Do have any solution for this problem ?
You can easily do that with the SQL Spreads Excel Add-In. It allows you to use Excel to update and manage the data in any SQL Server table.
You can download a trial here.

I have two different issues
1). I am trying to export data to excel from SQL Server database. The package will create a new excel file each day and insert the data from database to excel.
I want the column name to also be updated in the excel file. One way is to use a template and insert data into it. I don't want to use any kind of template as I want to create a new excel file daily. Is there any other method available ????
2). I am trying to export data from server to excel. DATATYPE in server database is numeric. I am using a data conversion and changing to unicode string and then inserting it to excel.
value in server database= 0.000
value exported to excel= .000
help me fix it. I need 0.000 to be exported to excel
1) Yes, instead of a dataflow you can use a Script task to create the Excel file and write the data to it, and that will allow you to dynamically name the columns.
2) It is not that SSIS is exporting that value to Excel. That's just the way Excel is displaying the data.
I have an Excel spreadsheet with several rows I would like to store that data in a SQL Server table right from Excel. I mean, I would like to press a bottom in Excel (not in SQL Server) to store this table in my SQL Server database.
I have been googling but every solution I find is using SQL Server Export/Import wizard. Is there any way to do this right from Excel?
Thank you! I appreciate any help
Yes there is but it will require some development on your side. For example you can create VBA macro like the one shown in this article
Export Import Excel SQL
You could create SSIS package, but this requires running it outside of the Excel or otherwise another macro will be needed to call the SSIS jobs,
You could use PowerShell and OpenXML if the Excel documents are xlsx only.
Hope this helps
Is there a way to do a batch update on SQL Server from a row of data in Excel? We have excel documents that contain 2000+ plus rows and need to be imported in SQL Server. Is there a way to do a batch insert of these guys without calling the database over and over to insert one row at a time?
SQL Server Integrations Services offers a wizard based import which can help you easily set up a package to import an excel file. You can even save the package and schedule it to repeat the import in the future.
You have other options, as well. If you save the excel file to a comma or tab delimited text file, you can use the BULK INSERT t-sql command. See an example on the sqlteam.com forums.
Another T-SQL option is SELECT INTO. Excel is a valid OLEDB or ODBC data source from T-SQL. Here's an example.
There's also a command line import tool included with Microsoft SQL Server called BCP. Good documentation on BCP and the other options can be found on MSDN at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187042.aspx
You can create an SSIS package to read your Excel file. When you create your task, you can select a connection type of "Excel", and then it helps you create an "Excel Connection Manager". Then you can easily send the data to your SQL Server table. Here's a tutorial on how to import an Excel file into SQL Server (2005). Give it a look.
Yes! Use the import/export wizard of the SSMS! Use an Excel-source and a SQL Server destination. You can also create a SSIS-Package in the BIDS or use the BULK INSERT-statement from T-SQL, if you convert your Excel-sheets in to CSV-files.
I have generated excel file using Excel 2007 PIA's and now I want to insert data from database into excel file.I am having SQL Server 2005 database.I also want to format the data in excel file.
Guide me..
Thanks
I recommend you using NPOI to do the excel stuff. it's light-weight, and can do all the data inserting and formatting as you expected.
is there any method to get data from excel to sql ? i think that we can do without any writing C#codes. For example : select * from MyExcellFile.xls.Sheet1. Or may be any wizard in sql?
See if this page with example of using OPENDATASOURCE helps.
EDIT: Towards the bottom of the page, you will see an example of a query that uses excel as its source.
You can save your EXCEL file as CSV file, and then you can use the following site in order to TRANSFORM the CSV file into a succession of INSERT statements:

Please be careful to avoid submitting sensitive data to the site, for obvious privacy reasons.
Easiest way is via the SSIS/DTS wizard. Right click on the database in SQL Server, choose Tasks then Import Data. One of the source data options is an Excel spreadsheet. You can them import it into it's own table in SQL Server or map the columns into existing tables. This is the easiest way for a one time upload.
