I need to select a list of rows from excel file.
I formed my query in this way :
SELECT *
FROM OpenDataSource( 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'Data Source="MOC02c:empest/xls";Extended properties=Excel 97-2000')...xactions
This gives an error
Error is
Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' reported an error.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: Could not find installable ISAM.]
If anybody knows how to read from an excel file to a query analyser , pelase reply.

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?
I have an excel file which i am reading through SSIS through MICROSOFT Office 12.0 Access Database Engine OLE DB Provider. My problem is that if the Excel file has data in a column as 123.45 which is displayed as 123. SSIS is able to pick 123 only and not 123.45. however if I change the data type to Numeric in the excel, SSIS is able to read data as 123.45.Any solution other than changing data type in Excel?
hi guys, Can anyone advise me how how to read an excel doc i have stored locally? I need to be able to start the read from say row number 6 and finish the read once i get to a row that contains a pre-determined word signifying the end of processing. I intend to store the parsed data in an array that will be used as the data source for a gridview or repeater object on another asp page. I'm using ASP.net 2.0 and C# by the way. thanks in advance for any help!!!
Hi,I have a Excel sheet that have a column with mixed data:column can contain data like "892-234-32A" or like "892298343233432"I need to get all data column such as "text" to avoid numeric field show asexponential number.I'm trying with:SELECT CAST (CODICE as bigint(25)) FROMOPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Excel8.0;IMEX=1;HDR=YES;Database=C: empxadpdist1.xls' , Foglio1$)But I get error conversion type "from nvarchar to bigint" when query meetthe alphanumeric field.Any tips ?Thanks in advancePieroItaly
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
Does anyone know how I can do this? I tried adding the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel reference to the script task but it doesn't allow me to. It only lets me pick from a selection of references that are already there (not allowing me to add new ones)
I do have this reference and have used it in VB and C# app's
If there is any other way to read an excel file please let me know, ill move onto that
I am trying to create and later read a data file from a package deployed in SSISDB, but it is not reading it while it is successfully creating the file. The same package when run from the file system package, runs successfully. Generating ispac and deploying in SSISDB is running for infinite time. Is it a permission issue?
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.
I have the Excel Connection Manager and Source to read the contents from an Excel file. For some reason couple of numeric fields from the Excel worksheet are brought over as nulls even though they have a value of 300 and 150. I am not sure why this is happening. I looked into the format of the fields and they are set to General in Excel, I tried setting them to numeric and that did not help.
All the other content from the excel file is coming thru except for the 2 numeric fields.
I tried to bring the contents from the excel source to a text file in csv format and for some reason the 2 numeric fields came out as blank.
Any inputs on getting this addressed will be much appreciated.
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.
I used the below code to read excel files in SSIS 2008R2 script component and it is working fine but when i copied it in Script Task of SSIS 2012, the code doesnt work. I have define one variable
Var_ExcelFileName and stored location of excel file.
/* Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services Script Component * Write scripts using Microsoft Visual C# 2008. * ScriptMain is the entry point class of the script.*/
using System; using System.Data; using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.Wrapper; using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Wrapper;

I am getting errors in the below lines:

I have to transform 500 columns from an excel sheet to Sql Server. In Excel 2k3 , I can read a max of 256 columns only.If I use Excel 2k7, then SSIS 2k5 excel source does not support excel 2k7. If I use ole db source then again it can read a max of 256 columns.how can we read 500 columns in excel sheet (Around 10000 rows) efficiently using SSIS 2k5.
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.
Is there anyway to send excel file from ssis using send mail task without saving the excel file locally. I need to automate the process which involves loading the excel file from the database and send it to some people.
Any idea about how to configure/read multiple worksheets from a spreadsheet using single connection manager? I think using SQL Command we could able to do - not sure how to achieve that. Let me know the other alternatives too.
I have some records that have been deleted. I need to find out who did it and to do that I need to read the logs. Are there any utilities that will allow me to read login 7.0? How about 6.5?

We have sql server 2000 and i need to read one perticular xml and from that i want ID field stored in one table...is it possible by query analyzer to read xml and stored ID in table...I have only path of that xml file...
I have a problem with SSIS in that I need to read an XML file in from a URL,which brings me back the below XML. What I need to be able to do is essentially create a single record, including the nested XML <image> into the same record. This information then needs to be entered into a database table.
What I found is that if I use a data flow component, and have an XML source pointing to this URL, it essentially creates a different output for every level of nesting. This causes me serious issues because I would then have to somehow get to the information in the <image> tag, and then get everything below that, etc, to be able to get the images related to each <stock> record. This is a pain.
I also looked at using an XML task, where I could use an XSLT to transform to the required output, however, I can't point this XML task to a URL to retrieve the XML.
If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate it
Thanks

I want to be able to read a file from a certain directory. But the file name changes every day. So today its File20061203 tomorrow File20061304 or the next day it could be FileNB4434. The format in the file will always be the same though. I just want for a user to be able to drop a file in a directory and the package pick it up once a day.
Would I have to to create a script task or could I use a variable. I have been trying to use the variable but have not been able to get them to work. This calls for only looking for 1 text file in a folder but any additional links that show some good variable examples would be appreciated. One where only part of the variable changes File(Variable)Division.txt

I need to know how to import a text file into a stored procedure as one big varchar. I don’t want to import the data straight into my tables. I need to be able to work with it in the stored proc.
