Excel destination

hi
in my package i am using excel destination.
i am fetching data from table and loading into excel sheet.
now (1) i need column name different than what it is coming from table in excel sheet, also i want it to bold
and some color on title.is it possible?
(2) after every row i need sum in the last row automatically , how to do it
(3) there is $ coming in excel sheet which i dont want, my data type in table is money.
how to remove it

(1)
--> In advance you can create on Excel which has required col names and bold/font format etc and point to this excel
(2)
--> Inside your Data flow you will be dumping the data to Excel. If it is possible to write T-SQL or something and get that resultset which has extra row then you can achieve it. Otherwise it's not possible as SSIS has not functionality like SSRS.

SSIS 2008 R2 Excel Destination Error, "An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21.", cannot export to the new Excel (.xlsx) format

Hello.
I've been attempting to do a very simple task that just isn't working. For a Data Flow Task action in SSIS, I am trying to export data from a single SQL Server (2008 R2) database table to an Excel spreadsheet (.xlsx). No matter what I do, it
just keeps failing. The columns in the table match the column header names (in the first row) in the tab I select. Here is the output I get.
SSIS package "Package.dtsx" starting.

I kick-off the action and sometimes is hangs for a few seconds (20+ seconds) and sometimes it doesn't, but either way it fails. I tried this on a 32-bit machine, 64-bit machine, and still it fails. I tried an OLE DB connection to Excel and
that doesn't work either. I made sure that the connection string for the Excel spreadsheet is Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=[filepath\excelfile].xlsx;Extended Properties="EXCEL 12.0 XML;HDR=YES"; and still it doesn't work.
Now, when I switch it over to export to an Excel 2003 spreadsheet (.xls) it works! But I don't want it to go to the old Excel spreadsheet format, my requirement is to export the data to the new format. Is there a bug in the Access 2010 Database
Engine that won't allow me to export to the new Excel format? Otherwise, what can I be doing wrong? I set the Run64BitRuntime property to False and it still doesn't work.
My solution (so far) is to export it to Excel 2003 and then via the Script Task action use the Excel COM API (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.dll) for 2010, open the file and save it in the new format (.xlsx) and that works great! However, the client
doesn't want to install Excel on the database server! So what can I do when the Excel Destination or OLE DB Destination (to connect to Excel) actions don't work!? Please help!!!
Like I mentioned, if this is a bug, that would be great to know so I can stop wasting my time. Thanks again.

Alright, so you mean to say is that the driver is not installed. Isn't version 12 the 2010 Access Database Engine Driver? I did install that, and I also tried the 2007 Access DB Engine driver, and both don't work. What driver am I missing?
The connection string is correctly formatted, yes?
Also, when setting up the OLE DB Destination action and I have it point to the Excel spreadsheet, and I specify as the provider "Microsoft Office 12.0 Access Database Engine OLE DB Provider" and click on Test Connection, the connection is
successful. Wouldn't that mean the 12.0 version driver is installed?
Thanks in advance.

Excel Destination not showing all the available source columns automatically.

I have an excel source, i am using some transformation and conditional split and then loading the final data into few excel destination. i checked in the data pipe line, still it loads the data into excel destination it's having all the columns of the source
but while editing the excel destination for mapping it showing only 1 column F1. My question is it compulsory to have the column names in excel destination before we load data to it ? because i have to load my data into multiple excel files and i find it little
difficult to manually copy and paste column names in all excel destination. Is there some work around for it ?

yes, the destination must be pre-defined. You can either use an existing Excel file (as a template) or generate the target at design time and it remains static onwards.

Hi Vijay
Can you be little bit more specific, did you receive this error when you are designing this pacakge using BIDS
Becuase when you are designing this pacakge in BIDS, you need to manaually create a excel sheet manually for the first time you run,
are you creating excel sheet using execute sql task and excel connection with input from a variable?
Did you receive this error in validation phase or execution phase ?
Can you share your query to create table in excel ?

