How to make SSIS Read an Excel File?

I’ve been trying for a while now (won’t say how long), to get BIDS to read a very simple Excel file.
I’m talking SIMPLE!! No matter what I don, SSIS keeps throwing an error, and of course it doesn’t say what the error is, so I can’t really debug it.
I’ve tried this at least 20x with flat files, and it works perfect each time.
I’ve done Data Conversions, Sorting, Union All, and several other Transformations; all work perfect.
Trying to used Excel as a data source, is proving to be a mind numbing experience.
Of over 20 different attempts, it hasn’t worked even once.
I can make it as simple as you can possibly imagine, and SSIS, refuses to even perform the first step (I’m not even trying to create a table in SQL Server anymore).
I have the Excel file path (very simple)
I have the Excel version (very simple)
I have the Connection Manager (very simple)
I have the Sheet name (very simple)
All I can do is see a preview of the Excel sheet before the process runs. As soon as I het F5, I get an instant error, for no reason whatsoever, and no debugging options, whatsoever.
Is there some secret trick I need to know about?
I can't show a snap shot, because MSFT won't allow pictures to be loaded now.

I have this from the Output window:
SSIS package "Package.dtsx" starting.
Information: 0x4004300A at Data Flow Task, SSIS.Pipeline: Validation phase is beginning.
Error: 0xC00F9304 at Package, Connection manager "Excel Connection Manager 1": SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDB_EXCEL_NOT_SUPPORTED: The Excel Connection Manager is not supported in the 64-bit version of SSIS, as no OLE DB provider is available.

How to make my waveform from excel file perodic in labview graph

Hi guys,
Previously I've made a vi which integrates the excel file, to plot the graph values in labview using the values in the excel file to give the me a better flexibility to decide what waveform i want it to be. Can i know how to actually make the graph periodic, as in the waveform repeats, because currently it can just plot out the waveform accordingly to the values i inserted in the excel. I've attached my vi and aso my csv file together. Thanks guy.

So do you want to read the same values over again?
If that is what you wish to achieve then use waveform chart as opposed to waveform graph. I editted your code slightly so that you can see the different.
I hope this helps!

Download read only excel file

Hi Experts,
How to download a READ ONLY excel file to workstation (local Machine).

Hi kaleemullah,
Steps to create a BDC program.
1. Create an internal table with fields same as Excel sheet fields.
2. Declare an internal table with BDCDATA table to store the BDC recording.
3. Declare an internal table with BDCMSGCOL to store the error messages after
the execution of the BDC.
4. Write the code using the fun. module ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE
to upload the data from the excel sheet.
5. loop that internal table and write the Subroutines to fill the internal table
BDCDATA with the recording of a specified Transaction Code.
6. Using Call Transaction execute the BDC recording.
7. Check Sy-subrc = 0 and store the error messages in the internal table.
8. If you want you can pass those error records to a session using the SESSION method.
Here is an example of a BDC program, but this program is from a text file. Change the function module WS_UPLOAD with ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE
to upload an excel and write the program with your BDC recording. You can do recording using t-code SHDB.

Hi there, i have Q i have excel file it need to be block with password. Could you please explain how i make password protect to Excel document

Hi there,
i have Q i have excel file it need to be block with password. Could you please explain how i make password protect to Excel document
Thanks

On the File menu, click Save As.
On the Tools menu, click General Options.
Do either or both of the following:
If you want users to enter a password before they can view the workbook, type a password in the Password to open box, and then click OK.
If you want users to enter a password before they can save changes to the workbook, type a password in the Password to modify box.
NOTE   Unlike passwords you specify in the Password to open box, passwords you specify in the Password to modify box are not encrypted. These passwords are only meant to give specific users permission to modify workbook data. For optimal password security, it's best to assign both passwords. An encrypted password to access the workbook, and one to provide specific users with permission to modify its content. IMPORTANT   Use strong passwords that combine uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Weak passwords don't mix these elements. Strong password: Y6dh!et5. Weak password: House27. Use a strong password that you can remember so that you don't have to write it down.
If you want to use a different encryption type, click Advanced, click the type you want in the Choose an encryption type list, and then click OK.
If needed, specify the number of characters you want in the Choose a key length box.
NOTE   Document property encryption is enabled by default for most encryption types and providers. It prevents unauthorized users from viewing summary and custom file properties (such as the author or any custom file information) in theProperties dialog box. When users right-click the password-protected file, and then click Properties, information won't be available on the Summary tab and Customtab. Authorized users, however, can open the file and view all file properties (Filemenu, Properties command). To disable document property encryption, clear theEncrypt document properties check box.
Click OK.
When prompted, retype your passwords to confirm them.
Click Save.
If prompted, click Yes to replace the existing workbook.
NOTE   You can also secure a workbook with a password on the Security tab of the Options dialog box (Tools menu, Options command).

