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 file with a column consisting of ID numbers (around 160k rows). I have to fetch some data related to these IDs from Snowflake. Different columns need various data tables. The tables have around 250k entries each. What is the best way to fetch the data from these tables to the excel file?
I tried loading the excel file into a pandas dataframe and then using pandas read_sql method to iterate through the IDs and fetch the corresponding data. This is extremely slow given the size of the data. Is there any practical way to approach this?
Excel File format (an example)
I understand you do not want to load the excel to Snowflake, but the Snowflake data to your excel file.
If this is correct, here are some ways of how to bring Snowflake data to an excel file:
Use COPY INTO to export the data to a CSV file in one of your internal stages and then download with GET: https://docs.snowflake.com/en/sql-reference/sql/copy-into-location.html
Connect your excel file to Snowflake via „Data > From other sources“
and the ODBC Driver
Run SELECT in Snowflake and simply download the result set with the download button
I am developing a SSIS package which is retrieving data from database and exporting it into a pre-formatted Excel file. This is not the first time I am doing this, but this time it won't work and I can't find out why..
As you can see in attached image, SSIS exports data successfully but writes it in the bad cells, I specified the value "operateur$B14:F19" in the OpenRowset property of Excel destination in SSIS though..
In addition, I am getting an error which is saying:
Cannot Expand Named Range
How can I fix this?
SSIS is not right tool set to solve this type of scenario. Use SSRS.
But any way you can try below steps.
Populate required data in table and use micro or data connection to populate excel...
I've created an SSIS package with the purpose of deleting and then recreating an Excel sheet, and then inserting data from a SQL database into that Excel sheet.
What I currenty have is:
1.) An Execute SQL task to delete 'Sheet1' from a local Excel file.
2.) An Execute SQL task to recreate 'Sheet1' in the same Excel file.
3.) A Data Flow task that uses an OLE DB Source to a 2005 SQL Server database.
4.) An Excel Destinaton (using an Excel Connection Manager) which points at / maps the SQL Server columns to the local Excel spreadsheet.
So essentially I'm deleting the Excel Sheet to remove old data, recreating it, and then trying to import the SQL data into it.
This worked well when I ran it the first time. When I try to rerun it however, all the tasks run successfully, the correct number of rows are shown to move to the Excel destination on the data flow tab, but the Excel spreadsheets are blank.
Can anyone suggest why this might be happening?
Thanks, Gavin
Is this the only sheet in your Excel file? If so, it might be easier to use the File System Task component to delete the entire file before creating your sheet (and therefore file) in your Execute SQL statement.
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.
I have a ssis package which calls stored procudere and fill data in a table say table1.
I have a excel file at shared location which already contains 2 sheets and necessary information on these sheets.I have to add another sheet in the existing excel file with the data of table1 copied into it through ssis/sql.
Please help
I would modify your existing package by adding a Data Flow after the Execute SQL Task. The Data Flow task would most likely contain an OLE DB source with a query like SELECT * FROM table1 You might need a type conversion task attached to that to make the data into unicode, can't say for certain based on the paucity of details. Wire that into an Excel Destination. I answered an earlier question on writing to hidden Excel Sheets which might provide some insight on using Excel in SSIS.
