Stuck - load the Excel file dynamically with different columns and worksheet names

I have a situation where I want to load the Excel file dynamically, and the excel file have different columns or even worksheet name. Any idea how I could
approach this? I believe there's no way to modify the meta data (specifically the mapping) in the data flow.

Hi Chimumu,
The SSIS stock adapters don't supporting dynamic column mapping, to achieve your goal, you need to use Script Task/Component to read the Excel sheet name and the columns in the worksheet, and then map to the output columns of the script component. You can
also refer to the following blogs:

Loading an Excel file into a Z-Table

Hi Gurus,
Can somebody guide me how to load an excel file into a Z-Table.

Hi,
You need to write a ABAP code for this....
The following is the code for loading data into an internal table:

How to automate the loading of excel file

Hi Guru,
As we know we can load excel file through ODI but their is some manual work we have to do each time and it will only support in Windows platform
How we can load excel file through ODI in Unix system and it should be automate so in one directory i got this file it should able to load the data automatically no manual intervention required.

On windows jdbc-odbc bridge is used to read from excel file. Since such odbc setup is available only on windows hence the restriction. If there is any type 4 jdbc driver available for excel that it would works on unix too.

For Each Loop Load Dynamic Excel Files

Hi All,
SSIS 2005
I want to load excel file .xls one at a time files that have different names without having to select the file in the connection manager, every time. So a user can easily place the excel file in the folder and right the sql job and it loads the file data.
The data flow tasks all work when I manually select the excel file, but I am unable to get this to work dynamically.
I have setup a for each loop with multiples data flow tasks and sql tasks to load my data from file.
Variables:
@filename d:\new file\*.xls
For Each Loop:
ForEachFile Enumerator
Folder: d:\new file\
Files: *.xls
Retrieve File Name: Fully Qualified
Variable Mappings:
User::filename (index 0)
Connection Managers:
Excel Connection Manager: Expressions, ConnectionString @[User::filename]
Error Message: Error at new buyer(package name) the connection string format is not valid. it must consist of one or more components of the form X=Y, seperated by semicolons.
Can anyone assist thanks.

You still need the file name variable.
ExcelFilePath is the fully qualified file name of your Excel file. ie. it contains both the path and file name.
e.g. D:\inbox\myExcelFile.xls
All the steps you mentioned are correct, except you need to set the property of ExcelFilePath of the Excel connection to the variable that you map to in the ForEach Loop:
Connection Managers:
Excel Connection Manager: Expressions, ExcelFilePath @[User::filename]
Hope this helps.

How can I load an Excel File to a pipe-delimited .csv File

In SSIS I am attempting to process a .xls File and I have a C# script that is reading the .xls File. My issue is this...I have some fields that have an embedded comma in them. Those fields are designated by a double quote though ". I have included my
C# Script. I'm just not sure if I have to indicate to it that there is a field delimeter. The " double-quote is only utilized when there is indeed an embedded comma...like "Company Name, Inc"...or "Main St., Apt. 101"
How can I read this .xls worksheet and account for the double-quotes and the embedded comma and produce a pipe-delimeted file?

I would prefer doing this using a standard data flow task component in SSIS. I will choose an Excel source and a flat file destination for this.

Preserving prefixed zeros in down load to excel file

In My application lot of character field have character zero as the starting characters. Like Company code= 0600, Property= 00390898 .
When I do a download from Internal table to excel sheet, this character fields are showing with the zeros in front like 600 & 390898. Is there any way preserve the zeros in the excel sheet ?
Also I would Like to know How can I move the character ( ' ) . If I used ''' then it gives compile error.
If I can prefix this character ( ' ) , the field's will be shown with the zeros.
Thanks for your help.
Manoranjan

Hi Manoranjan,
What is the data type you are using for the Company Code in your internal table?
You can try this way.Suppose your main internal table is itab1 where in the company code is refering the database table (T001-BUKRS).
Declare one more internal table itab2 with company code as Character data type.
Before downloading to excel move itab1 to itab2 and then try to use that itab2 for downloading. Now your excel sheet will have the numbers with zeros preceeding.
Another option is after downloading to excel, I think you can change the properties of the column through Format Cells->Number tab->Text.
Thanks,
Srinivas

Down load into excel file

Hi gurus,
             I wanna generate a report that should download the data from the internal table to the presentation server in word formart, but the length of the word file should not be greater than 156 characters as the downloaded data is sent to RBI.
Thanks and Regards,
Alson.