How can one read a Excel File and Upload into Table using Pl/SQL Code.

How can one read a Excel File and Upload into Table using Pl/SQL Code.
1. Excel File is on My PC.
2. And I want to write a Stored Procedure or Package to do that.
3. DataBase is on Other Server. Client-Server Environment.
4. I am Using Toad or PlSql developer tool.

If you would like to create a package/procedure in order to solve this problem consider using the UTL_FILE in built package, here are a few steps to get you going:
1. Get your DBA to create directory object in oracle using the following command:
create directory TEST_DIR as ‘directory_path’;
Note: This directory is on the server.
2. Grant read,write on directory directory_object_name to username;
You can find out the directory_object_name value from dba_directories view if you are using the system user account.
3. Logon as the user as mentioned above.
Sample code read plain text file code, you can modify this code to suit your need (i.e. read a csv file)
function getData(p_filename in varchar2,
p_filepath in varchar2
) RETURN VARCHAR2 is
input_file utl_file.file_type;
--declare a buffer to read text data
input_buffer varchar2(4000);
begin
--using the UTL_FILE in built package
input_file := utl_file.fopen(p_filepath, p_filename, 'R');
utl_file.get_line(input_file, input_buffer);
--debug
--dbms_output.put_line(input_buffer);
utl_file.fclose(input_file);
--return data
return input_buffer;
end;
Hope this helps.

How to retrieve data from a read-only Excel file

How to make iTunes read the song's name/singer from the file's name itself?

Hi everyone,
So I have this file with songs from everywhere. I spent quite some time now to make sure that the structure of each file's name is as such : "Singer - Song name", hoping that everything would be read by iTunes accordingly. However, either iTunes read it well, or it didn't read it at all ("Singer - Song name" appearing in Title alone), or iTunes read the "media" of the file (ie. what the guy I downloaded it from wrote for it in the Preferences, which usually is in capital letters or with a bunch of weird underscores). As I'm OCD and need everything to be neat, I'm highly tensed right now. I really want everything to be neat and clear!
So, how do I make sure that iTunes reads the files' names such that it knows the structure is "Singer - Song name"? Thanks.

iTunes doesn't use file names to determine how music appears in your library, Rather, it uses metadata that is split between:
data elements that are embedded within the media files
data elements that are included in the entries in the iTunes database
No amount of reorganization, renaming or other manipulation at the file level will make any difference to how songs will appear in iTunes. Using your example:
the value of the track number element is 1
the value of the artist element is "Elvis Presley"
the value of the song name element is "Blue Suede Shoes"
Depending on how you configure iTunes then the file name is either:
completely independent of iTunes (i.,e., the file containing this song could be xyz.mp3)
dependent on the metadata managed by iTunes, (i.e., when you have these two options set:
then iTunes will set the file name to be 1-01 Blue Suede Shoes.mp3 where:
the file is in a folder called "Elvis Presley" (the name of the album)
that folder is in one called "Elvis Presley" (the name of the artist) which is in iTunes Media\Music
Going back to your question "How to make iTunes read the song's name/singer from the file's name" the answer is simple - you can't, as this is not how iTunes works. There are some third-party utilities that you can use to set some metadata element values based on parsing of file names which might be a useful first step. However, to use iTunes effectively you should really forget about / ignore file names - manage your media using appropriate metadata and allow iTunes to look after file names behind the scenes.

How to make restoration of corrupted excel 2007 file?

