ExcelDestination Format issue using SSIS

Hi Everyone,
I have one scenario, My Process is exporting some data from sql server table to excel destination with date related columns like below.
Query:
SELECT
TOP 10 [DiscountAmount]
,[ProductStandardCost]
,[TotalProductCost]
,[SalesAmount]
,[TaxAmt]
,[Freight]
,[CarrierTrackingNumber]
,[CustomerPONumber]
,[OrderDate]
,[DueDate]
,[ShipDate]
FROM [AdventureWorksDW2012].[dbo].[FactInternetSales]
Create excel Tab script:
CREATE
TABLE `Excel Destination`
`Copy of SalesAmount` MONEY,
`Copy of TaxAmt` MONEY,
`Copy of TotalProductCost`
MONEY,
`Copy of Freight` MONEY,
`Copy of ProductStandardCost`
MONEY,
`Copy of OrderDate` DATE,
`Copy of DueDate` DATE,
`Copy of ShipDate` DATE,
`Copy of DiscountAmount`
DOUBLE PRECISION,
`Copy of CustomerPONumber`
NVARCHAR(25),
`Copy of CarrierTrackingNumber`
NVARCHAR(25)
Please share your suggestions on this.

Vaishu

Thanks Vaibhav for your help.
once we export data into excel, we expect date filed with date format only, not in string format.

Hi Vaishu,
You can try below two options.
1. You can have one blank excel file as a template. In advance, use the required date filter. 
Select above template excel file in Excel Destination folder. Once SSIS package loads the data in excel, user can use that filtering.
2. After the Excel Destination/Data flow task, you can have one Script Task. Write .NET code which will change that filtering. (I'm not sure if that is possible through .NET)

  • HTML Formatting using SSIS

    Hi Forum ,
    I need to do cleanup on a column to display clean data by eliminating the various <HTML> in the source. I would like to do a replace using the charindex, but my query becomes too big and i might miss some tags. What would be the best approach removing
    the <tags>  or formating  them to display in correct format? .
    Please give me some example if  we can format data according to the tags using SSIS components.

  • Please suggest how can we verify file format using SSIS 2008 .

    We have ragged files placed in directory which need to be loaded into DB. Before loading we need to validate the file format before loading.
    The file schema is as follows.
    01 XREF_RCD.
    05 XR_JOB PIC X(4).
    05 XR_PHASE PIC X(2).
    05 XR_DATE PIC X(6).
    05 XR_ST_CHECK_NO PIC S9(8)
    05 XR_END_CHECK_NO PIC S9(8)
    05 XR_ST_SERIAL PIC S9(8)
    05 XR_END_SERIAL PIC S9(8)
    05 XR_AMOUNT PIC S9(7)V99
    05 XR_ISSUE_DATE PIC X(6).
    05 XR_CONTENT_FLAG PIC X.
    05 XR_XREF_CARD_PROCESSED PIC X.
    Could you please suggest how can we validate using SSIS 2008  and
    invalid value in header (alpha character for numeric field), more than 20% of records with errors, format is not correct also need to validated.

    Before we load the data we need to verify  invalid value in header (alpha character for numeric field),
    more than 20% of records with errors,
    format is not correct (values starting or ending in wrong position),  if the above validation pass then only the data can be loaded.  please suggest how can we achieve in SSIS .  The FileFormat and filedata is available below.  
    please find the file contents.

  • How to Format a excel template sheet column data using ssis

    Hi,
    I am filling an excel sheet named sheet1 of a predefined template using SSIS. The template has many other sheets which are calculated using predefined formulas referring sheet 1. Currently I am able to successfully fill the data in sheet1 but other sheets not
    getting populated until I manually perform Text Column conversion on few columns like Date,Time(hh:mm:ss). Could some one please help me to achieve this task. Can I automate the Text to Column
    conversion operation after filling the excel.
    Thanks in advance,
    Jithu

    Hi Jithu,
    If you tried to write the the template the proper (textual) datatypes and the column is and it does not work then
    I only can suggest to write a macro that does the Text Column conversion and have the macro triggered from within the package perhaps better off using a separate process (e.g. a console app that is done using Office interop libraries) as doing it right in
    the package is quite laborious.

