel 2003 format) with a column of values. The column is formated to General (although I've tried it formated to text). The values are alphanumeric. However, there are a few values that are completely numeric.

Example:

_ITEMNUMBER_

1-528

K214-5

184PR

45678

As can be seen, the last value is completely numeric. I am importing into a table with one column that is formated as nvarchar(50).

I use dtswizard.exe and do a simple import into the table and the alphanumeric values import just fine but anytime a value is completely numeric it has a NULL value in the table instead of the value that should be there.

I've tried changing the format of the column to nchar, char, etc, etc. Always comes in NULL.

Any ideas?

Left Outer Join Not Returning All/null Rows

Table 2 - CompanyModules
ModuleID | CompanyID

What would be the query for this? Thanks.


Edit: This is the query I have tried:


select CompanyModules.CompanyID, Modules.Name, count(Modules.ID) as Present from

CompanyModules RIGHT outer Join Modules on CompanyModules.ModuleID = Modules.ID

group By CompanyModules.CompanyID, Modules.Name

Order by CompanyID


However, it only returns a partial result set:

CompanyModules.CompanyID | Modules.Name | Present
1 | A | 1
1 | B | 1
1 | C | 1

Nested Join To Return Only Rows With Null Values From All Tables

Oct 17, 2007



Hello,

I have this INNER JOIN that is fine to show all possible combinations. But I need to show only rows that have one or more Null values in tbIntersect.

Should I use nested LEFT JOINT? How?

This is the SQL statement:
sSQL = "SELECT DISTINCT tbCar100.Car100_ID, tbCar100.Description100 AS [Caractéristique 100], " & _
"tbCar200.Car200_ID, tbCar200.Description200 AS [Caractéristique 200], " & _
"tbCar300.Car300_ID, tbCar300.Description300 AS [Caractéristique 300], " & _
"tbCar400.Car400_ID, tbCar400.Description400 AS [Caractéristique 400], " & _
"tbCar500.Car500_ID, tbCar500.Description500 AS [Caractéristique 500], " & _
"tbCar600.Car600_ID, tbCar600.Description600 AS [Caractéristique 600], " & _
"tbCar700.Car700_ID, tbCar700.Description700 AS [Caractéristique 700], " & _
"tbProducts.Prod_ID, tbProducts.PartNumber AS [Part Number] , tbProducts.Description AS [Description] , tbProducts.DateAdded AS [Date] " & _
"FROM tbProducts INNER JOIN (tbCar700 INNER JOIN (tbCar600 INNER JOIN (tbCar500 INNER JOIN (tbCar400 INNER JOIN (tbCar300 INNER JOIN (tbCar100 INNER JOIN " & _
"(tbCar200 INNER JOIN tbIntersect ON tbCar200.Car200_ID = tbIntersect.Car200_ID) " & _
"ON tbCar100.Car100_ID = tbIntersect.Car100_ID) ON tbCar300.Car300_ID = tbIntersect.Car300_ID) ON tbCar400.Car400_ID = tbIntersect.Car400_ID) ON tbCar500.Car500_ID = tbIntersect.Car500_ID) ON tbCar600.Car600_ID = tbIntersect.Car600_ID) ON tbCar700.Car700_ID = tbIntersect.Car700_ID) ON tbProducts.Prod_ID = tbIntersect.Prod_ID " & _
";"


Here is the content of the tbIntersect table:
Car100_ID Car200_ID Car300_ID Car400_ID Car500_ID Car600_ID Car700_ID Prod_ID ID
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
1 2 1 1 1 1 1 19
1 3 1 1 1 1 1 20


I need to return the rows that have null data, ex: second row because Prod_ID is NULL and third row because Car300_ID is NULL. In fact I need the data from the other joint tables that correspond to these ID fields.

Thanks
