I need to export data, from within a MSSql stored procedure to excel. Right now we use DTS, but its cumbersome and the users always screw it up.
I would usually just send the tabel to a .csv fiel and pick it up in excel, but I have a field that has preceding zeros and excel truncates them and uses a general fromat.
Any ideas
Thanks
I'm new to Integration Services and going through the learning challenges one often faces when employing unfamiliar technology. I've created a simple package that executes a parameterized stored procedure and returns the results (multiple rows) into an object variable. How do I export the results to an XLS file? Do I have to use a script task to do this?

Goal: To run a stored procedure and export its results to Excel.
Challenge: The stored procedure produces multiple result sets. We want to programmatically export each result set into just 1 Excel file but into different Worksheets. Ex: result set 1 into Worksheet 1, result set 2 into Worksheet 2 and so on. Tools like
BCP utility and OPENROWSET are not enabled for use on the server. So those are out of the league for this one.After I run "EXEC [sp_select_ view_ columns_ from_pp]" -- Within the Results tab of Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, I see:
viewName columnName columnDataType columnLength column
test test_id varchar 8 0
viewName columnName columnDataType columnLength column
test1 test1_id varchar 8 0
viewName columnName columnDataType columnLength column
test2 test2_id varchar 8 0
As you can see from above, that stored procedure sp_select_view_columns_from_pp is producing multiple result sets within the same Results tab in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. We want to make it so it exports to Excel into its own worksheets.
Code:
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_select_view_columns_from_pp]
AS
DECLARE @object_id INT;
DECLARE cur CURSOR FOR SELECT object_id
[code]....
Hi,
I am looking to create a job on our SQL Server 7.0 dB to:
1. Manipulate and move data from table 'a' to table 'b' (via stored proc)
2. Export table 'b' to a comma delimeted, double quote text identifier file (via dts export wizard stored as a DTS )
3. Cleanup table 'b' and end the job.
I am creating a DTS package to execute step 1, then 2 and lastly 3.
How do I execute another DTS package (#2) from within this DTS package?
Also, is there a way I can make the file name for #2 a dynamically generated name (i.e. include date and time in the file name)?
Thank You

I need a script that inserts the data of an excel sheet into a table. If something already exists it should leave it, unless it's edited in the excel sheet and so on and so on. This proces has to go through a stored procedure... ...But how?
View 6 Replies View RelatedHi
I have managed to add the DTS wizard as a tool and saved the routine. However, I do not know how to schedule my PC to automatically run this DTS procedure. I have tried to use scheduled tasks, but it does not seem to want to start.
Pls help.
Using SQL Server 2005 Standard
The basic question
What is the best way to export data from an excel spreadsheet into a sql server table?
My Application
Getting data indicating hours worked from employee timesheets into a centralised DB, then running analysis reports on it.
The columns and datatypes in the excel sheet are as follows:
Week (int) | EmployeeID (int) | JobNum (int) | ActivityNum (int) | Hours (int)
There will be a new excel file each week that, once the employee has filled out the data, would need to be saved and exported to the sql table. The columns in the sql table are exactly the same as the excel table with the addition of a RecordID primary key column.
Can I create a macro button that they can push when they have completed their timesheet OR would it be better to tell the employees to save copies of their timesheets in a certain folder on the company network and then run a batch on all the files in the folder at the end of the day?
Or is there another more efficient solution? Would I use SSIS for this or something else?
I've never used SSIS before and am a newbie at SQL Server too.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
I thought this should be easy... but, so far it has not been. I want to export data from SQL Server using a query to an Excel spreadsheet. I'm using SQL Server ODBC for the source connection and a Connection To Excel as my destination source. The spreadsheet exists and has the first row with column names. My mappings and query work fine. I don't have any warnings before trying to execute. BUT it will not insert the data into the spreadsheet. Here are the errors I'm getting:
[Destination - TEST$ [28]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21.
[Destination - TEST$ [28]] Error: Cannot create an OLE DB accessor. Verify that the column metadata is valid.
[DTS.Pipeline] Error: component "Destination - TEST$" (28) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC0202025.
TEST$ is the sheet that I am trying to add the data to and I'm using Excel 2003.
My query is simple:
SELECT OrderDate AS Date, VendorName AS Vendor, Item AS Product, TotalCost AS Amount
FROM osv_Ordercaldwecs319
All fields have been converted to varchar although I started with not trying to convert them so I have tried both ways.
What is causing the errors? Where can I look to find the problem? I'm guessing it's a data conversion problem but I made everything varchar and no formating on the spreadsheet (although I've tried that as well)
HELP please!!!
Thanks,
Linda
Hi, I am new to ASP.net. I have worked on a VB.net code to export data from sql server to excel. The code is simple and works well.