  • Formatting issues: when I open a msg, the font is sooo small you need a magnifier to read it. How can I set the font size to one I can easily read?

    I have various formatting issues:
    a. When I open a msg from my web browser (Cablevision), the font is sooo small I need a magnifier to read it. How can I set the font to a size I can easily read?
    b. When I forward msgs, the text gets all distorted and I need to clean it up (some symbols, lots of spaces between words). How can this be fixed?
    c. When I want to tell someone about a website, I cannot type the URL in so that all they have to do is click on it. How can this be fixed?
    d. When I open messages, the text opens in a small window and covers the "Show Images" button. Why?

  • What is the best format to use on an external hard drive so I can both back up my Macbook Pro and also put movies on it from another hard drive (PC)?

    I am looking for a solution to whether if it is best to get two hard drives or one that can do two things that I want.
    I am looking for a hard drive format that can both back up my 500GB Macbook Pro but I was also wondering if I could also put movies on it from another hard drive that is PC based. Would partitioning the hard drive work for this? I don't know what are the best formats to use.
    If this is too hard it might just be easier having a separate 500GB hard drive for back up of my Mac and another bigger hard drive for the movies etc (the files are probably bigger than 4GB). Any help would be greatly appreciated as I need to make a decision soon!

    Microsoft has not released the official exFAT file system specification, and a restrictive license from Microsoft is required in order to make and distribute exFAT implementations. Microsoft also asserts patents on exFAT which make it impossible to re-implement its functionality in a compatible way without violating a large percentage of them.[13] This renders the implementation, distribution, and use of exFAT as a part of free or open-source operating systems or of commercial software, for which the vendors could not obtain a license from Microsoft, not only technically difficult, but legally impossible in countries that recognize United States software patents.
    Can't help with that, if one is using a Windows machine then they are subjected to their rules and control.
    Limited support outside Windows and Mac OS X operating systems as of 2012, when most consumer electronic devices could only handleFAT12/FAT16/FAT32, rendering exFAT (and flash memory formats using it) impractical as a universal exchange format.
    The OP said they plan to store movies on the external drive.
    Many movies today are well over 4GB in size, thus exFAT has to be used and formatted on the PC, which the Mac can then read.
    Older Windows NT versions up to Windows Vista without Service Pack 1 do not support exFAT.
    Irrelevant, Microsoft provides a free download of exFAT for Windows XP, and Vista shouldn't be running on pre SP1 anyway.
    Some distributions of Linux have begun to include support for exFAT. It is however, only available as a file system in user space, as it's not supported by the kernel.
    Irrelevant, OP is using Windows and OS X, not Linux and if they did Linux can read the files at least and transfer, which is all they care about really.
    Windows Vista is unable to use exFAT drives for ReadyBoost. Windows 7 removes this limitation, enabling ReadyBoost caches larger than 4 GiB.[14]
    Irrelevant, the OP's is intending to use it as transfer drive between Mac's and Windows for movies.
    The standard exFAT implementation only uses a single file allocation table and free space map. FAT file systems instead used alternating tables, as this allowed recovery of the file system if the media was ejected during a write (which occurs frequently in practice with removable media). The optional TexFAT component adds support for additional backup tables and maps, but may not be supported.
    Some relevancy, but only exFAT can handle 4GB+ files between Mac's and PC's, so the need outweighs the possible problem.
    The OP needs to follow the standard Windows practice of "safely removing hardware" before physically disconnecting the external drive. If a write is occurring, it won't allow disconnecting until the write is finished.
    Support for up to 2,796,202 files per subdirectory only.[1][nb 3] Microsoft documents a limit of 65,534 files per sub-directory for their FAT32 implementation, but other operating systems have no special limit for the number of files in a FAT32 directory. FAT32 implementations in other operating systems allow an unlimited number of files up to the number of available clusters (that is, up to 268,304,373 files on volumes without long filenames).[nb 4]
    Not a issue, only in extreme cases of a lot of small files. The OP plans to use it for movies which are usually large and take up a lot of space on the drive.
    IMMO It looks like you just ran off and copied something to argue your point when all the points are basically irrelevant.
    There is only one format that can easily share 4GB sized files between Mac's and PC's without further complications.
    It's ALSO possible to install MacDrive on the PC and format the drive on the Mac HFS+, but I didn't recommend that because I know it's a hassle just like third party NTFS writing software is a hassle on Mac's.
    If you so anti-Microsoft format, then you must know Paragon has to pay a license fee to Microsoft for using the NTFS format.
    At least with exFAT there is no fee to Redmond, at least not yet.