Hi Alson,
you can wrap the text to a length of 156 chars using the function module:-
            CALL FUNCTION 'RKD_WORD_WRAP'
for eg if u have any variable v_text which is 1000 chars long then u can give the outputlen = 100. This way u can split 1000 chars into 1000/100 = 10 rows. you can either store these lines in an internal table or it is also possible to store these as separate variables each of length 100 chars .
you can refer to the following code:-
            CALL FUNCTION 'RKD_WORD_WRAP'
                  EXPORTING
                      textline                  = v_text
                    DELIMITER                 = ' '
                      outputlen                 = 156
                  TABLES
                      out_lines                 = i_long_text
                  EXCEPTIONS
                      outputlen_too_large       = 1
                      OTHERS                    = 2.
Plz reward points if useful.

Load excel file value to graph problem(about x-axis value)

Hello,everyone,I have this problem.
When I load the excel file which I saved before,the waveform came out normally,but the x-axis of graph waveform was not shown the number I want,it shown the number based on the no.of samples.
What I want is plot the x-axis value based on the rate(pts/s).For this case,rate is 50prs/s,so after calculation...0.02s per reading.totally is 20 seconds.I tried to use XY-Graph,but didn't solve out.

is it always 0.02s per reading or did you get this figure from some calculation?? in anyway, you just connect that value (the constant 0.02 or calculated amount) to a Property Node... you link the Property Node to Waveform Graph 2... under property choose X-Scale -> Offset and Multiplier -> Multiplier...
i'm not sure if this is the best method but hope it helps... i've tried it on your code and it works...

Excel file load customization

Hello!
Using flat files format FDM 9.3.1 has a possibility to customize format or set a logic, say multiply amount on 100 or skip some lines.
But I can't see how can I do same thing using loading from excel files, becoz in this case I don't define a format anywhere, FDM just takes fields from cell range.
Is it possible?
Thank you!

Hi SSILeaner,
The maximum number of columns is limited to 255 when we importing an .xls format Excel 2003 file. This limitation doesn’t exist when we deal with .xlsx format Exce file. For an .xls file, we usually save it as a .csv file or save it as a .xlsx file through
Office 2010 and then do the ETL. Based on your description, the 200 files are all .xls files. In this condition, I don’t think there is an easy way to load the data to the database table. Maybe you can try some third party SSIS component/task.

LSMW Errors for Excel file upload

Hi all,
We've loaded an Excel file with 20,000+ records into SAP using LSMW and a background run. However, the LSMW returned errors for about 2,000 of those records and seems to have processed the other 18,000. Questions as follows:
1. Is there a way to extract the 2000 records into another Excel file?
2. If so, how can I isolate the 2000 records so that I can reload them with correct information? I do not want to have to go through each record one by one to find them.
3. How can I identify what the problem was for a record that produced an error?
Thanks in advance. Points will be awarded for helpful answers.

u have used LSMW which will normally create a Session which will be executed using SM35 in background mode...Goto the session and click on errors...the errors are been shown up..U can correct there itself or else prepare another one with correct data and do a lsmw once again.

Load table to file

I did the following to create a csv file :
1) I created a EXCEL_FILE Data Server for the FILE technology
2) I created a EXCEL_FILE Physical Schema to declare the directory where the files are stored
3) I created a EXCEL_FILE Logical Schema
4) I associated the logical and physical for a context
5) I created a model based on a File Technology and a data store
6) I try to create an interface with a table source datastore and a File target datastore. ODI maps the two datastore with the IKM SQL Control Append and when I run the interface, it fails.
==> Can anyone explain to me how to load data to a file with ODI, please?
==> Why can't I get the IKM SQL to File Append
Thanks a lot

For a csv file, define it as in the File Technology.
Then in the Data Model, define the parameters of how
it it set up (headers, separators etc)
hen you will be able to use SQL to File append.
Don't forget to use a staging area different to
target, as the file technology is not capable of
hosting the staging tables (if any)Thanks for your answer.
==>> I don't knom how to set the headers parameters.
I used another RKM and LKM to load my excel file and it worked.
