SSIS Excel Source Read Problem

Jun 23, 2006

I have a problem with reading data from an Excel file in SSIS. I'm trying to read a column that mostly consists of decimal values, but there are couple places where column entry is 2 numbers separated by a slash (e.g. "100/6.0"). SSIS tries to be smart and identifies the column data type as decimal and when it reads the cell with the slash in it, it reads as NULL. I tried to make my excel source reader component to read that cell as a string, but it gives me an error. If anybody has come across something like this, I would highly appreciate some help

Certain Numeric Fields Not Read From The Excel File When Using A Excel File Source.

Jul 20, 2006

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.

Thanks,

Manisha

1.Change the Value  of the Row TypeGuessRows from 8 (Default value) to 0  and ImportMixedType = text

• xls

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

SSIS Read Excel Rows And Create New Output

Feb 1, 2013

I have an excel file with following data:

Agent State Exposure Insured Name
Rogers Inc MA 100,000 John Smith
SAN Group RI 200,000 Jim Morrison
SAN Group RI 100,000 Jimi Hendrix
123 Agency MA 300,000 Mickey Mouse
Rogers Inc MA 50,000 Mike Greenwell

I want to be able to read the file and create new excel files for each Agent listed. So for Example, the above file would create 3 separate files since there are 3 different Agents listed. Each Agent file would contain the same information from the original file. The name of the file would be somethign like AgentName.xls...So the SAN group file would have this:

Agent State Exposure Insured Name
Rogers Inc MA 100,000 John Smith
SAN Group RI 200,000 Jim Morrison
SAN Group RI 100,000 Jimi Hendrix

Is there a way to accomplish this in SSIS?

Apr 16, 2008

Hi all, i got this error:


[DTS.Pipeline] Error: "component "Excel Source" (1)" failed validation and returned validation status "VS_NEEDSNEWMETADATA".

and also this:

[Excel Source [1]] Warning: The external metadata column collection is out of synchronization with the data source columns. The column "Fiscal Week" needs to be updated in the external metadata column collection. The column "Fiscal Year" needs to be updated in the external metadata column collection.

I tried going data flow->excel connection->advanced editor for excel source-> input and output properties and tried to refresh the columns affected.
It seems that somehow the 3 columns are not read in from the source file?
ans alslo fiscal year, fiscal week is not set up up properly in my data destination?

Integration Services :: How To Make SSIS Read Excel File

Dec 7, 2011

I’ve been trying for a while now (won’t say how long), to get BIDS to read a very simple Excel file. 

I’m talking SIMPLE!!  No matter what I don, SSIS keeps throwing an error, and of course it doesn’t say what the error is, so I can’t really debug it. 

I’ve tried this at least 20x with flat files, and it works perfect each time. I’ve done Data Conversions, Sorting, Union All, and several other Transformations; all work perfect. 

Trying to used Excel as a data source, is proving to be a mind numbing experience. Of over 20 different attempts, it hasn’t worked even once. I can make it as simple as you can possibly imagine, and SSIS, refuses to even perform the first step (I’m not even trying to create a table in SQL Server anymore). 

I have the Excel file path (very simple)

I have the Excel version (very simple)

I have the Connection Manager (very simple)

I have the Sheet name (very simple)
 
All I can do is see a preview of the Excel sheet before the process runs.  As soon as I het F5, I get an instant error, for no reason whatsoever, and no debugging options,whatsoever.

SSIS Wizard Cannot Import Text Columns Longer Then 255 Using Excel Source

Nov 29, 2006

(Applies to SQLServer 2005 SP1)

We have found that using the SSIS "Import and Export Wizard" using the "Microsoft Excel" data source that there appears to be a maximum column length of 255 characters for any row.

Even when defining the destination table columns as nvarchar(4000), the wizard fails with the errors shown below.

We have found no workaround except manually changing the imput data. There doesn't appear to be any "Advanced" options for the Excel importer as there are for the flat-text importer. So, no question here, just posting the bug so that *next* time someone searches the web for an answer, this post comes up

MessagesError 0xc020901c: Data Flow Task: There was an error with output column "English String" (18) on output "Excel Source Output" (9). The column status returned was: "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page.". (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard) Error 0xc020902a: Data Flow Task: The "output column "English String" (18)" failed because truncation occurred, and the truncation row disposition on "output column "English String" (18)" specifies failure on truncation. A truncation error occurred on the specified object of the specified component. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard) Error 0xc0047038: Data Flow Task: The PrimeOutput method on component "Source - Sheet1$" (1) returned error code 0xC020902A. The component returned a failure code when the pipeline engine called PrimeOutput(). The meaning of the failure code is defined by the component, but the error is fatal and the pipeline stopped executing. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard) Error 0xc0047021: Data Flow Task: Thread "SourceThread0" has exited with error code 0xC0047038. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard) Error 0xc0047039: Data Flow Task: Thread "WorkThread0" received a shutdown signal and is terminating. The user requested a shutdown, or an error in another thread is causing the pipeline to shutdown. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard) Error 0xc0047021: Data Flow Task: Thread "WorkThread0" has exited with error code 0xC0047039. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)


edit: After searching further this is documented under "Excel Source"
in BOL which provides a registry-based workaround.  I guess the issue
is that the wizard considers truncation to be  a 'fail' case and
there's no easy way to override this behaviour, specify the column
types nor determine which line is in error)



Truncated text. When the driver determines that an Excel column contains
text data, the driver selects the data type (string or memo) based on the
longest value that it samples. If the driver does not discover any values longer
than 255 characters in the rows that it samples, it treats the column as a
255-character string column instead of a memo column. Therefore, values longer
than 255 characters may be truncated. To import data from a memo column without
truncation, you must make sure that the memo column in at least one of the
sampled rows contains a value longer than 255 characters, or you must increase
the number of rows sampled by the driver to include such a row. You can increase
the number of rows sampled by increasing the value of TypeGuessRows under
the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftJet4.0EnginesExcel registry
key.

