Import xls file using SSIS

Hello All,
I am using Visual studio 2008 R2 and i have file which is in xls format.I tried to import the file but i am getting error like "external table is not in the expected format".I tried in different ways like use IMEX = 1 and debug property set 64bit
= false.
while importing i used 97-2003 in excel source .
My altered connection string is " Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\Computer\Mathew\MYFile.xls;Extended Properties="EXCEL 8.0;HDR=YES;IMEX = 1 ;MAXSCANROWS = 15;READONLY = FALSE";"
If i manually open the file and save as the same extension (97-2003) no issues for importing.But my file is dynamic and it picks everyday and use the data flow task to import xls from source ,getting the error which i mentioned above.
But still i am facing the same issue. Do anyone face this kind of issue before and please help me or suggest me to overcome this issue.
Thanks,
Mathew George

Hi Mathew,
The error "External table is not in the expected format" usually occurs because the format of the Excel file is not supported by the Excel driver, for example, it will occur if we try to connect to a .xlsx file using the Microsoft JET 4.0 OLE DB Provider.
Given the situation that the issue appears after you resave the Excel file as .xls, it seems the source .xls file is not the exact Excel 97-2003 format.
One possible solution is to use the Microsoft ACE 12.0 OLE DB Provider other than the Microsoft JET 4.0 OLE DB Provider. Besides, I saw that you encounterred the error "Could not find installed ISAM" when using the Microsoft ACE 12.0 OLE DB Provider.
This error may occur because of the extra space between Excel 12.0 and the following semi-colon in the Extended Properties. For example, "Excel 12.0 ;HDR=YES;" will cause this error, and we should use "Excel 12.0;HDR=YES;". Be sure to use the Excel 12.0 other
than Excel 8.0 extended property because the Excel 12.0 works with both .xls format file and .xlsx format file. Here is a screenshot for your reference:

It seems, for SSAS there is a ODBC data provider available, which you maybe could use; see

How to read 835 files using ssis

Hello Everyone,
It is possible read 835 files using ssis.
Please share your suggestions on this.
Regards,
Vaishu

Hi Vaishu,
None of the canned (standard) SSIS tasks let you do so.
But if you can buy http://www.cozyroc.com/ssis/edi-source (I am not anyhow affiliated with CozyRoc) it states it can read ERA (AKA 835) files. CozyRoc lets you run it for free in Dev.
If there will be a decision not to buy then you can simply crate a transformation out of several manipulations or by creating a custom SSIS component or some other programming methods need to be used.
PS: Again, I just know CozyRoc quality of components is awesome, but I do not make any profit from referring to it.

Merge xls files using powershell

is there any way to merge xls files using powershell ?

What does "merge" mean? Copy cells? Copy Sheets? Copy formulas? Copy Data?
"Merge"is way too vague.

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.

BID='IA   HBZAC14HBZACHRYCORP' = "HBZAC14" is the company, "HBZACHRYCORP" is company name

HBZAC14 = company
Control Totals:

Using SSIS its difficult unless you use a script task after the data flow to add the header footer bits.
A much better option in this case would be bcp as you can generate query with values in the order you want and bcp it out

Can we combine multiple excel files into one excel file using SSIS?

I have a bunch of excel files in a specified folder. I wanted to combine all the excel files into one excel file by adding additional tabs in one excel file. Can I do this using SSIS?
OR
I know using macro we can combine multiple excel files. Can we run a excel macro in SSIS? Please help me.
Actually the complete package is this:
Step1: Using FTP task I'm downloading the bunch of excel files into a folder.
Step2: Above implementation is the second step that I have to do.

You can do it in two steps
1. First get all data from excel sheets to a sql staging table. For that you need to use a looping logic as explained in below link (you dont required the additional logic used for checking file name etc in below example as you need all files). Also make
source as excel instead of flat file
http://visakhm.blogspot.in/2012/05/package-to-implement-daily-processing.html
2. Once you get the data onto a single table, use below to get it exported to multiple sheets within same excel destination file

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?

FDM Scripting Query for last imported source file using Batch Processing

Hi Experts,
I'm currently in the processing of automating the FDM load process on our version of FDM 9.3.3 using batch processing and the FDM Task Manager. Most of the process works fine including an email alert which notifies users of when a data load has taken place.
As part of that email alert I am trying to attach the source file that has been loaded in batch processing. I have managed to get an attachment using the following FDM Script Object of:
"API.MaintenanceMgr.fPartLastFile(strLoc, True, False)".
But have noticed that using this only attaches the last "manually" imported file rather than the last file imported using the batch processing.
My question is: Is it possible for someone to steer me into the right direction of either a more appropriate API or if I have missed a step in my script.
Any help as always would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Pip

Unfortunately the batch process does not work the same way as on-line. I am assuming you are using the normal batch load and not Multiload (although the batch is simisar).
the batch file name gets recorded on the tBatchContents table, and moved to the import/batches folder under the folder for the current batch run. However, if successful the file gets deleted (and from memory does not get archived). To add the import file to the e-mail, after a successful load, i think you will need to store a copy of it prior to importing the file.

Is there a way to Import EPA file using SDM?

Hi,
is there another way to import EPA files in the portal NW04S?
I do not have access to import in the system administration.
Thanks
Jean Seguin

Never tried but, i think SDM does take SDA's also. nevertheless,
import EPA into NWDS as a DC, deploy it to the server through NWDS.
snap....i am sorry, its an EPA file. EPA file can be directly imported in the server and does not require to be through SDM.
Go to Security Admin > Transport > Transport Packages > Import .... and follow the instructions there.
use client / server based on where your EPA file is located. and upload and import.

Nitin
