SSIS Excel destination blank row

I have create an SSIS package in VS 2005 (because we are still in the stone age) where I have three Excel exports using the Excel Destination. One works fine but the other two have a blank first row each time (the second row of the sheet). I have reviewed
other threads but cannot seem to find a solution.
I do not have extra data in my templates. I even tried creating new ones but that didn't help. Pressing <CTRL><END> takes me the the first line where the header is.
There was one that looked promising but the selected answer referred to dead Microsoft forum link (forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2915256&SiteID=1).
Any suggestions to fix this?
Thanks for any help.

I think it may be because of some unprintable characters present at the end of the excel header row.did you try explicitly setting a range to start from 2nd row for them and see if blank row disappears

  • SSIS excel destination , data loads into header row

    I have SSIS package
    that is supposed to load data into excel destination (template file).
    The destination has first row is Title , 2nd row has headers so I do as follows, 
    Select
    * from [TemplateName$A2:$AD10000]
    But what happens is it inserts first set of data (SQL source) into second row of template which contains header names and overwrites but if I select A3 istead,
    it gives error since mapping needs column names.
    Please suggest, thanks

    you dont need to select range like this for that
    What you can do is just select property column names in first row in the excel connection manager for that

  • SSIS: Export data from ODBC source to Excel only 5000 rows at a time

    Greetings,
    Im inserting data into Excel using SSIS.
    Im getting the following exception:
    '[Excel Destination [32]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.
    An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft Office Access Database Engine" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Spreadsheet is full.".'
    I did some research using the following link:
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/excel-specifications-and-limits-HP010073849.aspx
    It states that you can populate the maximum of 1,048,576 rows by 16,384 columns
    The data i am importing into Excel is only about 100,000 rows by 5 columns
    After doing some research I am now aware that this is to much data for Excel to handle at one time.  I was advised to lower the amount of rows SSIS is exporting into Excel........How do I lower the amount of rows to 5,000 at a time is SSIS?

    Having the maxbufferrowsize
    But I have a doubt that it is related. You probably max up the allowed size for your version of Excel.

  • SSIS 2008 R2 Excel Destination Error, "An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21.", cannot export to the new Excel (.xlsx) format

    Hello.
    I've been attempting to do a very simple task that just isn't working.  For a Data Flow Task action in SSIS, I am trying to export data from a single SQL Server (2008 R2) database table to an Excel spreadsheet (.xlsx).  No matter what I do, it
    just keeps failing.  The columns in the table match the column header names (in the first row) in the tab I select.  Here is the output I get.
    SSIS package "Package.dtsx" starting.
    Information: 0x4004300A at Data Flow Task, SSIS.Pipeline: Validation phase is beginning.
    Warning: 0x80049304 at Data Flow Task, SSIS.Pipeline: Warning: Could not open global shared memory to communicate with performance DLL; data flow performance counters are not available.  To resolve, run this package as an administrator, or on the system's

    SSIS package "Package.dtsx" finished: Success.
    I kick-off the action and sometimes is hangs for a few seconds (20+ seconds) and sometimes it doesn't, but either way it fails.  I tried this on a 32-bit machine, 64-bit machine, and still it fails.  I tried an OLE DB connection to Excel and
    that doesn't work either.  I made sure that the connection string for the Excel spreadsheet is Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=[filepath\excelfile].xlsx;Extended Properties="EXCEL 12.0 XML;HDR=YES"; and still it doesn't work.  
    Now, when I switch it over to export to an Excel 2003 spreadsheet (.xls) it works!  But I don't want it to go to the old Excel spreadsheet format, my requirement is to export the data to the new format.  Is there a bug in the Access 2010 Database
    Engine that won't allow me to export to the new Excel format?  Otherwise, what can I be doing wrong?  I set the Run64BitRuntime property to False and it still doesn't work.  
    My solution (so far) is to export it to Excel 2003 and then via the Script Task action use the Excel COM API (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.dll) for 2010, open the file and save it in the new format (.xlsx) and that works great!  However, the client
    doesn't want to install Excel on the database server!  So what can I do when the Excel Destination or OLE DB Destination (to connect to Excel) actions don't work!?  Please help!!!
    Like I mentioned, if this is a bug, that would be great to know so I can stop wasting my time.  Thanks again.

    Alright, so you mean to say is that the driver is not installed.  Isn't version 12 the 2010 Access Database Engine Driver?  I did install that, and I also tried the 2007 Access DB Engine driver, and both don't work.  What driver am I missing? 
    The connection string is correctly formatted, yes?
    Also, when setting up the OLE DB Destination action and I have it point to the Excel spreadsheet, and I specify as the provider "Microsoft Office 12.0 Access Database Engine OLE DB Provider" and click on Test Connection, the connection is
    successful.  Wouldn't that mean the 12.0 version driver is installed?
    Thanks in advance.

