SSIS - Sharepoint excel as datasource

Hi !
Is there anyway to have excel located in sharepoint server to be used as datasource in SSIS?
Regards,

You have to download the Excel file locally using HTTP . For reference check
this script. Then you can use the regular Excel Source component to process the file.

Sharepoint excel web services

I am working on a sharpoint 2013 and I want to create a dashboard from sharepoint list. So I export to excel from list and upload this excel to sharepoint site. Than I create a pivot table with this data, to see dashboard on site I add web part adding dasboard
chart.
When we add new title in list, this data automatically update and I can see new data in excel sheet. But our pivot table,chart and web part dosent update automatically. We set connection every 60 min update, but it doesnt work.When we want to update web
part, it run into this error ''Unable
to refresh data for a data connection in the workbook,The following connections
failed to refresh: ThisWorkbookDataModel'
What can I do for solving this problem?
Regards
Yağmur.

I believe you need a service account to do this. There are options when you go to the data connections tab in Excel (same place where you set the 60 minute interval) where you can add your account.

Hi,
From your description, I know when you open excel document and it pops up some error message regarding refresh data for a data connection in a library within SharePoint Foundation 2010.
For Excel workbooks that contain PowerPivot data, Excel Services returns this error if it submits a connection request to a PowerPivot server and the request fails. Excel Services cannot connect to or load the PowerPivot data. You could refer to this article:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff487856.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396.
If you use Excel 2013 in your environment, you could refer to this article:
"Unable to refresh data for a data connection in the workbook" error when you interact with an Excel 2013 workbook in a SharePoint Server 2010 farm
http://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2755126
Besides, you could get something from these links:

http://www.sharemuch.com/2012/01/22/troubleshooting-powerpivot-unable-to-refresh-data-for-a-data-connection-in-the-workbook/
If above all don’t work, please check if there are more related error messages (which recorded around the time of error occurring when you open Excel file) from ULS log for help troubleshoot the issue.

Error on modifying the SharePoint excel services viewer (xlviewer.aspx) page

I am working on SharePoint 2013 and am following this
article to modify the xlviewer.aspx page in order to pass into it URL parameters. After following the instruction when I reload the new webpage (MyXLViewer.aspx) I am getting the foll. error:-

Can you please try this and replicate and let me know if you are facing the same issue..? Or whether I am doing something wrong here? Foll.
is the procedure I have followed:-
Create a copy of XLViewer.aspx which is located in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\15\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS. I named my copy MyXLViewer.aspx. you can try /14/ incase of SharePoint2010..

Hi,
The article you referenced might be applied to SharePoint 2007, however, in SharePoint 2013, the
RowsToDisplay property and
ColumnsToDisplay property are no longer supported, so these properties are not guaranteed
to work as they were in SharePoint 2007.
If you want to customize the Excel Web Access Web Part, it is recommended to take a look at the two documentations about Excel Web Access Web Part custom properties:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/sharepoint-server-help/excel-web-access-web-part-custom-properties-HA010377893.aspx

Hello Patrick,
As I have posted in my question I am interested in customizing the Excel viewer aspx page which opens up when you open an excel book via the document library in SharePoint 2013. The solution you are talking about is to modify the properties of the excel
web part and this does not answer my question.
Again, can you tell me if there is any possible way to customize the XLVIEWER.ASPX page sitting in LAYOUTS folder so that I can access certain properties like AllowInteractivity, etc? Or has this been completely discontinued by Microsoft in SharePoint 2013?
If the RowsToDisplay
property and ColumnsToDisplay
property are no longer supported, are there
any other property that this tag supports?
We have opened the xlviewer.aspx page from layouts folder and can see the foll. control:
<Ewa:ExcelWebRendererInternal id="m_excelWebRenderer" runat="server"
AllowInteractivity="false" AllowPivotSpecificOperations="false"/>
However, there is no documentation available from Microsoft or any other dev sites on this control/tag. This
link mentions that the ExcelWebRendererInternal is a totally useless instance.
I need clarification on this.
We also tried to edit the "C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\15\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\1033\ewa.strings.moss.js" file. But, any edits corrupts what is rendered on the right click of the pivot chart/table on xlviewer.aspx
page.