Hi there,
When I open an excel file the following error message is displayed: “The file may be corrupted, located on a server that is not responding, or read only”.
Since this happened whenever I open any excel file, the above error message is again displayed, I must also mention that I am sure my files are not read-only and the files are stored on my hard disk and I use VM ware and my OS is windows server!
How can I solve this problem?

You may copy the file to another computer with Excel installed, and open it. If the error still exist, then your file is corrupt. Otherwise, there may be some problems with your Excel in the original computer and you need to uninstall/reinstall Excel.
If the file is corrupt, then you can try several methods to recover it:
1. First of all, you can try to repair the file manually in Excel, as follows:
(1) On the File menu, click Open.
(2) In the Open dialog box, select the file you want to open, and click the arrow next to the Open button.
(3) Click Open and Repair, and then choose which method you want to use to recover your workbook.
You may find more information about this at:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ex...001034656.aspx (for Excel 2003)
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ex...017.aspx?CTT=1 (for Excel 2007)
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ex...840.aspx?CTT=1 (for Excel 2010)
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ex...554.aspx?CTT=1 (for Excel 2013)
2. If method 1 fails, there are still several methods to recover your Excel file manually with Excel, including writing a small VBA macro, as below
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ex...#_Toc337637262
3. Third, there are also free tools from third-parties that can open and read Microsoft Excel files, for example,
3.1 OpenOffice at http://www.openoffice.org. This is a very famous open source project that is designed to support Office file formats, including Excel files. The software can run under Windows.
3.2 KingSoft Spreadsheets at
http://www.kingsoftstore.com/office/free-excel. This is a free Windows tool that can open Excel files.
3.3 Google Drive at https://drive.google.com/ also support to load Excel files.
Sometimes when Excel fails to open your file, these tools may be able to open it successfully. If that is the case, then after the Excel file is opened, you can just save it as a new file which will be error-free.
4. For xlsx files, they are actually a group of files compressed in Zip file format. Therefore, sometimes, if the corruption is only caused by the Zip file, then you can use Zip repair tools such as WinRAR at
http://www.rarlab.com to repair the file, as follows:
4.1 Assuming the corrupt Excel file is a.xlsx, then you need to rename it to a.zip
4.2 Start WinRAR, go to "Tools > Repair Archive" to repair a.zip and generated a fixed file a_fixed.zip.
4.3 Rename a_fixed.zip back to a_fixed.xlsx
4.4 Using Excel to open a_fixed.xlsx.
There may still be some warnings when opening the fixed file in Excel, just let ignore it and Excel will try to open and repair the fixed file. If the file can be opened successfully, then you can just save the contents into another error-free file.
5. If all above methods do not work, then you may try third-party tools such as DataNumen Excel Repair at
http://www.datanumen.com/excel-repair/
I have used it to recover some Excel files successfully. It provides a free demo version so that you can try to see if the data you want can be recovered or not.
Good luck!

<%@ page contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel" %>

     //String dLoadFile = (String)request.getParameter("jspname1");
     String dLoadFile = "c:/purge_trns_nav.xls" ;

          int i = 0;
          try {
                    while (bit >= 0) {
                    bit = in.read();

} catch (IOException ioe) { ioe.printStackTrace(System.out); }
          out.flush();
out.close();
in.close();

If you want to copy files as fast as possible, without processing them (as the DOS "copy" or the Unix "cp" command), you can try the java.nio.channels package.
import java.nio.*;
import java.nio.channels.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
class Kopy {
     * @param args [0] = source filename
     *        args [1] = destination filename
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        if (args.length != 2) {
            System.err.println ("Syntax: java -cp . Kopy source destination");
            System.exit(1);
        File in = new File(args[0]);
        long fileLength = in.length();
        long t = System.currentTimeMillis();
        FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream (in);
        FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream (args[1]);
        FileChannel fci = fis.getChannel();
        FileChannel fco = fos.getChannel();
        fco.transferFrom(fci, 0, fileLength);
        fis.close();
        fos.close();
        t = System.currentTimeMillis() - t;
        NumberFormat nf = new DecimalFormat("#,##0.00");
        System.out.print (nf.format(fileLength/1024.0) + "kB copied");
        if (t > 0) {
            System.out.println (" in " + t + "ms: " + nf.format(fileLength / 1.024 / t) + " kB/s");
}
