Extracting Data From Sql Server 2000 To Draw Bar Charts In Powerpoint/excel
Mar 12, 2007
Dear all,
I am doing a project where I heed to extract data from a table in a sql server and then automatically create a bar chart with this data preferrably in PowerPoint (or excel). I was thinking myself that it may be done in vba/macro added to a button in powerpoint. If anyone knows how to do this i would be very grateful or if anyone know a useful website could they post it up.
I have an Excel 97 file that has a lot of data in it and I need to pull out pieces of that data. Here is one example of the data I have. It is in colum C in Excel.
What I want to get out of this to put into a SQL table in one record is (I've included a header row here):
StartDate EndDate Week Value 11/22/07 12/1/07 1 183751
What is the best way to attach this? I have several other items I need to pull out of this Excel File, but if I can get this figured out I can adapt it to get the rest of what I want.
I'm trying to import some data from a spreadsheet to a database table from a package in integration services. The problem is that I see the data when I open the excel file but when I try to run my package , it doesn't insert any rows in the table and it finishes with a success status.
My excel file has some formulas to get the data from other worksheets. I added a Data Viewer and all I see is null values in every cell.
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:

Hey Guys,Total Number of Records (Based on 5 fields): 1000Total Unique Records (Based on 5 Fields): 990Total number of fields: 5I have question regarding extracting duplicates from the dataset. Ihave 2 fields that makes a record unique. I have used group byfunction to find duplicates and got 10 records that are duplicating.Each records duplicating 1 times, thus, 10 unique records and 10duplicates, giving me 990 unique records out of 1000.Now, I want to filter out duplicates from the dataset and get uniquerecords, including all 5 fields. Here is the query that I used.select *from (select field1, field2, count(*)from table 1group by field 1, field2having count(*) >1)a,table 1 bwhere a.field1=b.field1 and a.field2=b.field2When I use this query, it gives me duplicate records as i am matchingon both fields that makes records unique. Is there anyway to justextract unique records?Thank you very much for your help.--AP
I would like to know recommendations on automate the following:
1. I want to know how to take data from various sql server 2000 data queries and load the data onto excel spreadsheets in an automated method. Some of the data loaded into the excel spreadsheets load detail data and some load data into pivot tables.
Is there any way that the data can be taken from sql server to the excel spreadsheets using odbc connections?
2. Some of the data taken from sql server 2000 database is loaded into pdf files. Is there any way this process can be automated?
Hi guys, When I thought everything is okay with this script, I got a new problem... I have a VBA's script from Excel 2003 that builds sql script and retrieves data from SQL SERVER 2000. in order to make the sql running, I need to use a multi - batch processing, to pass and execute every command line once a time.
Up to here, I am using a test case with Account number = '123456' and getting the desire results. The code below is running okay with the test case, but when changing the account number (mark as yellow in the code) to include all the accounts (or just one other account), I am getting the following ERROR: run - time error '-2147217871 (80040e31)' - [Microsoft] [ODBC SQL Server Driver] time out expired.
Now, if I take the same code, with the condition that generates the ERROR, and try it into SQL Server, I get the results without errors. Thanks in advance, Aldo.
Below the code:

