Importing An Excel

Apr 20, 2001

I have an excel file with 5 columns. 1st column values are -

^^234
^^456
678
123
456

SQL 2000 DTS, doing straight copy into an Access table takes only first two
rows from 1st column ( see top 2 rows with trailing white spaces). How can I
import all of rows ?

Thanks for your assistance !

TSQL + VBA Excel 2003 - Importing Data From MS Excel 2003 To SQL SERVER 2000 Using Multi - Batch Processing

Sep 11, 2007

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:



Code Snippet

CommandLine01 = "USE mydb"
CommandLine02 = "SELECT Block ..."
CommandLine03 = "GO
ALTER TABLE Block...
GO"
CommandLine04 = "UPDATE Block..."
CommandLine05 = "SELECT Block..."

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:




Code Snippet
Dim SqlCnt, cmd1, cmd2, cmd3
'set the properties and open a connection

cmd1="use my_db"
cmd2="create table mytb"
cmd3="insert into mytb"

SqlCnt.execute cmd1
SqlCnt.Execute cmd2
SqlCnt.Execute cmd3

Below is the code (just partial) I have, and I need help to complete it.
Thanks in advance,
Aldo.




Code Snippet
Function TestConnection()
Dim ConnectionString As New ADODB.Connection
Dim RecordSet As New ADODB.RecordSet

ConnectionString = "Driver={SQL Server};Server=myServer;Database=myDBName;Uid=UserName;Pwd=Password"
ConnectionString.Open

CmdLine01 = " USE " & myDB
CmdLine02 = " SELECT ACCOUNTS.FULLNAME FROM ACCOUNTS" ...

CmdLine03 = "GO

Importing From Excel To Ms SQL Without DTS

Apr 25, 2006

Is there any way at all to import from Excel to MS SQL without using the DTS package and without doing it manually? I really do not like the lack of flexability that DTS has and I need something else that will always work. Basically I am importing shipping documents that are in excel and putting them into a table. This has 2 issues, 1 I don't know the file name, just the folder it is in and 2 there is a large amount of header data in the file, some of which I need, some of which I don't. Is there any solutions out there? Thanks!

Importing Excel Data

Feb 3, 2006

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,

Importing Data From Excel

Apr 17, 2006

I have an excel document that I need to import into a table. The format of the Excel spreadsheet has three columns:

|First Name | Last Name | Zip code|

This data is not normalized. I want to convert the data in the spreadsheet to foreign key values for two existing tables.

The table I'm importing to will contain records with a many-to-many relationship.

For example,

|John|Smith|77079

imports as:

|1|1|

Where "Smith" is the first record in the 'rep' table and "77079" is the first record in the 'zip' table.

How can I bring the data in and then convert the de-normalized data into ID values from my existing tables?

I have thousands of records that I need to do this for and want to automate the process.

Thanks for any help.
Regards,

Importing Excel Into MS SQL Table

Sep 12, 2006

Hi.

I have done this successfully the last time but just couldn't get it to work this time round. Please help.

I was trying to import data from an Excel file into MS SQL table. NONE of the numeric or value fields (right justified) works because they shown <NULL> in MS SQL table after the import via DTS. Those string fields were able to import ok into the table. DTS didn't show any error message during the DTS run.

Any advise? Thank you.


Best regards

Importing Excel Reports

Nov 16, 2006



I'm trying to import data which from Excel which has been "prettied up" to make it readable to users. The report has a fixed number of columns and the data itself is well structured, but there are blank lines etc.

The problem I'm having is unless the first row of the spreadsheet contains or headers, SSIS fails with error "External table is not in the expected format." and the exception below is thrown.

So I thought I'd be clever and create a template spreadsheet with the same number of columns and set the first row to strings - I made all columns DT_WSTR thinking I could extract the numeric and datetime data from the actual rows which contain data and convert using a script. But SSIS simply ignores the numeric values from the spreadsheet - all I get is String or Date values and nulls for all numeric cells?

Importing Data From Excel To SQL Server

Sep 14, 2004

I have a Excel 2000 column which looks like this:

Column A
23456
234-67
2-56
354899865

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 ?

Thank you

Working With NULLs When Importing From Excel

Jul 31, 2006

I'm trying to use a DTS package to import data from an excel file. A few tables keep throwing errors about not being able to insert null values.

Is there any way to just skip a row when a column is null? I know there are certain columns that will never be null, so if they are null, I know that I just have a messed up row in Excel.

I could probably do it by implying an SQL query and having it ignore null rows, but I can't find anything useful on SQL syntax where Excel files are concerned.

Importing Multiple Excel Files

Oct 27, 2006

I have a client who is sending me 800+ excel files each month with sales data. Each of the files is identical in structure, but has sales data for different stores. I receive all these files at the same time.

Is there a method with Data Transformation Services where I can have it work off of all the files in a given directory. I can set up DTS to work off of specific Excel files with no problem, but what I would like to do is set up a DTS so it could pull from each of the 800+ files.

Is this possible, or do I need to look at a solution outside of SQL to consolidate the Excel files first?

The Excel file would have columns similar to the following: store_id, zip_code, sales, transactions.