  • 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.

  • Excel export contains a blank row for the Report Header

    Hi,
    I am getting a blank row as the first row in my SSRS report when exported to excel. I have already taken care of following things,
    1. I have hidden all of the Page Header items using Globals
    2. The position of Report Body Tablix is 0, that means there is no space between report header and Report Body.
    I have developed this Report in SSRS 2012, please let me know if any more details are required. I think even after hiding Header Items, excel creates a placeholder for page header. I can't remove header from my reports as it is needed to be published in
    pdf.
    Regards
    Mohit

    Hi Mohit,
    According to your description, you are getting a blank row as the first row in your excel report when you export the report to excel, you have hidden all the items in the Page Header by using the Globals, right?
    This blank row is for the page header, although you have hidden all the items in it, but it will still display when export report to excel. Because we can’t hidden the page Header directly. Normally, we can hidden all the items in the page Header, So in
    the design phase we can also see the blank area above the report body when preview.
    We have an alternative way by add the “SimplePageHeaders” setting in “RSReportserver.config” file, after configuration the page Header will not display in the first row of the worksheet but is rendered to the Excel page header. In Reporting Services, the
    “SimplePageHeaders” default value is “FALSE” and it indicates that the page header is rendered to the first row of the worksheet. In order to display the page header in the Header/Footer section of Excel, we need to set the “SimplePageHeaders” setting value
    to “TRUE”. I did a test on my local machine and here are my steps:
    Navigate to RSReportserver.config file: <drive:> Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportServer\RSReportserver.config.
    Backup the RSReportserver.config file before modify it, open the RSReportserver.config file with Notepad format.
    Set the Excel rendering extension code like this:
    <Render>
    <Extension Name="EXCELOPENXML" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.ExcelOpenXmlRenderer.ExcelOpenXmlRenderer,Microsoft.ReportingServices.ExcelRendering">
    <Configuration>
    <DeviceInfo>
    <SimplePageHeaders>TRUE</SimplePageHeaders>
    </DeviceInfo>
    </Configuration>
    </Extension>
    </Render>
      4.  Save the RSReportserver.config file.
    Note: Changing the rendering extension parameters only affects rendering operations on the Report Server.
    When I access to Report Manager and export the report(includes a page header) to Excel format, the blank row will disappear now.

  • Export to excel. Subreport blank rows generated.

    Dear Forum
    Hoping you can help with a query.
    I have a report that has 3 subreports all are supressed if blank and not shown during preview or print.
    When i try and export the report to excel the returning result is a series of blank rows in excel.
    I know the subreports are the root cause of the issue as when each of them is supressed my blank row count reduces accordingly.
    Is this a know issue or is there indeed a resolution.
    Thank you forum for your assisatnce as ever
    With Kind Regards

    Hi Paul,
    Sorry to be a downer but It has been my experience that the more complex a report is the more problems I have when exporting especially to excel.
    Below is a link to the export limitations of Crystal 10...I haven't found a newer version for XI or 2008.  This document doesn't give an exact explanation for each limitation but sometimes it's enough to know that there is an issue related to exporting your report.  In your case there are limitations related to exporting suppressed items to an excel spreadsheet.
    [Crystal Reports 10 - Export Limitations|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/d0b01060-3a62-2b10-73a1-d03a6c634914]
    I don't know how much data you have but my suggestion is to try exporting your report to a csv file instead because suppression is not as much a problem when exporting to that format.  CSV files can be opened directly by Excel you are just missing any nice formatting.
    If you need a nicely formatted spreadsheet, create a standalone spreadsheet formatted the way you want and either paste in the data from your exported Crystal report or link to the data in the csv file.  I have found this type of conversion takes a little longer to set up but is much easier to maintain. 
    If you do decide to export to csv format i must also suggest that the report be formatted for export (this also helps with data dumps to excel):
    1. Start rows of data at the left most margin and align any subsequent rows with this position.
    2. Make sure the next column (to the right) always starts where the last column ends.  This ensures no blank columns get inserted between your data.  Subsequent rows should have columns aligned in size and count to ensure proper layout.
    3. Make sure all objects in a row have the exact same height and use the "fit to section" command to prevent extra rows from being generated.
    4. Suppress all sections that do not contain any objects needed in your export.
    5. If your data isn't too wide (less than 256 bytes but it can be more if the printer driver used can print at a high dpi setting) consider using a formula to create each row of data i.e. properly padded for space delimited or with the commas where you want them for csv etc).  This also gives you more control on how each data type is formatted.
    Sorry to be so long winded but I hope this helps with your exporting.