I have started just using SSIS. I needed to transfer result set from SQL statements like SELECT * FROM Employee to excel spreadsheet. One way of getting this is using import and export wizard from management studio.
As my sql statement is complex joining many tables. I am wondering wheteher there are other best ways to deal such type of transformations.
I am sure this is very simple question but yours feedback will be much appreciated.

I have to develop a simple ETL package that reads data from a csv file and writes them to an xls file; the problem is that when the number of rows exceeds the maximum number of rows allowed for an xls file i get an error.
There is a way to solve this problem? for example adding a new sheet or creating a new file?
Thanks in advance
I have an OLEDB source that i would want to ideally take in Excel with a dynamic file name. Right now, i am exporting the data successfully in a flat file (csv) destination. I checked the integrity and it seems like when i try opening the file with Excel ,one of the columns is not fitting in one cell, instead, its taking two cell space ?
With Excel , i was getting the error message saying "Field Name ABC cannot convert between unicode and non unicode string data types".
Any help is appreciated...
Thanks

My excel template has the first row headers and the data is dumped in the row after the header. I would like to know if it is possible for me to add borders around my data without doing it within the template? I don't know how much data is going to be exported so I can't put borders within the template. I put borders around the headers to see if it will copy the formatting down to the data and it didn't. Thank You for any help.

We have a requirement where in we need to sort the data after exporting to excel .But when we are trying to apply the filter on the excel and trying to sort we are getting an error ..
Is there any workaround for this??
I am curious what the "best practice" is for exporting data programmaticly from SQL Server to Excel. Is it best to do it straight from SQL Server, or should I do it with in my C# code? My program is going to pull the data, put in the excel file, then email the file. So I could write an SP that gets the data and puts it in the file, then have the C# code run the SP and email the file; Or I could have the code do everything, pull the data, export it & email it.
If it is considered better to have the SP do it, why and what is the best way? ROWSET functions?
I am using Office 2007 beta. I have a SSIS package that exports the records from sql server to excel file, when number of records is less than 24000 then it exports well, but if number of records is greater than 24000 than it does not export anything to excel file.
But when I give administrative privilages to the service account under which the SSIS package is running, it export even more than 24000.
On prod server giving administrative privilages to service account is not a good option. I don't know what are the minimum permissions it needs while exporting more data into excel 2007 file.
I thought this is the problem in office 2007 beta, but same behaviour is with RTM also.
Thanks in advance.

Hi all,
I have a large Excel file with one large table which contains data, i've built a SQL Server DataBase and i want to fill it with the data from the excel file.
How can it be done?
Thanks, Michael.
I am running into an issue while executing a sproc from Excel VBA. Everything connects fine, and I am passing a parameter, however, after a few seconds, it seems like the connection receives a "completed" command and continues down it's code, but the sproc is still executing. The result is that I never receive the record set from the sproc.Here is the code snippet from VBA:
' Create Recordset objects.
Dim cmd As New ADODB.Command
Dim conn As ADODB.Connection
Dim prm As ADODB.Parameter
Dim sConnString As String
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Dim strQry As String
Dim rowCount As Long
[code]....
And here is the sproc that is being called. the first thing it performs after the "IF" block (there are multiple steps that would consecutively be called after this, but all of the data hinges on this first step working) is a TRUNCATE statement. After running a SQL profiler while executing the VBA code, I consistently see an "account log out" entry; almost as if the connection from the Excel workbook is sent a disconnect instruction. The sproc continues to run and perform the rest of the script in the "IF" block, but the returned recordset is never returned back to Excel.
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
SET NOCOUNT ON
GO
[code]....

I have problems when exporting data into Excel file from SSIS. It all works fine with numeric columns but an apostrophe is attached at the beginning of each text cell. I tried using derived columns and data conversions but it didn't work. It seems to me that problem is in 'excel destination' task... I saw many people had this kind of problems too... Is there any solution possible?
Thanks.
Hello all,
I have a report that I need to reference data in my Page Header. I am referencing 2 data fields in my report body to do this. The report will render fine and the data is present in my Pager Header; however, when I export to Excel, the data is missing; only my labels are present. What's even stranger is that it works just fine if I export to a PDF file.
Below is the expression code from one of the fields in my Page Header :
="From: " & ReportItems!dtBegDate.Value
Again, the report will render fine and my data is present. It only comes up blank when I export to Excel. The only part of the data that makes it over is the text (i.e. "From:")
I'm at a loss on this. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Karl
Hi,
Please help me.
I need to export around 1 million records to excel. As we know that there is a limit of approx 65,000 rows in one worksheet so the exporting functionality is failing. One way is that I should be able to configure the Reporting Service in such a way so that once 65,000 records gets populated in the first worksheet, then the rest 35,000 records gets popultaed in the second worksheet.
I am not able to find out how this can be achieved in Reporting Services. Please help me in this.
Thanks in advance.