Has anyone been able to solve the issue with setting up a package in EM, which connects to an Exchange(.edb) database and extracts the data into a SQL Server db. Previous message posts don't offer much insight. So far, all I have is using Access 2000, to connect & move the data, then extract from here. Thanks in advance for any help. BV
I have a form in Notes that is huge. I need to extract a part/field from that form into SQL SERVER. If I use NotesSQL Thru SQL DTSPackages, I am afraid it will run very long. Is there any other option on that?
Hey all, WE have a document management system where by Adminstrators can upload documents, once the document is uploaded the binary data is stored on in a folder on the web server. We used to stored the documents in the actaul db table, but we found that there were to many documents and it was using alot of space on db server. So my boss has decided we are now going to upload the binary data onto the web server. Currently we are donig this with new documents which have been added or documents which are gettinguploaded when reloading, but there are many documents in the db table which have not been updated and are still embedded in the db table. So i need to figure out how to go about copying the data storewd in the db table and storing it in web servers folder location. I've tried various things for a enitre day but im going round in circiles. MemoryStream mStream = new MemoryStream((Byte[])dtrResults["file"]); BinaryReader bReader = new BinaryReader(mStream); int intFileSize = (int)mStream.Length; Byte[] byteFile = (Byte[])dtrResults["file"]; i can get to this state but then how do i create a folder on the BinaryREader to then store the binary data of the file to the location. BinaryReader bReader2 = new BinaryReader(File.Open(strDocFolder + strSavedFileName, FileMode.Create)); int count2 = bReader2.Read(byteFile, 0, intFileSize); bReader2.Close();i've also tried this but when the file gets created in the folder there is no content. i do know that the file does contain content as ive tried this and downlaoding the file from that page acctually works string strContentTpe = WValue.WStr(dtrResults["contenttype"]); int intFileSize = VValue.VInt(dtrResults["filesize"]); / Byte[] byteFile = ((Byte[])dtrResults["file"]); //Downloads the data correctly Response.ClearContent(); Response.ClearHeaders(); Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename="" + WValue.WStr(dtrResults["docfilename"]) + """); Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", WValue.WStr(intFileSize)); Response.ContentType = strContentTpe; Response.BinaryWrite(byteFile); I hope ive made some snese andthat someone can hlep me. Have a nice dayZal
I have a coworker who needs to extract data from Oracle into SQL Server 6.5 and Sybase as part of an interface that runs daily. How is the best way to do this?
I'm trying to extract some data from an XML column, into the demo below I would like to obtain the CommandText value but my attempts so far are in vain, I'm fairly sure its just a path issue in the .query command but I just can't seem to get it to work.
I am running an hotel application for all the bookings.
I would like to get all the data of all the guests that stayed in the hotel (name, stay duration and dates, payment, etc).However, the GUI would make me go over one booking at a time, which would take me forever.
The application has an SQL database locally on my computer.
Will I be able to use SQL server and extract all the guests data from the last year and export it into a file, e.g. A CSV file?
I would like to be able to put custom annotations on charts. Specifically I have a line chart I want to annotate. I don't want to indicate all plot points, just areas of interest. For example, on one of our line charts there is a value for a week (weeks are the x-Axis) that is way out of whack with other weeks. I would like to be able to display only that value, circle that location on the chart and create a custom note so that when the report displays, all users can see it.
All I've been able to find that I can customize on SRS line charts is to add all plot points and be able to change their shape and color and font size. I want to be able to do way more than that with annotations. Is it possible? I have .NET programming abilities so I'd be willing to write code to do it, I just can't find any examples of how I can write custom code to do things like this.
I am using MS SQL 2008, and I am trying to extract data from a MySQL database. I am having trouble extracting the data I need.
In SQL Server management studio, I can see the linked server...I can browse the different databases on the server. I can see user and system tables in all of the databases.
When I try and query a linked table (select * from server.db.table) I get Invalid object name 'servername.databasename.tablename'.
When I try script the table.. right_click on the linked table, Script table as, Select to, New Query Editor window, I get an error '[servername].[databasename]..[tablename] contains no columns that can be selected or the current user does not have permissions on that object.'
This leads me to believe that it is a permissions problem, but if I have access to the MySQL database using MySQL and the same login/password) and can retrieve the data there, then I think my login credentials should be enough using MS SQL. I guess I think its odd that I could have enough credentials to get in and see table names, but not do a select against it.

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.
I'm trying to see if there is a way to embed SSRS reports into a Powerpoint Presentation (or build a PP Presentation using multiple SSRS reports as the slides)? I have a requirement to have a presentation available whose content is dynamic based upon the customer our marketing folks are going to visit that particular day. The idea is they would access this presentation from IIS or a shared folder
Still new to SSRS (I'm a convert from Cognos / Hyperion), so if this is a real simple question go easy on me! ;-)
I've generated some mining models against an OLAP data source (dimension). However, when I go to generate a lift chart, it seems that the only data source that can be used for input is the data source view (the relational database). Is that right? Or is there something I'm missing here.
I was figuring I'd use one slice to train the model, then another slice to test the accuracy of the results. But right now it's looking like I can't do that.
I was wondering if anyone knew how I could export data from SQL Server to a specific Excel worksheet with an Excel file, such as "Sheet2" or "Sheet3" for example, instead of dropping the data automatically in to Sheet1.
I need to import some excel files in the Database via DTS. The problem is, that I don't know the names of the Excel Sheets (there are multiple sheets in the excel file). Is it possible to get the names of those sheets? (via activeX or SQL Query or anything, but from a DTS package)
