Regarding ssis - skip first 10 rows in excel source

Hi,
I have received an Excel Source file, but the first 10 rows have only company information; actual data starts from Row 11. How will you skip the first 10 rows and start reading from row 11

Hi Koteswararao,
If the first row includes the column names, and the first 10 rows you said don’t include the first row. That means you want to skip the rows from 2 row to 10 row, then we can union two Excel sources to work around this issue. For more details, please refer
to the following steps:
Set the FirstRowHasColumnName property of the Excel Connection Manager to False, so the first row stores the column names in the sheet.
Drag two Excel Sources to the Data Flow Task.
In the Excel Source, use the SQL command below to replace the former(supposing there are three columns in the Excel sheet: col1, col2 and col3):
SELECT F1 AS col1,F2 AS col2, F3 AS col3 FROM
[sheet$A1:C1]
In the Excel Source 1, please type the SQL command below (note that the ‘n’ means the number of rows in the sheet):
SELECT F1 AS col1,F2 AS col2, F3 AS col3 FROM
[sheet$A11:Cn]
Drag a Union All component to the same task, then union those two Excel Sources.
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

SSIS Excel import skip first rows

Hello,
1. Is it possible during import data from Excel to DB table skip first 6 rows for example?
2. Also Excel data divided by sections with headers. Is it possible for example to skip every 12th row?
Thank you,V. A.

1.In Excel connection you cannot remove the 1st n rows as you want.
2. Not possible.
1. YES YOU CAN. Actually, you can do this very easily if you know the number columns that will be imported from your Excel file. In your Data Flow task, you will need to set the "OpenRowset" Custom Property of your Excel Connection (right-click
your Excel connection > Properties; in the Properties window, look for OpenRowset under Custom Properties). To ignore the first 5 rows in Sheet1, and import columns A-M, you would enter the following value for OpenRowset: Sheet1$A6:M (notice,
I did not specify a row number for column M. You can enter a row number if you like, but in my case the number of rows can vary from one iteration to the next)
2. AGAIN, YES YOU CAN. You can import the data using a conditional split. You'd configure the conditional split to look for something in each row that uniquely identifies it as a header row; skip the rows that match this 'header logic'.
Another option would be to import all the rows and then remove the header rows using a SQL script in the database...like a cursor that deletes every 12th row. Or you could add an identity field with seed/increment of 1/1 and then delete all rows
with row numbers that divide perfectly by 12. Something like that...

Skipping leading rows in Excel

Hi All,
While we are loading the text file to SQL Server via SSIS, we have the provision to skip any number of leading rows from the source and load the data to SQL server. Is there any provision to do the same for Excel file.
The source Excel file for me has some description in the leading 5 rows, I want to skip it and start the data load from the row 6. Please provide your thoughts on this.

The method above works perfectly except when a worksheet name has a space (" ") in it. Does anyone have a solution as I have tried each of the following:
* [New Sheet1$]A6:Z5000
* 'New Sheet1$'A6:Z5000
* 'New Sheet1$A6:Z5000'
* [New Sheet1$A6:Z5000]
All receiving a the following error:
"Error at Stage Bulksheet Data [New Worksheet [837]]: Opening a rowset for "[New Sheet1$]A5:K65000" failed. Check that the object exists in the database."

Program Will Not Read First Row in Excel Sheet

I am having difficulty getting my program to read the first row of my excel sheet. When I use the next() method the first time it automatically starts at the second row. Here is what I have for my method that reads the data from an excel file.
package excel;
import java.sql.*;
public class Excel
     public void readexel(String filename) throws SQLException
          Connection c = null;
          Statement stmnt = null;
          try
               Class.forName( "sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver" );
               c = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls)};DBQ=" + filename);
               stmnt = c.createStatement();
               String query = "Select * from [Sheet1$]" ;
               ResultSet rs = stmnt.executeQuery( query );
               while( rs.next() )
                    System.out.print("Row #" + rs.getRow() + ": ");
                    System.out.print( rs.getInt(1) + " " );
                    System.out.print( rs.getInt(2) + " ");
                    System.out.println( rs.getInt(3) );
          catch( Exception e )
               System.err.println( e );
     }

Thats because the first row typically contains the column headers, and you don't want them read as data. Either insert a blank row, or put in column labels, and than you can get the column labels/names from the ResultSetMetaData.

Regarding ssis - Filter first 5 rows from flat file

Hi,
i have a requirement like this every day we receive 10-15 Flat files , we need to load these data into SQL Table ,here nothing is complex for this we need to use foreachloop Container,Dataflowtask..etc. here the issue is each flat file have top 5 rows has
Client information like ( We need to delete First 5 rows) and then insert into SQL Table . please suggest me how to develope the package..

You need to use a script task to read file one by one and remove the first 5 rows from the file. The file name/path can be stored as a variable and read it from the script code. Insert the script task inside the foreach loop container just before importing
the file.

Hi,
This is Application Express forum.
I think your question belongs more to SQL and PL/SQL forum. Searching from that forum I did find this

Ignore 2nd row and 4th row in Excel Sheet in SSIS Package

Hi All,
I have an SSIS package that imports an Excel sheet in which i have to ignore 2nd row and 4th row.
Please help me on this issue.

