Problem While Moving Data From Excel To Table Using SSIS
Jan 5, 2008
Hi,
I have an excel sheet in which there is some data in sheet1,sheet2.I need to transfer this 2 sheets data to single table using a single package.How can i do this in SSIS.
I'm trying to use Excel in SSIS to import the data from spreadsheet to a staging table. The package runs well from the web server using SSMS. But when I deploy and try to execute the package, I'm getting the below error. I've a question, whether I've to install the AccessDatabaseEngine driver in SQL database server or the web server where I'm executing the SSIS?
Error: The requested OLE DB provider Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 is not registered. If the 64-bit driver is not installed, run the package in 32-bit mode.
as mentioned in title i'm trying to move data from excel into a table in a sql server 2000 database. We have spreadsheets that produce data in excel using querytables.
we want a system the other way, by typing data into a spreadsheet, pressing a button which pushes the data into a sql server table.
Hi there. i have the following excel spreadsheet that needs to be moved into a database:
ADDRESS STREET SURNAME GIVEN PHONE CITY POSTAL NOTES TERR
40 Goodless Crt You M (416) 123-1234 SC M1B 1A1
SC-123-12
59 Bellevue Ave Doe Jon (416) 123-1234 SC M1B 1A3
SC-123-13
Most of these fields are going to be created as reference tables... and the main contact list table will only include a fk to the actual value. eg) the contact table for the above will look like:
ADDRESS STREET SURNAME GIVEN PHONE CITY POSTAL NOTES TERR
40 1 You M (416) 123-1234 1 M1B 1A1
5
59 2 Doe Jon (416) 123-1234 1 M1B 1A3
6
My question is, what is the best way to move all this data into SQL Server Express? I've been playing around with the LinkedServers section in sql and have managed to create a connection to my excel workbook. I am able to select all worksheets as tables... and i've also been able to select all records from the main contacts sheet. not knowing any better, my initial thoughts are to create separate sql statements for each reference table. eg) select street from excellink...contact$ and then combine it somehow with an insert statement into the streets table in my database. Is this the right approach? if it is, can you help with the syntax of the sql statement? Please and thanks.
I am trying to load data from an Excel spreadsheet file into SQL Server 2005 Express. I understand that DTS is the best tool for doing this but from my research it appears that DTS is not available with the Express edition and the import wizard that does come with Express is not well suited for this type of conversion.
Does anyone have any suggestions for how to achieve this objective? Thanks for any help you can provide.
l've some excel files controlled by Vendor which changing frequently. The only thing does not change is the header name of each column.
So my question is, is there any way to create a new table based on the excel file selected including the column name in SSIS? So that l can use the data reader as source to select those columns l am interested on and start the integration.
This is (probably) a simple question, but I'm new to SQL Server scripting.
What I want be able to do is move data from one table in a database to another table in the same database, once one of the fields (a date field) reaches a certain value.
Specifically, we are inserting rows into a table that are stamped with an insert date and an expiry date. When the expiry date is reached, we want to move the applicable row from the original table to an identically structured table.
Ideally, we want this to be a script that is run daily.
Does anyone have any ideas or examples that we could use.
I imported a little over 9 million records into my database without "cleaning" the data.
I'm looking for suggestions on what would be the most efficient way to get all the fields to the correct types and to insert decimals on the fields that need them.
My only idea thus far is to make another table with the correct field types and append the data to the new table.
Hi JayH (or anyone). Another week...a new set of problems. I obviously need to learn .net syntax, but because of project deadlines in converting from DTS to SSIS it is hard for me to stop and do that. So, if someone could help me some easy syntax, I would really appreciate it.
In DTS, there was a VBScript that copied a set of flat files from one directory to an archive directory after modifying the file name. In SSIS, the directory and archive directory will be specified in the config file. So, I need a .net script that retrieves a file, renames it and copies it to a different directory.
In order to export data to a 3rd party provider, I build five separate tables to store the data. Every table has a different layout, except for the first four columns. They are record type, SSN, employee id and another id number.
Basically, I have to sort that data by SSN then by record type. Each employee will have multiple records.
However, that data will need to be "merged" into one table to be exported.
I have created a table that defines the first four columns, but then has one large "filler" field that will contain the rest of the data. How can I copy data from five different tables with five different layouts into one table?
How to move some tables with data & procedures etc from 1 database to another in sql server 2005 express edition. i did by scripting but i transfer tables and procedures and not data data is the problem. tnx
I am running on mssql 6.5, sp4. We have been trying to use EM transfer manager to move one test database on one server to another database on another server. We are dealing with 135 tables on this database. The transfer works up until about the 80th atble and then just dies but the scheduled task says it failed and check error log. The transfer creates the tables on the destination database but only loads the data until this one table.
WE use all of the options in EM Transfer manager which are st as defaults.
THere is no one on the source or destination databases locking this table.
Other smaller databases were successfully transferred from one database on one server to the other database on the other server without any problems today and yesterday.
I have been dealing with a recurring problem importing Excel data into SSIS. When I pull data in from an Excel source, the data is somehow changed. In the most recent example of this, I was importing about 28,000 rows from a single sheet of Excel data, all of it formatted as Text on the Excel side. The key field, Charge_Code, is an 8 digit numeric field but it may eventually contain alphanumeric identifiers so I am interpreting this as text. The majority of the rows import without any obvious errors; however, about 7,000 of these Charge_Codes are not being passed over into the subsequent components properly. For example, I had a Charge_Code that was 30100100 in my Excel source, but it came across as 30100000.
I've tried a number of tricks to solve this problem, including changing the Jet row sample "guess" parameter and using the IMEX driver directive described here: http://msmvps.com/blogs/nickwienholt/archive/2006/03/15/86379.aspx.
Interestingly enough, if I save the Excel spreadsheet into a CSV and use the resulting CSV file as my data source, these problems disappear.
I have experienced the same type of problem on 2 different computers, using several different packages and Excel sources. Are these problems common to those using Excel as SSIS data sources, and if so are there any reasonable workarounds to solve?
When I connect to an Excel 2007 workbook using the new Microsoft.ACE.Oledb.12.0 provider in SSIS 2005, I notice that any tables that I've created in the worksheet are not recognized in SSIS.
In the OLE DB data source component (using the "Table or View" data access mode) the any table(s) I've created are nowhere to be found in the drop down list. Similarly, when I constuct a simple SQL query on the workbook, such as "SELECT * From MyTable" it returns the error:
Microsoft Office Access Database Engine Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "The Microsoft Access database engine could not find the object 'MyTable'. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly."
I know I have the name right -- I can use structured references to my named table in the worksheet without any problems.
Does the new ACE provider not support Excel 2007 tables? Am I stuck with using "overlapping" cell references to capture data from tables in my worksheet?
I am attempting to use the foreach loop structure in an SSIS package toloop through however many Excel files are placed in a directory andthen perform an import operation into a SQL table on each of thesefiles sequentially. The closest model for this that I was able to findin the MS tutorial used a flat file source rather than Excel. Thatinvolved adding a new expression to the Connection Manager that set theconnection string to the current filename, as provided by the foreachcomponent. That works just fine, but when I attempt to apply the samemethod to an Excel source, rather than a flat file source, I cannot getit to work. I see the following error associated with the Excel sourceon the Data Flow page: "Validation error. Data Flow Task: Excel Source[1]: The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "ExcelConnection Manager 1" failed with error code 0xC020200." I think thatit's just a matter of getting the right expression, and I thought thatperhaps I should be constructing an expression for ExcelFilePath ratherthan the Connection String, but I have fiddled with it for hours andhaven't come up with something that will be accepted. Has anybody outthere been able to do this, or can perhaps refer me to somedocumentation that contains an example of what I am trying to do?Thanks for any help you can give.
I currently have a export that takes data from my SQL Server 2005 DB and exports it into Excel. This process works correctly. 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.
I need to do data transfer from three tables in SQL server 2005 to the single Excel sheet as a report. Even If I create a Lists or named range, I couldn't able to transfer the data into the Lists. The idea is, whenever the data is transfered into the Lists, the three Lists (or Range) having data should grow separately.
Currently the data is transfered out of the Lists.
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.