  • Can't install windondows 8.1 on my macbook pro - format issue

    Can't install windondows 8.1 on my macbook pro - format issue
    Running latest version of Mavericks.
    Followed the exact bootcamp proceduce.
    Have official window 8.1 version on cd.
    All goes well until I have to format the 65Gb partition. Disk=0 and partition=4
    Can't get over it. Altough I formatted it via a hint found on the internet with "dislpart" in NTFS. Wich also went weel and give the labelname "BOOTCAMP". But still no luck.
    I have two questions:
    1/ How to start my mac again in normal mavericks mode?
    2/ How can I overcome the windows installation issue?
    Tried already a lot of hints found on the internet.

    First, make a time machine backup. You will need to erase ands reformat your hard drive. I had the same issue. The issue is that you can't install Windows using bootcamp without having the hard drive formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Do this from disk utility or recovery mode (hold down command and r at startup). Then you have to restore the backup to the hard drive. Then make a usb installer drive with bootcamp and then partition and install. Here's a tip: after you install bootcamp and are in the Windows desktop, go into the installer drive and then go into the bootcamp or support folder, then find a installer that contains the Apple bootcamp drivers. Also, you will need to convert the disk to an iso file. TO MAKE THE USB DRIVE FROM A DISC, USE THIS LINK

  • FCP and Motion formatting issues with DVCPro 50?

    The material is DVCPro 50 NTSC 48khtz. (Item properties indicate that I initially digitized it properly.) My sequence settings are DV50 NTSC 48khtz.
    I wanted to create a vignette effect so I exported my clips as a Quicktime (current settings) sequence to Motion. When I was done there I exported the sequence from Motion back to FCP as a DV NTSC movie.
    Some of the Motion effected clips will play, look great and then all the sudden I see a black band appear on the East side of the frame. I can stretch it in Motion some but it just degrades the image so I'd rather not.
    I'm surely grateful if someone can steer me in the right direction here.

    Thanks for the workflow tips and suggestions. I backtracked to my original sequence and found the problem originates there. I have narrow black lines on both sides of all these clips. Since I resized a few clips with moves, I didn't recognize the problem. Now that I'm closer the root of it, any suggestions?
    By the way, these problematic clips are intercut with no problem library footage that was also shot on DVCPro 50 and I took in on the same deck.
    I cruised the forum for any occurence of a similiar issue and most replies seem to suggest a formatting issue. I don't get it since I think I have everything set up correctly. As a precaution, I also tossed out my preferences using FCP Rescue 5.
    Welcome to the discussions, splotch.
    Not sure what is causing this, but I might propose an
    alternate workflow. Have your clips on the timeline
    as you wish, ctrl/right click on them and select
    Send To Motion.... Click the
    embedded and open Motion ticks, give it a name, then
    continue. Do your work in Motion, save, quit, and
    fall back into FCP. Your clips may lose their
    "anamorphicness" on their round trip, but just
    ctrl/right click on the clip and select Item Properties/Format..., then
    click on the anamorphic button.
    Try this and see if you are still getting the same
    problem...