SSIS excel destination , data loads into header row

I have SSIS package
that is supposed to load data into excel destination (template file).
The destination has first row is Title , 2nd row has headers so I do as follows,
Select
* from [TemplateName$A2:$AD10000]
But what happens is it inserts first set of data (SQL source) into second row of template which contains header names and overwrites but if I select A3 istead,
it gives error since mapping needs column names.
Please suggest, thanks

you dont need to select range like this for that
What you can do is just select property column names in first row in the excel connection manager for that

SSIS Excel destination blank row

I have create an SSIS package in VS 2005 (because we are still in the stone age) where I have three Excel exports using the Excel Destination. One works fine but the other two have a blank first row each time (the second row of the sheet). I have reviewed
other threads but cannot seem to find a solution.
I do not have extra data in my templates. I even tried creating new ones but that didn't help. Pressing <CTRL><END> takes me the the first line where the header is.
There was one that looked promising but the selected answer referred to dead Microsoft forum link (forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2915256&SiteID=1).
Any suggestions to fix this?
Thanks for any help.

I think it may be because of some unprintable characters present at the end of the excel header row.did you try explicitly setting a range to start from 2nd row for them and see if blank row disappears

Excel Connection Manager suddenly can no longer connect to Excel from SSIS package

During the last 3 months, I used 32 bit SSIS 2008 (v 10.50.2500.0) on an WinXp machine (v 5.1.2600 SP3 Build 2600) to create a package that writes multiple query results (reports) to an excel spreadsheet. Each report is written to a different
tabbed sheet in the same spreadsheet. The package was working just fine until May 9 2013, when suddenly every single Data Flow task with an Excel Destination displayed error icons and raised the following
error message when opening the Advanced Editor:SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005 Description: "Unspecified error". Error at <DataFlow task name>: SSIS
error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER. The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager <Excel connection Manager> failed with error code 0xC0202009. There may be error messages posted before this with more
information on why the Acquire Connection method call failed. Exception from HRESULT: 0Xc020801c (Microsoft.SQlServer.DTSPipelineWrap)Originally the error message reported that the Error Code was "0x8000FFFF", but I can't seem
to reproduce that error code since. Now I am only getting the above error message.From the time I created the original package (when it worked fine) until now, I have been using the same computer, writing to a (32 bit) 2010 Excel file in
a local folder. The filename and location have not changed. The ConnectionString has not changed. The Connnection String I am using is Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\Conversion\Conversion Results_dt01.xlsx;Extended Properties="EXCEL
12.0 XML;HDR=YES;". Now an attempt to create and test a NEW Connection Manager yields me this error. "Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Unspecified error.",  whereas before I had
no problems creating a new connection manager.I checked a second SSIS package, which I also built during the past 3 months, which loads multiple sheets from multiple Excel files to a SQL Server 2008 database holding table. It uses the same
ACE OLE DB 12.0 connection to load the Excel speadsheets and this package continues to work fine on the same workstation.In desparation, wondering if the Microsoft ACE OLE DB 12.0 driver had become corrupt (even though the second package
was raising no errors), I did download and install the Microsoft ACE OLE DB 12.0 driver.  That did not solve my problems with the first package.I need to get this package running again ASAP as it is targeted for UAT testing in a
matter of days. Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated!

I submitted this issue above and now I am having the same problem again. I am using the same local computer, the same operating system (WinXp v 5.1.2600 SP3 Build 2600) as originally described. I am working with the same SSIS package that
writes multiple query results (reports) to an excel spreadsheet. This package has been successfully executed multiple times, but now I am suddenly getting the same error as follows:
Error at 1ConversionContacts [Connection manager "Excel Connection Manager"]: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft Access Database Engine" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Unspecified error".
Error at DFlow Write soft deleted duplicate claims to Excel sheet [Excel Destination - write duplicate claim nbrs that have been removed to Excel [61]]: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER. The AcquireConnection method
call to the connection manager "Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009. There may be error messages posted before this with more information on why the AcquireConnection method call failed.
The package will not run because of these multiple errors (multiple because it occurs on every single excel destination in the package).
I have Run64BitRuntime set to false on the project. I have triple checked that the excel file name (which I created and can access) exists with the correct name in the correct path, which is local on my machine. The file is the same file in the same
location as when the package worked. I am running the SSIS service under my own network login, as I was when the package worked. I have been consistently getting this same error whenever I change my network password without updating the password
in the SSIS service, but I have triple verified that the service is using my latest password. If I try to open and edit the Excel Destination in any DataFlow task I get the same error. I can successfully create a new Excel Connection Manager pointing
to the same excel file. However if I try to assign the newly created Excel Connection Manager in the data flow, I cannot activate the drop down to choose the Excel sheet without getting an 'Unspecified error' message. I then swapped out
the file with its template version, and ensured the name was updated as correct. I still get the same errors.
Oh, and the SSIS package is extracting data from a SQL Server 2008 database with an ADO.net Connection Manager using Windows authentication. I have no problems with the SQL Server connection, it has always worked and still does. It is only
the connection to excel output file which is locally stored on my machine.
Has anyone got any suggestions for me?