SharePoint List Error :[DataSource.Error] SharePoint: Request failed: The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error. (An error occurred while processing this request.)

When I connect to the SharePoint site that contains the lists I need to build my query from , Power Query enumerates the list and displays them in the tool. I can click on the system tables and view the records but any table
in the list I created returns this error.
I can connect fine with InfoPath
[DataSource.Error] SharePoint: Request failed: The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error. (An error occurred while processing this request.)
thank you for your help
Andrew

Hi Andrew. In order for us diagnose this issue, you'll need to capture some network traces using a tool such as Fiddler and share them by sending a Frown.
To capture a trace using Fiddler, start Fiddler, enable the Tools > Fiddler Options > HTTPS > Decrypt HTTPS traffic option, start the capture, reproduce your issue, then stop and save the capture. You can find more information here.
Once you've done that, please send a Frown through the Power Query ribbon and attach the traces.
Thanks,
Ehren

Hi is there any way to install 32 ACE OLE DB in 64 bit system without uninstall my other software .
I tried yesterday to instal 32 bit ACE but its told me u need to uninstall 64 bit software first :(

When using the command line, you can force the installation of the 32-bit version while the 64-bit version has already been installed.

SharePoint Excel sheet generation

Hey everyone,
I am working on creating a workflow that will take a select portion of a document library, write each item in a row on an excel sheet, and save that excel in a different library once a week. I know that SharePoint can export lists and libraries already with
the capability to refresh data, however my requirements for this workflow is that the information from the past week is preserved with out any user input.
I've borrowed the general premise of the workflow from here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/gg317441(v=office.14).aspx
However my code gives back a 'System.InvalidOperationException: Sequence contains no elements' error when I use a blank test excel sheet as the template. When I do have data or have changed something such as the background color of the cells the excel is
generated, but when attempting to open the file it is corrupted and no data is there. If I attempt no data input, then a blank sheet (which the template is) is generated fine.
Below is my code that I am using. If anyone has tips, recommendations, or helpful links please post them! Thanks for all your help!

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to export SharePoint document library data to excel every week automatically.
I suggest you create a timer job and use SharePoint Server Object Model to achieve it.
The following articles for your reference:

Using Excel as Datasource in Crystal Reports 8.5

I have never used Excel as a source for Crystal data and I am having a bit of an issue I believe. I have an Excel file on my desktop that I am using as the datasource. Eventually it will be out on a network drive. I set up all my reports as blank reports so I do that. When it brings up the Data Explorer pop up I choose ODBC ---> then Excel Files and choose the file. I then add the sheet to the report, close the data explorer window and start designing my report. I drag the fields I want on there, but when I go and preview I don't see any data at all. I have also tried it with the Report Wizard, no go there either. Is there something special I need to get the data to show up on there? Does it need to be formatted a certain way? Is it just easier to convert it over to an Access database? Any help anyone could suggest would be wonderful!
Thanks
Jami Benson

I just checked something out and I figured out what I was doing wrong myself. It would seem that I was choosing the wrong sheet. One of the sheets, sheet 1, appears twice in the list. Once with the name of the whole spreadsheet, and once as just sheet 1. I was using the one with the name. It has the headings just no data. The other has the data and headings, just no name. Once I choose it, all seems to be well. '

Need flexibility on using Excel as datasource

I found this tutorial: http://blogs.oracle.com/dataintegration/2010/03/connecting_to_microsoft_excel.html
Is it just me or there simply no flexibility if you need to predefine data area (named range) before hand? Most use cases you'd want to automate ETL, and thus data source must support varying number of entries (rows) at the very least.
Is there any work around for this?
TIA

For Excel this are the steps.
Look into this link -http://odiexperts.com/step-by-step-procedure-to-read-excel-xls
1. Create a DSN in ODBC
2. Create a connection in Data server (topology) using sun odbc-jdbc driver
3. Reverse the Excel using the selective reverse. While handling multiple sheets ODI defines them like a table (datastore) and names are populated based on sheet name say if sheet1 then Sheet1$ ,Sheet2$ and so on.
Now you can use them as Source Datasource and use it in the interface as we do with other RDBMS datastore.