  • Final Cut Pro to Final Cut Express -- Format issues?

    Hi,
    I'm shooting a project on a Panasonic HVX-200A, and my cameraman is going to import the footage to his Final Cut Pro station. He's then going to transfer the FCP footage and data over to an external hard drive, which I am going to use to edit the film using Final Cut Express.
    Will there be any formatting issues if I bring the data from Final Cut Pro to Final Cut Express?
    Thanks!!
    Sameer Ketkar

    Clip files can be easily imported into FCE if they are QuickTime DV-NTSC/DV-PAL or Apple Intermediate Codec (720p30, 1080i50/60). If they are other formats/codecs they should be converted to DV or AIC before importing into FCE.
    FCPro project files cannot be imported into FCExpress.
    I'd suggest a trial run before committing the project to this workflow.

  • Reports exported to Excel - Formatting issues

    We have two Business Objects Enterprise servers (boxi r2 and boxi r3.1 sp3) running side by side.  We find that reports created using boxi r2 and exported to Excel format look fine.  When we run the same report and export to excel using boxi r3.1 sp3, we encounter the following formatting issues:
    <ol>
    <li>All columns do not fit on pages.  The last 2 to 3 columns spill over onto extra pages.</li>
    <li>There are some columns where most of the values are blank, but when a row is exported that has a value in that column, all subsequent column positions for that row shift.</li>
    <li>All rows do not fit on page.  The last two rows flow onto a new page, then there seems to be a page break.</li>
    <li>On some reports dates are displayed as ######.</li>
    <li>On some reports column headings are  not centered.</li>
    <li>I would appreciate any input that would help us determine a fix for the formatting issues we are encountering.</li>
    </ol>
    The report is executed using CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.
    Here is the code from the application that does the export:
                                ExportOptions exportOptions = new ExportOptions();
                                exportOptions.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.Excel;
                                exportOptions.ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile;
                                DiskFileDestinationOptions diskOptions = new DiskFileDestinationOptions();
                                diskOptions.DiskFileName = filename + ".xls";;
                                exportOptions.ExportDestinationOptions = diskOptions;
                                ExcelFormatOptions XLOptions = new ExcelFormatOptions();
                                XLOptions.ExportPageBreaksForEachPage = true;
                                XLOptions.ExportPageHeadersAndFooters = ExportPageAreaKind.OnEachPage;                           
                                exportOptions.ExportFormatOptions = XLOptions;
                                rptDoc.Export(exportOptions);

  • XI R2 To 3.1 Sp2 migration and report format issues

    Hello,
    is there a way to fix or troubleshoot report format issues after migrating to 3.1?
    We have a heavy report that the format (the way the report looks) is very important. In crytal Reports 2008 sp2 the format is OK.
    But from BOE CMC or from url reporting the report format have problems.
    Thank you

    Hi Ruhver,
    Crystal Report documents are heavily dependant on the printer driver for formatting.  If you design the report using a specific default driver than it will be dependant on that printer driver for formatting.  When you publish it to Enterprise, the same printer driver may not exist so the report will be re-formated to fit the default driver on the server, or if no driver exists, it will use an internal method to format the report. 
    Try this as a test.
    1) Open your report in the CR 2008 designer.
    2) Click on the File/Page Setup. 
    3) Select the "No Printer" option.  This tells the report to use this internal method to format the report
    4) Save this document as "Title - No Printer"
    5) Export it to Enterprise
    6) Test this report again.  Formatting should be identical in BOE vs CR.
    Keep in mind that when you change the driver in step 3, the report in the designer will re-format.  You may need to tweak the report again in order for the formatting to be as desired.
    Test this out and if you require further assistance with this, I would suggest opening a message.  This is a common issue and a support engineer could likely help you with this pretty easily.
    Hope this helps,