Webi XI report export to excel--- Formatting issue

Post Author: Sougata
CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
We have WEBI report that contains cell with hyperlink. The value of the cell in numeric. Type is string.
When we export this report to excel. In, Excel version is MS-office Excel 2003. In excel it is showing those green with Error --- "NUMBER STORED AS Text".
Any solution?

Hi Steve,
As per my understanding, the issue occurs because Excel Destination gets the data from the source. We can change it, but once it re-validates it will change it back. This makes sense since we cannot change the data type in the actual table. To work around
this issue, I suggest that we can add a data conversion or derived column to explicitly cast the values.
Besides, the suggestion post by Arthur means that we can add IMEX=1 to the value of Extended Properties in the connection string of the Excel connection manager in the Properties window to specify Import Mode. For more details about the settings of IMEX,
please see:

Export to Excel formatting Issue

Good Afternoon,
I am trying to export a dataset to excel 2010, however all of the columns are exporting as DT_WSTR although the table that the data is coming from is set correctly either to money or int.
I have tried to change the data type in the advance editor for excel destination, however when I execute the package the data type changes back.
Any idea's?.
Thanks

SSIS: Export data from ODBC source to Excel only 5000 rows at a time

Greetings,
Im inserting data into Excel using SSIS.
Im getting the following exception:
'[Excel Destination [32]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft Office Access Database Engine" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Spreadsheet is full.".'
I did some research using the following link:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/excel-specifications-and-limits-HP010073849.aspx
It states that you can populate the maximum of 1,048,576 rows by 16,384 columns
The data i am importing into Excel is only about 100,000 rows by 5 columns
After doing some research I am now aware that this is to much data for Excel to handle at one time. I was advised to lower the amount of rows SSIS is exporting into Excel........How do I lower the amount of rows to 5,000 at a time is SSIS?

Having the maxbufferrowsize
But I have a doubt that it is related. You probably max up the allowed size for your version of Excel.

AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager Excel connection Manager failed

I used VS Studio 2008 (BIDS version 10.50.2500.0) on an WinXp machine (v 5.1.2600 SP3 Build 2600) to create a package that writes multiple query results to different tabbed sheets of a single excel spreadsheet. The package was working just fine and has run
successfully multiple times, but all of a sudden when opening the project, every single Data Flow task with an Excel Connection Manager displayed error icons. Each raises the following error message when attempting to open the Advanced Editor:
SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005 Description: "Unspecified error". Error at DataFlow task name: SSIS error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER. The AcquireConnection method
call to the connection manager Excel connection Manager failed with error code 0xC0202009. There may be error messages posted before this with more information on why the Acquire Connection method call failed. Exception from HRESULT: 0Xc020801c (Microsoft.SQlServer.DTSPipelineWrap)
From the time I created the original package (when it worked fine) until now:
1) I have been using the same computer, the same login account and the same permissions.
2) I have been writing to the same (32 bit) 2010 Excel file (which I created) in a folder on my local machine.
3) The filename and location have not changed; a template file is used each time to move and overwrite the previous file. Both are in the same locations.
4) I can independently open the target Excel file and the template Excel files with no errors.
6) The ConnectionString has not changed. The Connnection String I am using is
Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\Conversion\Conversion\Results_dt01.xlsx;Extended Properties="EXCEL 12.0 XML;HDR=YES;".
7) Run64BitRuntime is set to False.
8) Delay Validation is set to true
9) This is not running under a SQL job
10) There are no child packages being run
I CAN create a NEW Excel Connection Manager, assigning it the exact same target Excel spreadsheet, successfully, but when I attempt to assign it to the Data Flow destination this error occurs:
"Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Unspecified error."
Thinking that the driver might be corrupt, I opened a second SSIS package, which also uses the Excel Connection Manager (same driver) and this package continues to work fine on the same workstation with no errors.
I have searched online for causes of this error for many hours and found nothing that helps me to solve this issue.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