  • Blank row in excel

    Hi Experts,
    while uploading an excel sheet having data from my system in a context node, i m getting a blank row in the node.
    But my requiremenet is , if there is any blank row in the excel sheet then it shuld not get into the context nodei.e while parsing my excel sheet into a node, no empty rows details must be there in node..
    provide a soln for it.
    regards,
    anand

    Hi,
    If possible pls post the code you are using to read the excel and to populate that data into node. You need to keep the condition while creating a new element to node everytime whether the row is blank or not.

  • 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.

  • Excel destination

    hi
    in my package i am using excel destination.
    i am fetching data from table and loading into excel sheet.
    now (1) i need column name different than what it is coming from table in excel sheet, also i want it to bold 
    and some color on title.is it possible?
    (2) after every row i need sum  in the last row automatically , how to do it
    (3) there is $ coming in excel sheet which i dont want, my data type in table is money.
    how to remove it

    (1)
    --> In advance you can create on Excel which has required col names and bold/font format etc and point to this excel
    (2)
    --> Inside your Data flow you will be dumping the data to Excel. If it is possible to write T-SQL or something and get that resultset which has extra row then you can achieve it. Otherwise it's not possible as SSIS has not functionality like SSRS.

  • Extra blank rows in vba spreadsheet zoom

    Here's how it happens:
    - in Excel 2003 VBA
    - two row dims
    - right row dim is fixed list of mbrs
    - left row dim is single member zoom
    - sheet has other stuff on it, so retrieve range is not entire sheet
    - top of retrieve range is in row 6
    so when I call EssVZoomIn() in this situation, the result is that there are 5 blank rows between each instance of a member in the left row dim. That is the exact number of rows above the retrieve range in this sheet, and it turns out that is the variable: if I move the retrieve range to row 7, I get 6 empty rows everywhere.
    I have tried every spreadsheet option that would appear to have any impact, no joy. I have tried using a free form mode retrieve, which works, but then I can't preserve formulas in the sheet, which I need to do.
    I can work around this, but what a silly thing to have to do, like do the zoom in a separate sheet, or remove all the empty rows after the zoom. Does anyone have any ideas about how to disable this "feature"?
    Thanks!

    Using excel connection to load data to SQL Server When I try doing this character data is loading as nulls, I have tried by putting IMEX=1 property in connection string and removing IMEX=1 property from connection string , in both cases it is showing nulls,
    in the data viewer which i have placed after Excel source. I have also tried using the OPENROWSET which for some reason does not create an adhoc connection. I also tried changing the Datatypes in the advanced editor which again throws error. I tried all possible
    ways of fixing this issue but no luck yet. Could you please help resolve this. For some reason SSIS excel connection reads only the first 8 rows and decides a datatype and rest showup NULL.

    The problem with your data is that Excel is attempting to guess the data type of the columns.  By default, the TypeGuessRows property is set to 8, which means it will sample the first eight rows.  In your data, the first eight rows are all numbers,
    so Excel interprets the entire column as numeric.  When it encounters text, it decides it can't convert text to numbers, so it provides SSIS with a NULL.
    IMEX has no effect in the above scenario (with the default TypeGuessRows value) because IMEX applies when Excel finds "mixed types" in the columns - and in your case (with eight rows) it does not.
    TypeGuessRows can be modified (as Reza suggested) but only for values from 0 to 16.  In your specific case, setting it to 16 would have an effect.  Excel would read your file, see some numeric AND text values, and decide those columns have "mixed
    types".  NOW the IMEX attribute comes into play.  If you DON'T specify IMEX=1, then Excel will choose a data type based on majority wins.  In your specific case, it would still choose numeric for column A and column B, because most of the values
    in the first 16 rows are numeric.  If you specify IMEX=1, then Excel behaves differently.  Instead of "majority wins", if multiple data types are detected, it ALWAYS picks text.
    So - in your specific case, with this specific file, increasing TypeGuessRows to 13 or more, AND using IMEX=1 will allow you to read both columns as text, and not receive NULLs.

  • Xcelsius - Blank Rows

    Hello,
    My excel sheet in Xcelsius is populated via XML on daily basis.
    Example:

    Thank you for all of your suggestions.
    This problem was actually able to be fixed by scaling the Excel formulas WAY back and relying on Xcelsius' filter rows function to do essentially the same thing - except its quicker, easier, and more efficent.
    So Net Net - if anyone else is having a similar problem, take a look at seeing if there is any way to cut out the complexity of the formulas and rely more heavily on processes within Xcelsius, not just Excel.
