Is it possible to link an Excel sheet to a SQL Server database? I want to be able to join the Excel columns to the tables in SQL Server and run queries. I can find plenty of examples to link the tables from SQL Server to Excel, but I want the other way around.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
Use SQL Server Import and Export Wizard.
Set your worksheet as a Data Source
Excel file path
Specify the path and file name for the spreadsheet
from which to import the data. For example, C:\MyData.xlsx or
\Sales\Database\Northwind.xlsx. Or, click Browse.
Browse
Locate the spreadsheet by using the Open dialog box.
Excel version Select the version of Excel that is used by the source
workbook.

Is there any way to write here some code to export table from my select in excel...
I am not aware of any way to write a query in SSMS and then export the results to excel, but you can connect an excel sheet to SQL Server and run queries into an data table from there using the From Other Sources - From SQL Server menu in the Data tab on the ribbon:
This is good if you want to build on that data within Excel and you need to refresh the data but don't want to update your formulas. There are obviously security implications with this as users of the Worksheet may be able to access other data on your server.
If you want to simply export an Excel file with data in to a file store, you would need to use SSRS and a report subscription. Alternatively, if you simply want to save the results of your query to a file, you can either copy and paste manually or choose to Save Your Results To Text in SSMS:
from your excel sheet you can create a dynamic connection between a SQL Server database and your Excel workbook.
Follow the steps in below link.

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
I am trying to import a .csv files into my sql Database that has been created on the SQL server 2014. The problem is that my csv tables have different names from the tables that I have create in my own Database. I cannot change the names on the csv files or the names on my database. They have to stay as they are. Can import the csv files into each table on my database without having an error? please help me out, i'm confused.
Use the import export wizard that is packaged with SQL Server, you can set the data source to a flat file such as CSV. It has a built in mapping option as below
I assume you are using import wizard, but once you pick data source and data destination, go to option "edit Mappings", there you can check which columns goes where, just make sure that columns are the same type
Yes, Steps:
Select the database
Right Click and Select the task and click on export
Select the source database and click next and select the CSV database as destination
click next and do the mapping of Source and destination columns
Click next to Finish
Now data will be imported to the database on appropriate columns
First I will explain what is my requirement and then I will explain what I have done so far and what are all the helps I need...
I have to export data from sql server to excel sheet. The excel sheet will be like a standard template. If I run my project, the data from SQL Server should be inserted into a new excel file which should use that template and it should be created and saved into a new location. Also, generally we will use first row as header. But in my requirement, the template will have two or three rows header. So, the data should be inserted automatically from the third/fourth empty row.
I have done exporting data from sql server database to normal excel sheet with first row as header. I have also done exporting data from different tables into different sheets of the same excel file.
Any body please help out for the template format, creation of new excel file while running project and two or three rows as header.
I am using SQL Server 2005 and Visual Studio 2005.
Please help out...Thanks in advance...
If your export is to Excel 2007 or 2010 can you use EPPLUS to handle the Excel-files.
You can solve this using SSRS.
Create your report how it has to look like.
Then deploy it on a reporting server web.
Then create a subscription where you export the report to a excel file. You can setup location and time it has to run.
THe report can look like however you need it.
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.
