SSIS Change data on Import from Excel to SQL Server table

I'm changing all of excel data to numbers before importing to my sql table with SSIS.
This is my original table.
Need to achive this before import to my sql table.
Is it possible to do it with SSIS?

What is the logic behind the scene?

Import Multiple Excel Into Sql Server

I have 4 Excel spreadsheets all with different formatting and column names that I want to use powershell to import into ONE Sql Server Table that I will want to create with powershell. I have found several instances of importing one workbook, but I
haven't found one where you can import multiple workbooks into the same table. Can someone show sample code for a reference on how to import multiple spreadsheets into the same table with powershell please? I found this link which looks like a
GREAT starting point, but unfortunately it is only showing how to do one table, and I am WAY new to powershell so can't tweak it on my own to set it to import multiple

Hi IndigoMontoya,
As a workaroud, how about merge mutiple excel files into one file, then import this excel file to sql table?
To merge excel files, please refer to this script:
$Files = 'd:\merge1.xlsx','d:\merge2.xlsx'
#Launch Excel, and make it do as its told (supress confirmations)
$Excel = New-Object -ComObject Excel.Application
$Excel.Visible = $True
$Excel.DisplayAlerts = $False
#Open up a new workbook
$Dest = $Excel.Workbooks.Add()
#Loop through files, opening each, selecting the Used range, and only grabbing the first 6 columns of it. Then find next available row on the destination worksheet and paste the data
ForEach($File in $Files[0..4]){
$Source = $Excel.Workbooks.Open($File,$true,$true)
If(($Dest.ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Count -eq 1) -and ([String]::IsNullOrEmpty($Dest.ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Value2))){ #If there is only 1 used cell and it is blank select A1
[void]$source.ActiveSheet.Range("A1","F$(($Source.ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows|Select -Last 1).Row)").Copy()
[void]$Dest.Activate()
[void]$Dest.ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Select()
}Else{ #If there is data go to the next empty row and select Column A
[void]$source.ActiveSheet.Range("A1","F$(($Source.ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows|Select -Last 1).Row)").Copy()
[void]$Dest.Activate()
[void]$Dest.ActiveSheet.Range("A$(($Dest.ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows|Select -last 1).row+1)").Select()
[void]$Dest.ActiveSheet.Paste()
$Source.Close()
$Dest.SaveAs("d:\merge3.xlsx",51)
$Dest.close()
$Excel.Quit()

Any way of importing from Access to SQL Server?

I have a huge store of information in Access. But now I'm required to use SQL Server.
Is there any way of importing the information from Access to SQL Server by Java programming?
Or is there a manual way of doing that?
Thank you in advance.

I need to use Java because this is for a client. I
can't expect the client to follow those steps. As a
result, I want to create something simple for the
client to convert from Access to SQL Server.
Any other way of doing that?
That argument does not make sense.
There is no way that a 'client' is going to be able to manage MS SQL Server without understanding how it works. MS SQL Server is a complex database and requires at least some dedicated support, even if it is only part time.
For example consider the following:
-MS Access does not have a log file. MS SQL Server does. How is the log file going to be sized?
-If the log file fills up (like for a run away query) MS SQL Server comes to a screeching halt. How is that problem going to be fixed?
Now maybe you are going to provide that support, which means you can run those scripts. Or the client is going to support it in which case they need to have someone who understands it - and they will need to know how to run those scripts (since it is rather basic knowledge.)

Problem with Changing Data while Import through Excel Sheet

Hi Experts,
I am new to SAP LUMIRA and I am facing an issue with it. Actually, I am importing the data for analysis from an Excel sheet into SAP LUMIRA. I am able to prepare the visualization in the first go. But If I am changing the number of columns in the excel sheet afterwards (that may occur in normal circumstances where data is dynamic) and then refreshing the LUMIRA dashboard, it fails. Please can you tell me about a possible mistake or is it really feasible when we change data afterwards and then refresh the dashboards once again.
Looking forward to your answers.
Regards,
Aman

What is the error message?
Can you confirm you are using 1.15.1?

Need to load the data from oledb source(sql server table to ) ODBC destination table. )

I have around 700,000 records that is needed to be moved from a table that exists in my sql server 2012 database table to the DB3 database table. I am using currently oledb source and ado.net as destination to do this
transfer. But its taking more than 2 hrs, I need to get this done fast, there should be a way. but I am not able to get it done faster can any one help please....
Thank you

I suspect you are talking about DB2 database. In that case I would recommend you check the commercial COZYROC
DB2 Destination component. It is 20x faster compared to the standard RBAR insertion.

