Script to export data frmo SQL Server 2014 to xls file

Hi All:
I want to export data form a table in SQl Server 2014 to an xls file.
Currently I have a working script for SQL Server 2005 in the below lines, but the same script doesnot work for SQL Server 2014.
set @outFileName='D:\Folder1\File1.xls'
SET @QueryString = 'INSERT INTO OPENROWSET( ''Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'', ' + @outFileName +
',''select * ' + 'from [Sheet1$A1:IV65000]'') select * from Table1 ' --order by CreatedDate'
EXEC ( @QueryString )                  .
I have checked on the web but didnot get a good answer. Please share with me if any one has a working script for SQL Server 2014.
Thanks... Happy Diwali.. :)

Ok, I have downloaded the exe from the above link.
As I have to install this on a production environment, I want to be sure of certain things ...
Say I have installed the Provider, what would be the syntax for exporting the data from sql server 2014 to xls.
It would certainly not be the same ... i feel.. please let me know.
Thanks
Yes
provider connection string would be different
like
INSERT INTO OPENROWSET("Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0", "Excel 12.0;Database=<full file name>.xlsx;HDR=YES", "SELECT * FROM [SheetName$]")
SELECT ..
FROM table

Error while exporting data from sql server to excel

Hi,
I am trying to export data from sql server to excel.
The query that I used is s follows
INSERT INTO OPENROWSET( 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'Excel 8.0;Database=C:\Folder1\abc.xls','select * from [Sheet1$A1:IV65000]')
select
column1,column2.... from Table1
I get the following error message while doing so..
String or binary data would be truncated.
The statement has been terminated.
One of the column's holds data more than 225 characters.
What is the way to correct this, i want the whole data of the colum in the excel sheet.

I haven't had great luck with the INSERT INTO OPENROWSET method. Can you try one of the many samples from one of these 3 links?

SQL Server 2014 Express extract file parameter?

I am working to bundle SQL Server 2014 Express with an application. I am using the following command line to install via an InstallShield prerequisite: /qs /INSTANCENAME=MYINSTANCE /ACTION="Install" /FEATURES=SQLEngine,Conn,SSMS
/SECURITYMODE=SQL /SAPWD="Password" /TCPENABLED=1 /SQLSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS
The installer I am using is SQLEXPRWT_x86_ENU.exe.
When the installer starts up their is a dialog named: Choose Directory for Extract Files. In earlier versions of SQL Server Express this dialog did not require the user to press Ok to continue. Since it takes several minutes to install
SQL Server Express I prefer to show the installation to the user, so they can see that something is taking place. The /q (Quiet) parameter will suppress this dialog, but nothing is seen for several minutes. Note: the Installer documentation
does state that: The /QS switch only shows progress, does not accept any input, and displays no error messages if encountered. The /QS parameter is only supported when /Action=install is specified. Consequently, I believe the /QS parameter
should not be requiring input.
All that for these questions:
1) Is there away to suppress this dialog while still using the /qs (Quiet Simple) parameter.
2) Is there a parameter to tell the installer to extract the files to a specified location?
Thanks,
Les

Hi,
After you download the installation package of SQL Server Express 2014, and extracts it to the specified location, the dialog of “Choose Directory for Extract Files” will appear when you install the SQL Server Express. Usually, we need to use the following
steps to extract the setup files to a temporary location.
1.In the Command Prompt window type %USERPROFILE%\Downloads\ SQLEXPRWT_x86_ENU.exe /x
2.When prompted to Choose Directory For Extracted Files type C:\SQLEXPR and click OK to extract the files.
Or suppress the dialog to extract the right location in SQL Server Express 2008 or other lower version. Such as
c:\temp>SQLEXPRWT_x64_ENU.exe /extract: "c:\temp".
However, in SQL Server Express 2014, I do a test, we could not suppress the dialog or use the parameters directly to extract in command line. For more information about
installing SQL Server 2014 from the Command Prompt, you can review the following article.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144259.aspx
If necessary, personally, I recommend you can provide Microsoft a feature request at
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer so that we can try to modify and expand the product features based on your needs.

