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

We'll be using 2014 enterprise to populate some excel spreadsheets. We may not have the option of using ssrs so here is the question.
The excel spreadsheets have some pretty fancy heading structures, multiple tabs and in a few cases graphs that i'm sure are dependent on data sitting somewhere in the spreadsheet. The heading have variable info in them (eg FYxx where xx is a parameterized fiscal year, month names etc). Sometimes those headings have sub headings (with variable info) and so on.
Generally speaking how (if at all) do folks deal with this kind of excel challenge when limited to using ssis? I don't know if templates are going to be a good idea. I don't know if i'll be looking at a fair amount of c# etc code behind the scenes. I can be more specific depending on the feedback.
This is part of a conversion from 2 of the larger BI and statistical tools out there to the MS sql stack. Obviously with some shortcuts that we may wish we didn't take.
HI,I HAVE AN EXCEL SHEET WITH SOME DATA, I WANT TO IMPORT THAT DATA (CELLBY CELL WITH MANIPULATION) INTO THE SQL SERVER TABLES BY USING STOREDPROCEDURE(IF POSSIBLE).IF ANYBODY HAVE DONE SIMILER TYPE OF JOB OR KNOWING ABOUT IT, PLS. LETME KNOW.THANKS IN ADV.T.S.NEGI
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a query which will populate one of my columns that contains some blanks with a defined value based on a value in another column
For example in the below table I would like the blanks in serial number to be populated with "SN09"
Product_NameSerial_Number
PRODUCT1
PRODUCT1
PRODUCT2SN10
PRODUCT3SN11
PRODUCT3SN11
PRODUCT1
So the query I am looking for would basically add some values to the results where they meet the right criteria.
I am running the query through a view so I dont actually want to add the values to the physical tables only to the view of the results if you understand what I mean?
I am working with a vendor application called Cisco Unified Attendant Console - it operates on a Windows server with a SQL express database. The CUPs function of the application needs to reference a "contact" field with only the user portion of the contact's email address - generally, the contact's User ID will match the user portion of their email address, however, for this customer it does not (they use the employee number as the User ID and firstname.lastname as user portion of the email address.
Writing a script to accomplish the following:
The dbo.Contact_Properties table of the ATTCFG database has the following fields that we can work with:
- First_Name
- Last_Name
- Email
- User_Field_2
- Contact_Unique_Ref (appears to be the field that ties all other contact tables together ?)
Is it possible to create a script that could run daily to either, combine the First_Name and Last_Name fields (with a period between) and populate the User_Field_2 field for each user, or populate the User_Field_2 field with everything before the @ symbol in the Email field for each user?
Also, by default the servers that this application is installed on does not have SQL Server Management Studio installed - is it possible to accomplish with PowerShell script triggered from the Windows Scheduler?
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
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,
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 ?

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?

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!
I'm trying to import some data from an Excel 2007 file into a SQL table. I created the Source Connection Manager and an OLE DB Source Data Flow Component which uses it. (Correct me if I'm wrong, but I can't use the Excel Source because of the version of Excel the file is saved in.) The outgoing Data Flow Path thinks some of the fields being imported should be of type float, when in fact they have alpha characters in them.
The fields in the database are defined as varchars.
A Data Conversion Transform doesn't seem right because I need the data to come out of the source as string data (which it actually is in the Excel file). Even if I convert it to string on the way to the destination, I would still be missing the original alpha characters.
How/Where do I change it (Source Connect Manager, OLE DB Source Data Flow Component, something else) to correctly identify the field's type?
TIA,
Christy
Hi,
I need to write a reporting app that process daily IIS logs that are averaging about 299MB a day!
I am considering using SSIS to put the log data into a sql server 2005 database.
Has anyone done this? Or does anyone know if it is possible? And without using the MS LogParser?
Thanks in advance and any help greatly appreciated!

Dear Friends,
I created my BI Blog and I need your feedback to my post SSIS-Populating Dimension. Do you think is a good approach? In my project works perfectly!

The problem is that I have (for example) following data
AAAA AA ALH

in space delimited file and i want to populate a database using SSIS and it is not working. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
P.S. the only way to recognize colums is through spaces b/w the data.

Hello,
I am having a hard time setting the executable path for an Execute Process Task in SSIS. I have a variable that is initialized at package statup which holds the path to an executable in Windows. When I set the property "Executable" Path in an expression, I get a warning that the path for the executable is not set. One workaround was to try and initialize the variable with a bogus path with the hopes that the "correct" value will be written on run-time. NO LUCK. I still get the error and I cannot run the package until I put a static path.
Does anyone have a clue as to what is going on??

While importing data from Excel source , some column is getting null value even though excel column has value.To Resolve the issue we tried with
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeMicrosoftOffice14.0Access Connectivity EngineEnginesExcel
1.Change the Value of the Row TypeGuessRows from 8 (Default value) to 0 and ImportMixedType = text
• xls
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftJet4.0EnginesExcel
1.Change the Value of the Row TypeGuessRows from 8 (Default value) to 0 and ImportMixedType = text
the connection string of the excel
UPPER(REVERSE(SUBSTRING( REVERSE(@[User::VarInputExcelFile]), 1, 5) ) ) == ".XLSX" ? "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" + @[User::VarInputExcelFile] + ";Extended Properties="Excel 12.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1";":"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data
Source=" + @[User::VarInputExcelFile] + ";Extended Properties="EXCEL 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1";"
by doing the above setting also , the column is coming as null from excel source even though there is data in excel.
I am a SSIS novice, and need help to do the following:
Every day a Table is generated by the system of format XR+present Year + present month + present day. My task is pretty simple. I am to devise a SSIS package that will import this table on to a different server.
I have defined the variable as user defined variable. I am also able to specify the variable in OLE db source editor -> Data Access Mode : Table name or view name variable. When I am click the 'Columns' feature, I get the following error
TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio
------------------------------
Error at Data Flow Task [OLE DB Source [1]]: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E37.
Error at Data Flow Task [OLE DB Source [1]]: Opening a rowset for "xr+ convert(char(8),getdate(), 112)" failed. Check that the object exists in the database.
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Exception from HRESULT: 0xC02020E8 (Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSPipelineWrap)
------------------------------
BUTTONS:
OK
------------------------------
In short can any one tell me a correct way of using a table name as variable in
Data Access Mode : Table name or view name variable ?
One other question: can I make use of a dynamic SQL in Execute SQL Task? If yes, how do I write the query
exec( 'select * from ' + @table)
or just
select * from @table
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
good idea or bad idea?