Data Import from Excel - Users Logged on

Hello all,
I am new the forums and am learning SAP from a user and administrator perspective so please excuse if some of my questions seem obvious. I appreciate everyone's help very help
I have the task of setting up two new company profiles in addition to our current one.
I am at the stage of importing Item Master and Business Partner data.
1) What is the preferred method? DTW vs. Import from Excel? Is one more suitable then the other for this purpose?
2) The help file for importing via excel states "If SAP Business One is running on a network, you have ensured that other users will be logged off the system during the import." Could someone please explain:
- What are the risks of running DTW or imports while users are logged in?
- If users are logged into the live version of our company but I am testing DTW/excel imports from a TEST copy of that company are there still risks or is this okay?
- If users are logged into one database but I am performing data imports on a different company database (for example I would be the only one logged into the companies currently being set up - is this okay even though users are logged into SAP server but accessing a different company?)
Thanks very much!
Richard

Hi Kiwi,
Referring to the Rules of enagement you have to post one thread per question. Please adhere to the rules from your next post.
DTW is the very much Preferred method you have simulation to see if you record are find to be imported before importing to the DB, using DTW Import from Excel will only help importing BP and Item master data. If you have to make any updates then it will be a task again. In DTW you can save the template and keep adding data and changes can be updated from the template and re-imported
Please refer to the link below to "Differences between the Import From Excel and Data Transfer Workbench templates" the screen shots for DTW are from version before 2007A SP01 PL09.
[http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/B1/DifferencesbetweentheImportFromExcelandDataTransferWorkbenchtemplatesandwhathappenswhentheyare+interchanged.]
1. When users are logged on It can cause some inconsistency, ensure no user is logged on the live DB before performing any major DTW import
2. It will be ok if you are Test importing data to test DB on the same SQL server.

Can someone help me change the line width of my numbers table, its not set to thin or none and its stuck on .25. its a spreadsheet i imported from excel.

Can someone help me change the line width of my numbers table, its not set to thin or none and its stuck on pt25. its a spreadsheet i imported from excel.

MR,
Apparently the import wasn't a good one.
The best option at this point might be to start a new table. Insert a new Table, Copy the old table cell range, select the first cell in the new table and Edit > Paste and Match Style. This will throw out all the old formatting. A bit of work, but a nice clean start.

Data Import from Excel for Items

I have used the data import for items, in the past , to import the prices for existing item. I am using this for the first time in SAP version 9.0. There are new fields due to the additional currencies. In an running a test with two items and two price list codes, code 1 and code 10. When I run the import gets stuck in a loop and keeps giving me errors on line 1 with invalid price code.
I want to import two price lists Price List 1 and Price List 10. For example I want price list 1 to be $10.00 and price lit 10 to be $5.00
In the import from excel I have the following fields
A Item Number
B Price List Code
C Unit Price - Primary Currency
D Primary Currency
E Unit Price - Additional Currency 1
F Additional Currency 1
G Unit Price - Additional Currency 2
H Additional Currency 2
I UoM Code
J Price List Code
K Unit Price - Primary Currency
L Primary Currency
M Unit Price - Additional Currency 1
N Additional Currency 1
O Unit Price - Additional Currency 2
P Additional Currency 2
Q UoM Code
I am using the following columns
A item number
B 1
C 10.00
J 10
K 5.00
This is the way I use this function in SAP versions 2007 and 8.8
Any suggestions
Dennis

Hi Gordon,
I tried what you suggested, but does not work. I tried with two items, when I run the import SAP gets stuck in a loop displaying error lines. The only way to stop is to restrt SAP.

Import from Excel to Project - blanks cells are having dates automatically added

Hi. I'm very new to Project but have started setting up a Roadmap using it which is working fairly well so far, although have hit one snag.
I have data in Excel: it is a list of projects with 4 columns containing the dates of various stages (planning, initiate, execute, close). I have created a reusable map so this can be imported into Project and the Gantt chart to show pre-defined markers
on the timeline for each stage on each project row. All well and good so far.
However, not all of the projects in Excel have all of their dates defined. E.g. a project might not yet have a close date. But when this is imported into Project a date gets applied for it. I have no idea why!
How do i get the import into Project to allow any blank cells from Excel to remain as blank so that nothing is plotted on the Gantt chart for that particular section?

Thanks for both of your replies. I have tried this and the same issue occurs. I have checked each row in the imported Project data and they are all showing as set to 'manually selected' yet at some point in the import Project is adding data to blank cells.
I have retried using a simple test excel sheet and when this too is mapped into Project, any blank cells get populated with the date that appeared in the preceding row for some reason:
I can then go through and manually delete this cell in Project (which then replaces it with an "NA") - but if i have to manually do this whenever importing from Excel into Project then it makes it very time consuming.
Surely there must be a way for Project to not auto-populate blank cells? Or am i missing something fundamental?