  • Export sequence of still images (JPGs, TIFFs) from FCP timeline into DVD without interlaced issues using Compressor

    Hi,
    How to export a sequence with stills (jpg) into a DVD format by using Compressor without having the interlaced issue on the outcome? The stills in the Canvas look crisp but once exported to DVD format, the outcome images look interlaced. How can I best match the crisp look of the high resolution JPGs in time line when exported to DVD?
    My Sequence settings match the image settings:
    Frame Size: 1024 x 768
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square
    Field Dominance: None
    Compressor: Photo JPG
    I tried to export the sequence of img as an independent QT movie file by using Apple ProRes 422 output settings. The video file looks great. I then imported it back to time line into new sequence and exported into DVD format trying both: deinterlace and "same as source" setting. Both output DVD files still have the interlaced issue.
    I also tried to work with JPGs converted to TIFFs on a different sequence with same as Tiff settings and the issue still persists.
    I will appreciate any advices.
    Thank you,
    Izabela

    Dear Nick,
    Thank you, I understand now it is the aspect ratio issue.
    Are you suggesting that I should use Photoshop or Graphic Converter to convert the 1024 x 768 to 720 x 480 prior to importing them into FCP seqence?
    > Give the DVD authoring software the correct size:
    I am using FCP 7.0.3 to create the sequence of images (there has to be specific timing and transitions), which I then export to DVD format by using Compressor.
    Do you mean that I should set the FCP timeline sequnece settings to 720 x 480?
    Please let me know. Thank you,
    Izabela

    Using SSIS its difficult unless you use a script task after the data flow to add the header footer bits.

  • Format issue causing iBook navigation problems

    Hello!
    I created an iBook for a client, but some of the default functions of an iBook aren’t working when it’s previewed on iPad. My question is: since the file format seems to be the issue, what can be done to alleviate it?
    Problems
    When previewing the iBook on the iPad...
    Framing features such as navigation bar, book info, bookmark tool, etc. are missing
    The pages lack animated page turns
    Right and left page edge riffles are missing
    When the iPad is turned vertically…
    Pages scroll top to bottom instead of left to right as they should
    All images disappear
    Basically, the iBooks works mostly well in landscape mode but not so much in portrait mode. The client checked other iBooks to compare and the iBook I created is the only one with problems with the interface functions.
    Steps Taken To Save & Preview File
    Saved the iBook file as an IBA file. I also Exported it as an iBooks file.
    Sent IBA and iBooks files to the client to preview on his iPad (I don’t have one so I can’t preview it myself).
    The client opened the IBA file using iBooks Author then clicked the “Preview” button.
    The IBA file cross-loads to the iPad and the problems can be seen.
    The client also attempted to load the IBA and iBooks files on the Book Proofer application (this application does accept IBA and iBooks files), but that didn't work either. The client told me that are some file format issues unrelated to content, leading me to believe that it's a format issue.
    Technical Specifications
    iBook Author version I used to create iBook
    1.1 (the latest)
    iBooks version client used to preview iBook
    iBooks version 2.1.1 (April 16, 2012 release)
    iPad version the iBook is being previewed on
    1st Generation 64GB iPad
    File being used to preview on iPad
    The IBA and iBooks files for the iBook
    Could it be file format incompatibilities? Has anyone had this issue before? I hope the information I provided is useful. Any insight about these issues is greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Catrina

    Again, sorry, a 'Shared' .ibooks file has the same format as what users download from the store.
    You don't need to be in the store to circulate that file. 'private' as defined depends on you. Email that file if possible and/or put it on your own server/dropbox and share the link to trusted individuals.
    If you're sending the .iba file to someone that then uses it in iBA, they need to use the 'Shared' menu to generate an .ibooks file, then drop that into iTunes and sync to their device.