I have an excel file source, that has a column that is a date column, although the group puts in more that just a date sometimes: example (11/1/2007) or (Sold), the problem is I cant get SSIS to ever see anything but the date, for the cells that have Sold shows me null, or blank when doing a view. Any thoughts??? I am starting to hate excel more and more.
I have looked far and wide and have not found anything that works to allow me to resolve this issue.
I am moving data from DB2 using the MS OLEDB Provider for DB2. The OLEDB source sees the column of data as DT_TEXT. I setup a destination to SQL Server 2005 and everything looks good until I try and run the package.
I get the error: [OLE DB Source [277]] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft DB2 OLE DB Provider" Hresult: 0x80040E21 Description: "Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.".

Any suggestions on how I can get the large string data in the varchar column in DB2 into the varchar(max) column in SQL Server 2005?
I am new to SSIS. I am interested in using SSIS to import an excel spreadsheet into a SQL server database. My biggest concern is how to handle/manage errors that might occur when the import process occurs. Can anyone give me any guidance on this? I could write some C# code to do the import and to create a custom .txt file listing errors that occur on import. Using C# code to do the import seems like I would just be reinvinting the wheel so to speak.
Hi , I am facing constant errors while trying to do a simple Export from SQl server database table to Excel File. I am unable to Do any mapping from teh table to the Excel File , if the Column Headers in teh Excel File are not present. Do you have any inputs on how to proceed with the Data Transfer, without having any headers in the Excel File. My requirement doesnt need to have Column headers in teh Excel.
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?
I made a package in SSIS to copy some data from SQL server 2005 SP2 to Excel 2007. The package works fine, but generate errors. If I replace the OLE DB destination for Excel 2007 with a Excel destination for Excel 2003 then they errors don't appear. The problem is that I have to use Excel 2007 because the data contains more than 65000 records. I thought maybe it was to much date, but if I limit the amount of data with top 100 it also generate errors.
The errors are:

I have an issue where I'm trying to export data from Sql Server tables (or from a result set in a SP or view) into Excel Spreadsheets. Normally I would use a simple data flow to do this. However, I need to do this on-the-fly because the schema of the Sql data is not static. The table could be a different one or the result set would have column schema that is not always the same.
The constant in all of this is that the spreadsheet columns and the table (or result set) column schema is identical. It's just that the column count and column names are not defined at design time, but would need to be defined at runtime.
Going from Excel to Sql Server is simple as I used a Script Task and the SQLBulkCopy class to dynamically transfer the data. However, BOL says that it's only one way (Data to Sql Server). Basically I need the to go the opposite direction now.
I have all of the information (SQL Table server, database, schema, and name and the Excel file path and name) already set up in variables and running through a ForEach container and I can dynamically change the variable information. I just need to figure out how to dynamically map the columns, create the spreadsheet file, and load the data into the spreadsheet. I'm sure this has been tossed around before. If someone could point me in the right direction I would most grateful.
I have an excel sheet that contain colummns as in a table in a sql database i want to transfer this data from the sheet to the table frombusiness logic code layer not from the enterprise manager by wizardwhat can i do?? ...please urgent