Yes, I have verified that the Excel file is not in use or opened by anyone, including me. It has been two months since I opened this particular package, although I have been working with other packages in this project. I just discovered that another
package in the same project has the same problem - all Data Flows that output to an Excel Destination now have the same error icons. This second packages outputs to an entirely different Excel file than in the first package. A summay:
Package #1 has error on every Excel Destination and uses templateA to overwrite fileA and then writes to fileA
Package #2 has error on every Excel Desintation and uses templateB to overwrite fileB and then writes to fileB
Package #3 has no error on any Excel Destination and is linked to multiple files (none are A or B)
Package #1 and #2 are in the same project, but Package #3 is in a separate project .
I will try replacing the Excel files with new ones for Package 1 and 2.

Hi is there any way to install 32 ACE OLE DB in 64 bit system without uninstall my other software .
I tried yesterday to instal 32 bit ACE but its told me u need to uninstall 64 bit software first :(
thanks
When using the command line, you can force the installation of the 32-bit version while the 64-bit version has already been installed.

Basic question regarding SSIS 2010 Package where source is Microsoft Excel 97-2005 and there is no Microsoft office or Excel driver installed in Production

Hi all,
I got one basic question regarding SSIS 2010 Package where source is Microsoft Excel 97-2005. I wanted to know How this package works in production where there is no Microsoft office or Excel driver installed. To check that there is excel driver installed
or not, I followed steps: Start-->Administrative Tools--> Data Sources(ODBC)-->Drivers and I found only 2 drivers one is SQL Server and another one is SQL Server Native Client 11.0.
Windows edition is Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise, Service Pack-1 and System type is 64-bit Operating System.
We are running this package from SQL Server Agent and using 32-bit (\\Machine_Name\d$\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\DTS\Binn\DTExec.exe /FILE "\\Machine_Name\d$\ Folder_Name\EtL.dtsx" /CONFIGFILE "\\Machine_Name\d$\Folder_Name\Config.dtsConfig"
/MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E) to run this package. I opened the package and tried to find out what connection we have used and found that we have used "Excel Connection Manager" and ConnectionString=Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data
Source=F:\Fares.xls;Extended Properties="EXCEL 8.0;HDR=YES"; and source is ‘Excel Source’
I discussed with my DBA and He said that SSIS is having inbuilt Excel driver but I am not convinced.
Could anyone please clear my confusion/doubt?
I have gone through various links but my doubt is still not clear.

Thanks Shiven:) If Answer is Helpful, Please Vote

Hi S Kumar Dubey,
In SSIS, the Excel Source and Excel Destination natively use the Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider which is installed by SQL Server. The Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider deals with .xls files created by Excel 97-2003. To deal with .xlsx files created by
Excel 2007, we need the Microsoft ACE OLEDB Provider. SQL Server doesn’t install the Microsoft ACE OLEDB Provider, to get it we can install the
2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components or
Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable or Microsoft Office suit.
The drivers listed in the ODBC Data Source Administrator are ODBC drivers not OLEDB drivers, therefore, the Excel Source/Destination in SSIS won’t use the ODBC driver for Excel listed in it by default. On a 64-bit Windows platform, there are two versions
of ODBC Data Source Administrator. The 64-bit ODBC Data Source Administrator is C:\Windows\System32\odbcad32.exe, while the 32-bit one is C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe. The original 32-bit and 64-bit ODBC drivers are installed by the Windows operating system.
By default, there are multiple 32-bit ODBC drivers and fewer 64-bit ODBC drivers installed on a 64-bit platform. To get more ODBC drivers, we can install the 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components or Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable.
Besides, please note that 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components only install 32-bit ODBC and OLEDB drivers because it only has 32-bit version, but the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable has both 32- bit version and 64-bit
version.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
