My excel sheet consists of mix data types, numbers and characters but when we use excel source in data flow it onlys recognises characters and displays number as NULL. After going through this link
http://www.***s-blog.com/archives/2004/06/03/external-data-mixed-data-types/
The above link displays *** in url as it pronounces as deeks, so u need to replace "ee" as "ic" and u can see the blog.
I modified my excel source as Select * from[Excel 8.0;HDR=YES;IMEX=1;Database=C:Test.xls;].[Sheet1$]; It displays all the columns and values properly when previewed but when we execute the package it gives error as
Error: 0xC0202009 at Test, Connection manager "Excel Connection Manager": SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR.
An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21.
EXEC ('Insert into Elements (No_element, Nom_elem, Desc_elem, Code_grpe_classe, Tps_elem, Code_sgrpe, Code_produit) Select No_element, Nom_elem, Desc_elem, Code_grpe_classe, Tps_elem, Code_sgrpe, Code_produit from ' + @NomServ + '...[Elements$];')
This is where i got an error. The error is: The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "ExcelSource" does not contain the table "Elements$". The table either does not exist or the current user does not have permissions on that table.
I can't figure out what i'm missing. I've add permissions for EVERYONE on the file and on the folder just to be sure and i still have the same error. How can i check if the table [Elements$] exist ?
I want to import data from excel (1.2 million rows in 1 sheet) to SQL Server 2014 database. I am using SQL Server 2014 Import Export Data functionality and getting this error - unexpected unrecoverable error.
3 buttons beside it - abort, retry, ignore - all having the import export to close.
But I could successfully import data from excel file having less rows (150000 rows)
i have an excel sheet in it there is a column that holds values of item numbers some of these values are preceeded with zeros E.G "00123" (with out the ") when i view the data in excel i get this little green corner whice states (when pressed) that these values are numbers stoerd as text. no inside the excel sheet i have no problem with that but when i try to import the excel sheet into ssis using an excel source task all these values are imported as nulls!!!
i am lost i tried converting the format of these cells to numbers but then i loose the leading zeros what i done temporarly to solve this problem is to accept excel's suggestion and turn these values into numbers i then import them and convert them to strings in ssis and then ad dthe zeros. now althouge this works, this isnt realy a solution. i canot manualy correct each excel file each time i get a new copy and in the future i will not have the luxuery of having fixed lenght values (so i wont be able to know how many zeroe i"d need to add)
there must be a better way please help thanks in advance Daniel
Hi, I need to import an SQL string from MS Excel 2003 to SQL SERVER 2000. The string I need to import is composed by 5 different several blocks and looks like:
The detail of the SQL string is at: http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/showpost.aspx?postid=2093921&siteid=1&sb=0&d=1&at=7&ft=11&tf=0&pageid=1
I am trying to implement OJ's suggestion: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2117223&SiteID=1 to use multi - batch processing to import the string to SQL SERVER, something like:

Hi i have an excel spreadsheet in which I want to take the data and put them in a table, the table and excel speadsheet have the same unique-ID, what i need to do is retrieve the extra fields of the excel spreadsheet and match them up with the table. Is this possible, if so how?
Here is the scenario: I have an excel spreadsheet that contains 182 columns, and I need to move this data into a semi-normalized database for reporting. The SQL Server database schema has 11 tables. Some of the tables are going to use identity columns for their PK, other tables are using a value that comes from this spreadsheet for their PK values.Anyway, I have never done a DTS package of any significance before, and know I most likely need to write some VBScript to handle sticking data into the proper data tables, etc.I am just hoping someone can point me at a good resource, give me an alternative means of doing this (this is a process that will need to happen whenever a new Excel spreadsheet is dropped into a folder or on a schedule, either one). I would love to write some C# code to handle these things, but a DTS package would probably be the best, I just don't know where to start.Thanks,
I am using SQL 2005 the developer edition and need to import a couple thousand records while I try and create a web tool that will filter the data.