Can I Use And Excel Doc Saved In An SQL Server Table In An Image Type As A Source For An SSIS Script?

Aug 10, 2007

Hi Folks,

My situation is that Excel files are to be downloaded into a SQL Server 2005 table (perhaps as type image or nvarchar), which serves as a document repository. From there, they should be converted to XML. Use of an NT file directory is strongly discouraged. I would like to have SSIS read the Excel from one field in a table and then write the XML into another field in the same (or perhaps another) table. Is this possible? If not, is the a strait-forward way to do this?

Also, I€™m hoping to invoke the SSIS script from a SQL Server INSERT trigger so the conversion is done during the INSERT.

Thanks,
Rob

Integration Services :: Excel Source On SSIS 2008 Brings Null Values

Apr 20, 2010

I'm trying to import some XLS files that I receive from some suppliers. The problem is that every time they send some columns with text values but formatted as number. When I read those columns with SSIS Excel Source, they come all with null values.

I don't want to change the columns data types every time, so I would like to know if there's a way to bypass the column types that are already there.

I tried to use both the Jet driver and the Office 12 driver. I've already used the IMEX=1 on ExtendedProperties too with no success. Is there a way to force reading the columns as text, even if they have data types assigned to them?

Integration Services :: SSIS Excel Data Source Numeric Values Returned As Null

May 8, 2009

I'm using SSIS 2005 Enterprise edition,  I'm creating a package that reads an excel (xls) file using the "excel source" component, and it dumps the data into an OLEDB destination (a sql server). When I drag the excel source component and create the excel connection to my file the component automatically reads the columns and their datatypes.

The problem is that I have a column which has numeric data and the package uploads as NULL every number that starts with a zero. (note: in excel this column is formatted as "text", despite it has only numbers, because it's the only way excel maintains the left sided zeros).

So I checked the data types by right clicking the excel source component -> show advanced editor and my surprise is that this column's data type is detected as double-precision float, and it doesn't let me change it. URL... but it only works when the first row of data has a number beginning with zero on this column. How to get the data imported correctly?

Reports Exported As Excel Cannot Be Read By Mac Version Of Excel

Jan 31, 2007

I searched the list but did not see anything related.

I cannot open a file directly exported from RS in the Excel format. If I open the file in the Windows version and then close it, no need to even save it, I can then open it with the Mac version of Excel. The file size after closing is about 2K less so the RS program is adding something onto the file that the Mac version does not like. It will crash Excel when trying to open.

I cannot export the report as CSV as it will not correctly import into Excel on the Mac.

Is there a work around for this?

Thanks.

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

How To Pass The Excel Sheet Names To The Excel Source Control Through Variables

Feb 22, 2006

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,

No Records Read From XML Source Xml File.

I have a simple data flow where I am trying to import data from an xml file into a SQL Server table. I have an xsd that seems to work because the XML Source can pick up all the elements in the xml file. The problem is that the process executes successfully without any rows being imported. The xml file has lots of data. But no messages or warnings are given to suggest why no rows are being written to the table.

0x80131500 Error While Trying To Read An XML Source

Jul 19, 2006

Hi,

This is my first time trying to import data from an XML file. It seems wonderfully straightforward. I currently have my Data Flow set up correctly. However, when I try to run my package I get a series of errors. One error is a 0x80131500 which is a very generic error. It say's it's haveing a hard time with a 'Url' field in the XML. The size of the field is set to 255 which should take care of any issues with Truncating. The only issue that I can see with that field is that it contains a query string which of course contains a special '&' XML character (&amp;). When I set the Error Handling to Ignore that Error on that column, it imports just fine, however, NONE of the URL's get inserted.  So there must be a problem with every URL in the XML. Here are the error messages I recieved from the Progress section:

[XML Source [1]] Error: The "component "XML Source" (1)" failed because error code 0x80131500 occurred, and the error row disposition on "output column "Url" (59)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component.
[XML Source [1]] Error: The component "XML Source" (1) was unable to process the XML data. Pipeline component has returned HRESULT error code 0xC0209029 from a method call.

----And then alot of DTS.Pipeline errors.

I have done alot of searching for this error in regards to SSIS, but the information is scarce. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time in this matter.

P.S. Just started using SSIS last week and I love it! The team did an excellent job!

How To Read File Information From Source Folder!

Mar 6, 2008

I am new to SSIS and I am trying to do following thing using WMI Reader Task.

I have developed SSIS package which import data from flat files.
Now I have to add following functionality to SSIS package

Before SSIS package load data I would like to check If there are all files in source folder and check the files are with current date.
If both condition true then only load data.

After some research i found that WMI uses specialized query language known as WQL, which is similar to SQL, to obtain information on files and directories.

Also i found that Under WMI Reader Task editor properties you can write WQL query to receive file information from source folder.

Can Anyone suggest me What WQL query i have to write to retrive file information from Source folder?

Or

Any Other suggesion i should approach?

Please advise me!...Any help would really appriciated...