How Can I Make This Sql Query To Load Data Correctly (sql server 2014)?

Hi guys
I have a datagridview where the third column is a custom column with all days
of a month. It takes data with a query who distinct the column Improve.
SELECT Improve,Price,Active,Idate FROM (SELECT Improve,Price,Active,Idate, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY Improve ORDER BY Improve) AS rn FROM tblImprove) tmp WHERE rn = 1
And here is the result :
http://i60.tinypic.com/28gwf83.jpg
The column Active value is 1.
The problem is that column Active values are missing (red values in image).
How can i fix that ?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Maybe you can try below code, I have changed the order by of the row_number(). Therefore it will sort on the date, and you will get the first date icm with improve cell. If this is not what you are looking for, please explain what the output should be.
SELECT Improve,Price,Active,Idate
FROM
SELECT Improve,Price,Active,Idate, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY Improve ORDER BY ldate) AS rn
FROM tblImprove
) tmp WHERE rn = 1

Export to Excel Error in SQL Server 2014 Report Builder/Viewer

Hi,
I am using the 2014 version of ReportViewer in a WinForm to display an RDL report.
The report was originally created in Report Builder 2.0 (SQL 2008 R2), but has since been edited in Report Builder 3.0 (SQL 2014).
The report loads and displays OK, and even exports to Word and PDF. But when exporting to Excel and then opening the Excel document, the following error occurs:
"We found a problem with some content in <filename>. Do you want us to try and recover as much as we can? If you trust the source of this workbook, click Yes."
If you click Yes, then a second message appears:
"Removed Part: /xl/styles.xml part. (Styles)
Repaired Records: Cell information from /xl/worksheets/sheet1.xml part"
The Excel document then opens, and the data is there, but there is no formatting (no border columns, colours, bolds etc.)
The three interesting things are:
- When exported from SQL 2008 R2 Report Builder 3.0, which exports to .xsl instead of .xslx, it works
- A brand new report created in 2014 Report Builder 3.0 exports to .xslx great
- In Report Builder 2014, I stripped everything back and removed all rows and columns so the original table in the report only has one empty row and column it the export still errors - it is only by removing the original table and creating a brand new table
that export works OK
It appears to be a problem with the tablix, but ideally we don't want to have to recreate our reports from scratch to fix this issue.
Has anyone come across an issue like this before, and know of any potential resolutions to it?
Thank you.

Hello,
Based on your description, you render a report originally created in Report Builder 2.0 (SQL 2008 R2) and export the report to excel with format of Excel 2007-2010.
Edit the report in Report Builder will not upgrader the report. In that case the report still with SSRS 2008 R2 RDL schema. Please try to upgrade the report by open the report in Report Designer in SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) and then try again.
If you don’t want to upgrade the report, please try to export the report
with Excel 2003 rendering extension and check if the issue persists.
The SQL Server 2014 and SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services Excel rendering extension renders a report to the native format of Microsoft Excel 2007-2010 with .xlsx as file extension. Only the Excel rendering extension is available by default.
You must update the Reporting Services configuration files to make the Excel 2003 rendering extension available.
For example, changing the value of Visible to
true in the following line in the RSReportServer.config:
<Extension Name="EXCEL" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.ExcelRenderer.ExcelRenderer,Microsoft.ReportingServices.ExcelRendering"
Visible="true"/>

Hi SQLDBA321,
The SSDT-BI is automatically installed under xxx:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\. Now matter in GUI or command line, we can't change the path. Because SSDT is a feature of SQL Server, not a feature of Visual Studio. It just use the Visual
Studio Shell. So SSDT will only be installed with SQL Server.

