Can't import excel file using Powerpivot Import Table Wizard

I am new to the powerpivot in 2010 Excel.   I was trying to use the Powerpivot's import table wizard to import an Excel file into Powerpivot.  I was able to connect the target source file when I was in the wizard window testing the connection. 
However, after I accepted to import the file and clicked finished, I couldn't see all the columns of the file were completely uploaded into the PowerPivot worksheet.  Also, the file has only 138 rows but it ends up over thousands row.  Can you please
let me kow if this feature works at all or did I miss any steps?

Hi MySueSue,
Here are some tutorials about how to Import Excel Data into a PowerPivot Workbook.

  • Importing multiple files using the Import File menu.

    For some reason I am never able to add more the 5 mp3 files using the Import File menu. All of my files are located on the NAS device and if I select the Import Folder menu all the files in the folder will be imported. However, time after time I add more files to the same folder and then need to import just the new files to iTunes. For that I am using the Import File menu. If select more then 5 files, only 5 files will be imported. Some times I have 100 new files that I want to add, and moving 5 files a time is time consuming and painful. I try opening the folder, selecting all files and dropping them into iTunes, but that did not work. Is there a way to import more than 5 files at a time, or iTunes is not capable doing that?

    I am often surprised how many ways there are to add songs to iTunes. Selecting a number in the open file dialog must have a maximum string length for the file names. I bet that the path and file name are long on those songs and that is why you can only load 5 at a time from your NAS. What I have had luck with and is very easy is to select a group of songs and right click and "play" them. My iTunes is set to import and organize on play. The first song starts playing and they all load. I routinely do this with entire albums without problem.

  • No Clue where to start: Importing Excel file into existing oracle tables

    I have an excel document that has data organized in formats according to the columns of tables we have. Our database is 10 G and developers only have clients such as toad to manipulate database.
    There are two columns that are sequentially created using tbl.NEXTVAL in two different tables. They are called LEAD_ID and CUSTOMER_ID in LEADS and CUSTOMER table obviously these are not included in the file.
    CREATE tbl CUSTOMER ( int CUSTOMER_ID, varchar(40) FirsName, varchar(40) LastName )
    CREATE tbl LEADS ( int LEAD_ID, int CUSTOMER_ID, varchar(40) notes, varchar(40) status )
    The excel file is organized in cells that is consistent..
    Where do I start, how would I do it? and I am being asked to do it by tomorrow and I have no clue..Can I do this with oracle itself or I have to read the file through Java?
    Please give me some idea
    Thank you,

    Thanks for your suggestion with checking the log and bad file..It helped and was able to insert..
    Actually this is a real project.. and the actual data is in the hundreds or more.. The problem was I had put sysdate in double quotes and should have been without them. It is now inserting into the table.. however If I can ask one more question.. I have actually multiple tables that I need to insert into from an excel file which is organized in columns..
    For example.. let's say I have a row in the excel file as
    Claim_Number FirstName LastName
    A single insert would be inserting into four tables (CLAIMS, CUSTOMERS, LEADS, etc..)
    first on CLAIMS table that only takes the Claim_Number
    Second CUSTOMER table, that takes the Claim Number and Customer names ( FIRST and LAST)
    Third could be inserting the LEADS table with a sequenced lead number along with the customer name and claim number..
    So I would need to reuse the values three or four times for a single record to be inserted..
    Can you give me some idea?
    And also I have columns like ACCOUNT_TYPE that would be have same value always more like a constant or other columns like UPPER_FIRSTNAMEwith result that comes from a sql function with Uppse case of the other column.. which is just the upper case letter version of FIRST_NAME column.. and it won't be read from the input file.. How would I take care of such issues like the sysdate .. I tried the following shown in bold but didn't work..
    LOAD DATA
    INFILE 'c:\trex2.csv'
    BADFILE 'c:\trexbad.txt'
    APPEND
    INTO TABLE CC_CUSTOMERS
    FIELDS TERMINATED BY ","
    TRAILING NULLCOLS
         LAST_UPDATE_DATE sysdate,
         CUSTOMER_NUMBER "CC_CUSTOMERS_S.NEXTVAL",
         CUSTOMER_ID "CC_CUSTOMERS_S.NEXTVAL",
    UPPER_FIRSTNAME UPPER(:FIRST_NAME) ,
    ACCOUNT_TYPE CONSTANT 'Residential'
         FIRST_NAME,
         LAST_NAME
    Thank you in advance..

  • Importing excel files - problem with single quote

    When importing excel files using 1.5, I can't get data with single quotes (') imported.
    When I run the insert statement given in SQLPlus I get "ORA-01756: quoted string not properly terminated", which is different than the error that SQL Developer gives me (see below).
    Also, I have a numeric value shown without a thousands comma-separator in the XLS file that I'm trying to load into a varchar2 field. But, the insert statements have added a thousands comma-separator which I don't want.
    REM Error starting at line 1 in command:
    REM INSERT INTO table (ID, NAME, CODE)
    REM VALUES (2427407, 'Ed-u-care Children's Center', '73,000');
    REM Error at Command Line:2 Column:37
    REM Error report:
    REM SQL Error: ORA-00917: missing comma
    REM 00917. 00000 - "missing comma"
    REM *Cause:   
    REM *Action:
    One last thing, TOAD gives a way to automap columns chosen from XLS to the columns in the database. It sure would be nice to have this functionality in SQL Developer.
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Did you consider both to be bugs (i.e., single quote issue and thousands comma separator issue)?
    Thanks