Issues with importing from excel

I have been running into a several issues with importing from Excel.
First my configuration
I am running SQL Developer ver 1.5.5 Build MAIN-5969
I am on a Windows XP Professional Version 2002 with Service Pack 3
I am importing into an Oracle 10g database.
1. SQL Developer doesn't work on Excel 2007, I have to save all my files into Excel 97-2003 format before I can use them.
2. If I run into an error loading and stop the process, SQL Developer doesn't release the Excel file and I get a sharing violation if I try to save the spreadsheet without closing SQL Developer.
3. I have found that I have to set print area to the area I want to work with, otherwise the import wizard tries to keep adding rows.
4. When using the Import wizard, it keeps adding commas on fields with numerics unless I specify the column in excel as text. Currently the column is formatted as General in the spreadsheet or I can change the wizard format to say the column is an integer, but it actually is just a code field with numeric characters so it may have leading zeroes that I need to keep.
This might be related,
I have a column in excel defined as text but only contains numerics. It is of length 4, but the wizard sets a precision of 5 with a datatype of VARCHAR2. If I try to change it to 4, I get an error saying the field is not large enough. Yet, when I do a LEN on the column, it only gives me a 4. I have other fields in the same sheet that a 3 position numeric and 2 position numeric and those are fine. I am thinking this is related to the comma being inserted in a numeric field for anything greater than 3 positions.
5. Importing excel dates to oracle dates doesn't work. I have to convert the excel date column to text then import as a VARCHAR, then convert to Date once in the database.
6. The default of nullible is not set on any columns and I have to set them before the import. (I would prefer it set to nullible and I have to uncheck the box to make it not nullible. I would prefer to import all of the data and then deal with the nulls after they have been pulled in)
7. When I select header columns included it uses that as the column names. Is it possible to do the name length check then? It has bit me a few times where I try to import and forget to check the name length and then I get an error when I start running the import.
8. If one of the columns to import has all nulls, then the precision comes out to 0 and if it isn't changed an error occurs on import. Could this situation default to a precision of 1?
9. It would be nice if there was a completion message displayed and a cancel option while running.

On point 3.
I have a column in excel that consists of numbers. 4 digit numeric codes. Ex, 1111, 2345, etc
The column's format is general. It displays as just 4 numbers.
When I start the wizard initially, the column appears with data as 1,111, 2,345, etc, on the Data Preview screen.
It determines the precision to be 5 on the column definition screen.
If I change the precision to 4 then continue, that field will error out when I verify with "not big enough to hold the data in source columns"
If, I change the excel column to a TEXT column.
Excel still displays as 1111, 2345, etc
The wizard then displays the same data 1111, 2345 on the Data Previeiw screen
Yet, when I get to the column definition screen it still sizes it as a 5
If I change it to a 4, I get the same error when verifying.
If I leave them alone as 5, then it processes just fine.

Web Form Import From Excel Error

Hi all,
I've an issue regarding the import from Excel function in HFM (9.3.1) web forms.
First of all I export in Excel a form, I input data in yellow cells and then I save the file (I don't change the file extencion that remains xls).
Finally I try to import the modified form by using Import from Excel function.
Once the system finish to load shows me a windows saying that "The data have been saved to the DB" (or something similar) but when I open the web form there are no data.
I've checked carefully the POV and it's the same and I'm using an administrative user.
What can I try to do to fix this issue?? Am i doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance
Giacomo

We submitted a bug report about this in May, 2009.
Bug.7381401--- DATA'S NOT GETTING UPDATED AFTER IMPORT WDEF FROM EXCEL 2007.
After updating from 9.3.1 to 9.3.3, the issue has been resolved. I would assume the bug detail is unpublished, which is unfortunate as this info would pop up in a search of the Oracle Support KB and help out others with the same issue.

SQL Developer: import from Excel bug

SQL Developer 1.1.2.25 Build MAIN 25.79
This is a test for import from Excel.
Test table:
create table bla
(x number null,
y varchar2(1) null);
Excel data:
x y
1 a
2 b
3
SQL Deveoper generates:
Error at line 3:insert into BLA (X,Y) VALUES(3,'NULL')
IMPORT into table BLAcomplete
Inserted 2rows.
Failed to insert 1rows.
SQL Error:ORA-12899: value too large for column "BCRCEK"."BLA"."Y" (actual: 4, maximum: 1)
I think there is a bug, because there must be generated NULL without apostrophe.
insert into BLA (X,Y) VALUES(3,NULL);

Hi Barry,
   That's[b] GREAT NEWS !!!.
   So, i just update current release 1.1.2.25 to 1.1.2.25.79 ?
Thanks for the great work.
Zack
Oops !!! Am already using 1.1.2.25.79, same as bcrcek above. So need to wait for Patch Release ?
