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 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
I'm using SQL Server 2008 and Excel 2013. I have a query to return count, and now I'm looking to export the results to an Excel sheet that is already created and put the results in a specific cell. Can we do that?
Thanks
It's a bit of a loaded question for an exact answer, but yes it is possible.
You don't really export from SQL. Instead you connect your workbook to SQL and pull data into a worksheet. This doesn't have to be your main worksheet. You can pull into a "staging area" and then manipulate however you need to.
Here is a good starting point: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Connect-a-SQL-Server-database-to-your-workbook-22c39d8d-5b60-4d7e-9d4b-ce6680d43bad
What's the correct way of exporting data from Excel 2013 file to SQL Server database? The data from the Excel file should be transferred into SQL when saving excel file to a database.
I know many answers for this are available but my question is bit different: every time the excel data changes, or the user clicks on save button the data in the database also needs to be updated.
The easiest way to do this is with an SSIS package. SSIS (SQL Server Integration Services) is a package built in to SQL which allows transformations between data formats.
You can create a package by right-clicking on your target database in SQL Server Management Studio and selecting Tasks > Import Data. In the wizard that comes up asking for a data source choose "Microsoft Excel" from the top drop-down labelled as Data Source, then follow the wizard through. You'll have the choice of importing the Excel data into a new table or mapping it into an existing table.
If you want do this programmatically, you can save your package at the end of the wizard and then invoke it via code. But that's a different question.
What you want is not possible (as long as I know off). You can use SSIS package to migrate the Excel sheet into SQL Server, but is imposible to determine if someone "click save" or do some changes on the excel file. SSIS package can be programed to run on schedule or by demand. You should investigate SSIS packages. It is not easy to learn, but do what you need.
Maybe you would like to try a tool I have developed? It's an Excel Add-In that exports Excel data to SQL Server.
There is a feature to automatically export the data to SQL Server every time you press the save button in Excel. If you need to update the database every time a cell value change, you will need to add a few lines of VBA-code that will push the data to SQL Server.

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.