  • Import Excel file into SQL, using bulk copy - date issues

    Hello. I have a VB project where I need to import multiple excel files with lots of rows and columns into SQL 2012. Currently the import is set up, using OleDbConnection and insert commands and it takes up to 10 minutes to process all the spreadsheets.
    I'm trying to switch the code to use SQLBulkCopy, but experienced issues with dates columns. Some rows have Null dates and those are interpreted as strings and won't import into SQL tables. Is there a way to format the column prior to import programmatically?
    Any advice is appreciated.
    Note -
    If I add column mapping and exclude all dates columns - import works fine. All excel files have date fields, excel files are reports from other vendor and change on weekly bases, manual formatting of the excel files prior to import are out of the question...
    The code is just basic:
    Public Sub ImportFormExcelSample()
    Dim ExcelConnection As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\MyExcelSpreadsheet.xlsx;Extended Properties=""Excel 12.0 Xml;HDR=Yes""")
    ExcelConnection.Open()
    Dim expr As String = "SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]"
    Dim objCmdSelect As OleDbCommand = New OleDbCommand(expr, ExcelConnection)
    Dim objDR As OleDbDataReader
    Dim SQLconn As New SqlConnection()
    Dim ConnString As String = "Data Source=MMSQL1;Initial Catalog=DbName; User Id=UserName; Password=password;"
    SQLconn.ConnectionString = ConnString
    SQLconn.Open()
    Using bulkCopy As SqlBulkCopy = New SqlBulkCopy(SQLconn)
    bulkCopy.DestinationTableName = "TableToWriteToInSQLSERVER"
    Try
    objDR = objCmdSelect.ExecuteReader
    bulkCopy.WriteToServer(objDR)
    objDR.Close()
    SQLconn.Close()
    Catch ex As Exception
    MsgBox(ex.ToString)
    End Try
    End Using
    End Sub
    The error I get is System.InvalidOperatiomException: The given value of type String from the data source cannot be converted to type date of the specified target column. System.FormatException: Failed to convert parameter value from String to a DateTime...
    Thank you!

    Hi Alla,
    This issue might be caused because the field contains a NULL value, but the date/time columns in your table does not allow NULL values. Furthermore, please aslo take a look at "Data Type Issues" session in the article below:

  • Importing excel file to SQL Server

    I have an application that needs to import an excel file with
    10 columns of data into an SQL Server database table with 13
    columns of data. Two of the 3 extra database columns are manditory,
    and I need to manipulate the values going in.
    I've determined the best method to do this using coldfusion
    is to import the excel file into a cvs file then use SQL to import
    the cvs file into SQL server. Does anyone know how to import an
    excel document into a cvs file using ColdFusion?
    Thanks!

    A couple of things come to mind. You might consider using DTS
    to import your data directly into SQL Server from Excel, rather
    than putting ColdFusion in the middle. Or, you might consider
    creating a ColdFusion ODBC datasource out of your Excel file, use a
    cfquery to select the applicable data, then insert the data into
    SQL Server in a loop. Not very efficient, but it can be done.

  • Bug - Import Excel File into Indesign cs5.5

    Hi,
    I'm doing a complex Indesign file with a link to a Excel file.

    The import facility of Excel or Word Document is only on a PC system of Dreamweaver.
    File >> Import >> Excel Document
    File >> Import >> Word Document
    For mac system I understand this facility isn't there.  What can you do about this?
    1) Get hold of a PC and download a trial version of DW and import the file(s) and you are done;
    2) Ask a friend to do it for you;
    3) Post your excel file online and some nice guy like Nancy, john or Murray will help you out.
    Good luck and let us know if this has given you some more ideas to explore.

  • Adding hyperlinks to imported excel file cells

    Good Afternoon All,
    I am having trouble assigning hyperlinks and defining names to the individual cells of an imported excel file (import into Visio). Ideally, I would like to be able to hyperlink shapes in other Visio pages (of the same
    workbook) to individual cells of the imported excel file and vice versa.  Is there any way of doing this? 
    Please let me know if I can clarify.

  • How import excel file as data sorce in OBISE Physical layer correctly?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm trying to import an excel file as data source in OBISE Physical layer. I create the ODBC that link the correct file (http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe_bi/bi_ee_1013/bi_admin/biadmin.html#t1)
    than imported the Excel using the import from database tool in the Oracle BI Adminstration. I see the Excel but i can't see data in it. Can you help me, please? I'm new in this.

    Did you enter a range in excel file?
    The range represents table name in the physical layer after you import excel file.
    See in this blog example:
    http://obiee101.blogspot.com/2008/06/obiee-excel-import-prepping-data.html
    Did you use import from database and select excel data source that you created in ODBC?
    I did the same and works for me.
    Save repository first and view data and check connection pool/data source name in your excel database folder.
    Regards

  • Need help-problem importing excel files

    I am about to begin work on an annual report that will involve importing charts and tables from an Excel file. I am able to drag and drop the pie charts and bar graphs into Indesign. When I try to do the same with the tables, they don't come across. When I import the excel file using the "place" command in Indesign , the files comes through as text only. I need the chart design and formatting. Any ideas?

    If this is going to press then you absolutely should bring those charts into Illustrator. At the very least you want to make sure to convert the RGB black text to real black.
    As for the tables, when you place the Excel file, make sure that show options is selected in the place dialog box. Then choose the proper formatting for the table. If you already formatted everything in Excel, choose Formatted Table. I think you'll be fairly pleased.