Hi ShyamReddy,
Based on my test, if second and fourth rows need to be skipped is based on some conditions, we can directly add where conditions in only one Excel Source with Edit Option. Otherwise, we can try to union three Excel sources to work around this issue. For
more details, please refer to the following steps:
Set the FirstRowHasColumnName property to False, so the first row stores the column names in the sheet.
Drag three Excel Sources to the Data Flow Task.
In the Excel Source, use the SQL command below to replace the former(supposing there are three columns in the Excel sheet: col1, col2 and col3):
SELECT F1 AS col1,F2 AS col2, F3 AS col3 FROM
[sheet$A2:C2]
In the Excel Source 1, please type the SQL command below:
SELECT F1 AS col1,F2 AS col2, F3 AS col3 FROM
[sheet$A4:C4]
In the Excel Source 2, please type the SQL command below (note that the ‘n’ means the number of rows in the sheet):
SELECT F1 AS col1,F2 AS col2, F3 AS col3 FROM
[sheet$A6:Cn]
Drag a Union All component to the same task, then union those three Excel Sources.

Gui_Download export to excel delivering only one row in excel output

Hello,
I am using Vista Os with the SAP front end logon 710 and Office 2007. Also my company is using Ecc6.0 in the server.
I am able to export the Itab data to excel but all the rows are on the first row in Excel.
If i have 3 rows in ITAB then all the 3 rows are on the First row of Excel
I have supplied these parameters
filename = 'C:\ITAB2XLS.xls'
FILETYPE = 'ASC'
WRITE_FIELD_SEPARATOR = 'X'
SHOW_TRANSFER_STATUS = 'X'
tables
data_tab = itab[]
FIELDNAMES = headingTab[]
Is anyone having the same issue like me ?
Thanks.

Hi,
I tried commenting the Field seperator but it didnt change anything. I am still having the same problem.
I am pasting my code sample.
data:begin of itab occurs 0,
grp type c,
val type i,
end of itab.
data:begin of headingTab occurs 0,
TEXT(10) type c,
end of headingTab.
itab-grp = 'A'.
itab-val = 100.
append itab.
itab-grp = 'B'.
itab-val = 200.
append itab.
headingTab-text = 'GROUP'.
append headingTab.
headingTab-text = 'VALUE'.
append headingTab.
call function 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
exporting
filename = 'C:\ITAB2XLS.xls'
FILETYPE = 'DAT'
WRITE_FIELD_SEPARATOR = 'X'
SHOW_TRANSFER_STATUS = 'X'
tables
data_tab = itab[]
FIELDNAMES = headingTab[]
I think there is some problem with the Vista / Office 2007 with SAP.
Any suggestions?

SSIS with Excel Source - Generically specify first worksheet?

I have an SSIS package that is reading an Excel source to pipe it to a table in my SQL Server database.
In the Data Flow task, I was able to rename the Name field generically, but with the Custom Properties, I have to specify the rowset name, otherwise the task blows off.
How can I generically specify, hey, do the open row set on the first sheet?

Hi J.D. Walker,
1. You can use the following method to extract data of the first Sheet of the Excel file:
2. Create a string type variable SheetName, and set its default value to the name of the first worksheet followd by $ symbol such as “Sheet1$”. The worksheet name must be valid to obtain the metadata for the OLE DB Source at design-time.
3. Use the ADO.NET Schema Rowset Enumerator of a Foreach Loop Container to get each sheet name of the Excel file, and store the value in variable SheetName by mapping the variable to Index 2.
4. Create an Int type variable Counter, and set its default value to 0.
5. Add a Script Task to the Foreach Loop Container, set the variable Counter as the ReadWriteVariables, and modify the public void Main() function as follows:
public void Main()
// TODO: Add your code here
int cnt = Convert.ToInt32(Dts.Variables["User::Count"].Value.ToString());
cnt++;
Dts.Variables["User::Count"].Value = cnt;
Dts.TaskResult = (int)ScriptResults.Success;
6. Join the Script Task the Data Flow Task, and set the Precedence Constraint as follows:
Evaluation operation: Expression:
Expression: @[User::Count]==1
7. In the Data Flow Task, add an OLE DB Source, create an OLE DB Connection Manager (Native OLE DB\Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider for XLS file, or Native OLE DB\Microsoft Office 12.0 Access Database Engine OLE DB Provider for XLSX file, and set the Extended
Property to Excel 8.0 for XLS file or Excel 12.0 for XLSX file).
8. Set the Data access mode of the OLE DB Source to “Table name or view name variable”, and set the variable to User::SheetName.
In addition, if you want to extract data from the first N worksheets, you can set the expression of the Precedence Constraint above to @[User::Count]<N+1 (replace N with the real number).

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.

Export in Excel- always first row blank

hi,
if i export in excel file always i am getting first row as blank with line. how can i eliminate this row.

Hi Kayadhu,
Generally, if we design a report and the top of report body remain extra blank space, it will result in the extra blank row after export the report to Excel. Please see the screenshot below:
In your case, please try to reduce the blank space in the report body. If the issue still persists, please post more information about your report design structure to us.

Blank Row comming out from Excel Source?

Hi,
I use an excel datasource to populate some simple dimensions, but when i extract the excel file i get alot of blank rows from the excel files...
How can i overcome this issue? Is this normal?
I never had problems like this using DTS in the 2000 version
Best Regards,
Luis Simões

Hi RJ,
You could either delete as many rows from your excel source file as needed, that is rows following your data, or even better add a conditional split component (sql server 2012) after your source component to filter only the rows with data and send
only those rows through the pipeline.
Rudolf Swiers
Another solution is to write a SQL query against the Excel source. Take one column that always needs to have a value and add
WHERE myColumn IS NOT NULL.