I know unltimately I will need to create some sort of application to move the data over. But I am not going to waste my time do that unless I am successful on the web site side.
What is an easy way to import the data. I tried the import wizzard multiple times and have recieved an error...multiple times.
In SQL 2005, is there a way to autmotatically import data from excel into an existing table. So far, I can only do this into a new table. Any help is appreciated.
Error during Transformation 'DirectCopyXform' for Row number 813. Errors encountered so far in this task: 1. TransformCopy 'DirectCopyXform' conversion error: Destination does not allow NULL on column pair 1 (source column 'Customer' (DBTYPE_R8), destination column 'Customer' (DBTYPE_STR))
What does that mean?
I have an excel file named Customer List with fields such as Customer, Name, City. I want to import it into a syspro table called SyproCompanyF.ArCustomer.
I am trying to import a table from Access and/or Excel. I have attempted with both programs. I get errors possibly due to some bad data over the years. Is it possible to tell SQL Server to import a table and discard any errors? or is there a way to scrub the data before importing to make sure all possible causes of errors are corrected or addressed?
When I create a DTS package to import this column, only the values without a hyphen get imported correctly..and a null value will show for the numbers that have a hyphen in it.
I've set my datatype to varchar, float, nvarchar, text, etc in SQL Server 2000...but nothing seems to work. I have also changed the datatype in my excel spreadsheet to text, general, etc.
I've tried so many combinations, I forget which ones I've tested...Anybody have an idea what I should try ?
Hey guys,I am trying to import data from an Excel spreadsheet into my SQLdatabase. I am running SQL 2005.I following Microsoft's instructions for creating a linked server, andit appeared to work. However when I run this query:SELECT * INTO test FROM OPENQUERY(EFORMS,'SELECT * FROM [Form Tracker Baseline$]')I get the following error:The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server"EFORMS" reported an error. The provider did not give any informationabout the error.Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider"Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "EFORMS".Test is the table that will receive the imported data. Eforms is thename of my linked server, and Form Tracker Baseline is the worksheetname.The error sounds like it can not locate my spreadsheet. Any ideas whyI am getting this message? Is there an easier way to do this import?Thanks,
Hi all, I am trying to export data from an excel file to SQL Server database for reporting. Unfortunately I get the following errors.
[OLE DB Destination [54]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E21 Description: "Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.".
when i m importing data from excel to Sql using DTS the column which has text content was not imported as same in excel sheet. whereas a special character is appearing in between the lines. the text field contains multiple lines but the conetent is imported in single line .
Data for Source Column 15 'Notes' is too large for the specified buffer size. How do I get around this, I can see some of the notes entries are beyond 255 chars so I changed the destination datatype to textI have never seen this error when importing before. What do I do?
My issue involves importing data from excel into MS SQL properly.
Currently I am using MSSQL Standard Edition, ASP Pages and VBScript together to allow users of my site to upload excel sheets with a specific column header arrangement and the subsequent data below.
The issue I am having is that even with the data formatted (General, text, or any other ways I have tried), MS SQL still does not recognize most of the data in the cells. Mainly data in the first column, the rest of the columns seem not to have as much of an issue.
Problem being is that the data consists of numbers and letters, more specifically part numbers. These part numbers can be a wide range of combinations of say 12HJ78UY-001 or NT78E64AA. If it is pure numbers such as 0983465, then it imports perfect, but if there are numbers and letters mixed then MS SQL places a <NULL> in the field instead.
I thought it was the VBScript, so I took one of the excel files and manually imported it into its own table into MS SQL. The exact same problem occurred.
I exported the data in the excel sheet to a text file (tab delimited), then imported it into a new table into MS SQL, it worked perfect. No data problems whatsoever.
I have even converted the data to a text file, copied it all, then performed a “Paste Special” (which I know my users will never do) on a new fresh Excel sheet, and MS SQL still cannot read the information properly, I get the <NULL>.