SQL Server 2014 Reporting Services export to Excel

Hello,
We recently upgraded to SQL Server 2014 from 2008 R2.
In SSRS With the new version of SQL Server we are having an issue with the Cell Border Expression logic when exporting to Excel.
This Cell is a Grouped By Column on the Staff ID
Here is the expression for the Cell Border
BorderStyle:
=IIF(Fields!StaffParttime.Value = "Y", "Solid","None")
The report renders correctly however when exporting the report the Border is not correct in the spreadsheet.
Example: Cell 1 Parttime = "N" there is no border, Cell 2 Parttime = "Y" there is a border, Cell 3 Parttime = "N" there is a border
Cell 3 should not have a border, also the subsequent sheets all have borders when they should not. Once the border is set it does not change.
Has anyone had this same/similar problem and if so what was your resolution?
Thanks

Hi Jrod T,
Based on your description, you are experiencing an issue with the Cell Border Expression logic when exporting the report to Excel, you can’t see the expression added for the Border Style (=IIF(Fields!StaffParttime.Value = "Y", "Solid","None")
) work fine in the recently upgraded SQL Server 2014, right?
I have tested it on my local environment in both the early version and the later version and reproduced the issue in SQL Server 2014.
The issue due to in the earlier versions of Reporting Services (2005), there was limited support for translating expressions in RDL to Microsoft Excel formulas. But in the newly version, when you export a report to Excel, RDL expressions will not translated
to Excel formulas, So in the version 2014 the expression will not work.

Beginner installing SQL Server 2014 for Excel Data Mining

Hello, I'm a complete beginner with servers but Im desperately trying to gain access to the SQL server for use with the data mining addin for excel.
Could someone please help. When I try to make a connection in Excel by choosing DATA MINING> <No Connection> New> it then asks me for a Server Name in the connect to Analysis Services box. How can I find out what my Sever name is please? I have
tried all sorts of names that I have found such as SQLEXPRESS or localhost but nothing works. It also tells me to 'Ensure that the Server is running'. Another error message I receive: No connection can be
made because 'the target machine actively refused it'.
I would be really grateful for some troubleshooting tips.
Thank you

Data Streaming Destination in SQL Server 2014?

I would like to publish a SSIS package as a SQL view. I'm working with SQL Server 2014 Developer edition, and
SSDT-BI for Visual Studio 2013.
The instructions for SQL Server 2012 are here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn600376(v=sql.110).aspx
The steps include downloading and installing the
Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Integration Services Data Feed Publishing Components.
I'm not able to find a similar package for SQL Server 2014. I've tried all kinds of maneuvers (installing the SSIS 2012 and SSDT-BI for VS2012 components, attempting to upgrade SSIS 2012 packages with the Data Streaming Destination to SSIS 2014,
etc.), but I've not found any way to be able to use a Data Streaming Destination in SSDT-BI for VS2013 targeting SSIS 2014. Am I missing something?

It seems not be supported in BIDS 2013.

SQL Server 2014 Official Final Version ---- Data Tools (SSIS, BIDS, etc.)

I have VS 2013 Professional, and just installed SQL Server 2014 Developer version. Can someone tell me where the proper location for the Data Tools (fka BIDS) is located ? I'm seeing CPT1, etc. but looking for the truly released version.
THank you,

Hi,
SSDT-BI installs the Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools Business Intelligence project templates for Analysis Services, Integration Services, and Reporting Services. SSDT does not contain those BI project templates.
SQL Server Data Tools for SQL Server 2014 is available declares that there is a update for Visual Studio 2012 and 2013 has been pushed
which makes SQL Server Data Tools fully compatible with SQL Server 2014.
As I understand, what you need is SSDT-BI and checking updates would not do much help.
Per http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42313, Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013 has been removed from the Download
Center since April 11.
SSDT-BI has been temporarily removed to deal with side by side issues with SSDT-SQL.
Please be patient and wait it to be reposted. However, I cannot guarantee when it may be released. Sorry for the inconvenience you have experienced and thank you for your understanding and continued support.
Thanks.