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).

Mike Yin

SSIS Load Excel Data with out MS Office

Hello All,
Requirement : Load Excel Data to SQL Server Table using SSIS 2012 with out using OPENROWSET(Ad Hoc Distributed Queries)
SET UP : SQL SERVER 2012-64 Bit and Access DataBase Engine 2010 -64 Bit
Problem :: No MS Office Install
Help on this as how can this be achieved
When I use Excel as Source , I get error "MS Ace OLEDB 12.0" provider is not install on local Machine but if I take OLEDB Source and use OPENROWSET , I can see and Load data in SQL Table ..

Hi Mushtaq308,
According to your description, you want to read write Excel using SSIS without installing MS office on the target environment. In that case, missing of data access component on the machine stops working of SSIS package.
Then following any one installation on the machine can solve this issue:
2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components
Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable
Besides, for the error message that “the 'microsoft.ace.oledb.12.0' provider is not registered on the local machine”, please refer to the following thread:

SSIS Import Excel Cell Properties

I'd like to use SSIS to import MS Excel Properties - e.g. Color for each cell.
Does anyone have an example of this - values are straightforward, but cell properties are not.
Thank you,
John

Thank you - this is a great start.
The above is a great example using SSIS Script Component - and part of this concept should work. If I use it like it's written I will need about 3600 variables for a 60column by 60 row spreadsheet.
I'm wondering if I can do a loop and If clause to retrieve only those cell references- that specifically meet cell color fill criteria (ie Interior.ColorIndex=7) and put those Cell References either in an array (probably easiest) which can be parsed
later from SQL Server.
This is what I have come up with sans loop/array.
' Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services Script Component
' Write scripts using Microsoft Visual Basic 2008.
' ScriptMain is the entry point class of the script.

End Sub

Dim FileName As String
FileName = Variables.FileName
Dim oBook As Object = oExcel.Workbooks.Open(FileName)
Dim oSheet As Object = oBook.Worksheets(1)
Output0Buffer.AddRow()
' This will take too many rows.

End Sub

Is there any way to retain the formatting of text being imported from Excell as datasource?

My client has given me text formatted with italics, bold and colors. I have all the data for my app in an Excel spreadsheet. In Excel, the text formatting is preserved. However, when I import the data into my Siena app, all of the text formatting reverts
to whatever the format of the label control. Is there another type of control I can use to preserve the rich text formatting?

Hi Robingo,
Excel is strictly treated as a data source and Siena only imports the data in your tables, not the formatting.
If there is some business logic behind the formatting, you could mimic the same logic in Siena. For example, the font is bold or red if a value is in a certain range, the font is in italics if the data is for a specific customer, etc.
Thanks
Robin

Schedule Sharepoint Excel Report

Hi,
We have built one Windows Forms Application in C# to subscribe Email Excel Report. It is working fine, we are getting Email along with Excel Attachment also when we click .EXE file.
But we need to achieve the following scenario also.
Suppose, we deployed the same .EXE in two Servers. if same EXE is pushed from more than 1 Server(s) at the same time for the scheduled reports, Email should go to the concerned member(s) only one time.
Please suggest us the solution for this.
Thanks & Regards
K.V.B.Gururaaja

Hi K.V.B.Gururaaja,
To make the email sent to the concerned member(s) only one time, I recommend to modify the Windows Forms Application and record the emails have been sent to the users in the application.
We can store the records in the database, and then check those records first after clicking the .exe file.
If the emails for concerned member(s) have been sent, then avoid executing the sending email function.
As this issue is regarding to the code logic in C#, I recommend you to post your issue to Visual C#:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/home?forum=csharpgeneral.
More experts will assist you, then you will get more information relation to the code logic.
Thanks,