Currently everything I have is automated and I need to keep it that way, but I cannot seem to find an automated solution to convert xls to txt or make MS SQL read these excel sheets properly.
Any ideas? Thank you very much in advance if you have the answer.
I have excel file that has field named Purpose. Its max length is 400 character. I import this file to sql server database table. And also i change the purpose field in sql server database table with nvarchar 400. But when i run this job, it gave me error message:
Error at source for row number 1215. Errors encountereed so far in this task: 1. Data for source column 18 ('Purpose') is too large for the specified buffer size.
What should i do so that i still can import the data from excel to sql server database?
I have gone through most of the question posed by people, about importing data from EXCEL sheet to some table using SQL server database. I have a slight variation of this problem.
My excel file contains some information apart from the normal data. Lets say some 5-6 lines always gives me some info about the data, like its purpose, client info, date etc... After this INFO my actually data start, which I want to load into table.
I have found some wizard for the same, "EMS SQL MANAGER 2005", which supports most of the file formats, and load data into the database.
But we are planning to not use this tool, instead everything should be done using TSQL.
If somebody can please gives me some idea how this problem can be tackle, it would be a great help. We won't be using any Third party tools, like scripting etc...
Hi I have to import data from a number of excel files to corresponding tables in SQL 2005. The excel files are created using excel 4.0. I have created an excel connection manager and provided it with the path of the excel sheet.Next i have added an excel source from the toolbox to the dataflow. I have set the connection manger, data access mode, and the name of the excel sheet (the wizard detects the sheet correctly) in the dialog window i get when i double click the excel source. Every thing goes fine till here. Now when i select the 'columns' in this dialog window or the preview button, i get this error

I want to import MS Excel data into MS SQL 2000 and I am programming this in VB 6.0. I am referring the article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316934/EN-US/ for this. I can able to import Excel data successfully into SQL database table. But the problem is, the order of exported data in SQL table is not matching that of MS Excel data. All the rows were jumbled, which made it totally unusable.
Please guide me how to Import Excel data into MS SQL in its original order only. Any other method other than what I am following is present; please suggest me to keep the original order.
We have a 2014 SQL Server. I have a SSIS package written in VS 2008 where I am simply importing an .xlsx into an existing table via a mapped drive. I have it working on my development machine using the 2007 Access 32 bit driver from [URL]..... Our DBA is trying to schedule the package to execute on a schedule job on the 2014 server and we received an error. He installed the 32 bit driver and still getting the error. I set the package to run in 32 bit and we are still getting the error.

Hi, I would like to import an Excel spreadsheet into SQL Server 2005. I can do this quite easily using the Import/Export wizard, and have each row in the spreadsheet transfer to a new row in the database table. However, I want to import the first few columns of the spreadsheet row into one table (called Products), but put the remaining columns into a related, three-column table, called Product_Details. In the Product_Details table, one column would hold the spreadsheet column value, the other column would be a FK integer value linked to the PK in the Products table, and the third column the primary key as normal. So, somehow, I would need to get hold of the primary key value when the first spreadsheet columns are inserted into the Products table and then insert the remaining columns into the Product_Details table with two values per row - one value being the spreadsheet cell value, the second being the primary key of the new product in the Products table. TIA, Graham.
Hi all. I want to export data from excel 2003 to sql server 2005. I am using the following script: EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1; GO RECONFIGURE; GO EXEC sp_configure 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries', 1; GO RECONFIGURE; GO Insert into Pamphlet Select * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Excel 8.0;Database=C:Pamphlet.xls;HDR=YES', 'SELECT * FROM [Sheet3$]') But it is giving the following error: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 2 The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)" reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error. Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 2 Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)". The above script is working fine with Excel 2002 but not with 2003. Can someone please provide me exact script of importing data from excel 2003 to sql server 2005. I have also tried the Linked server option but it is still giving the same error. Please help me.
