I frequently receive text and excel files which I have to upload in local MS SQL Server. Is there any tool or command available that can automate this task. For Bulk upload provided by MS SQL you have to create the blank table first, I dont want to create a new table manually each time. Please help
Don't need to create a data table manually . In MS Sql server there is a function for that .
Right click on Database Name
Then go to 'Tasks' and then go to the tab 'Import Data' & click on that
you will get the data export , import wizard, Click next.
If excel file , Select data source as 'Microsoft Excel' then browse the excel file (make sure your excel file save in 97-2003 format).
if text file , Select data source as 'Flat File Source' , then browse the file .
Proceed with the wizard , you will get the data table with relevant data.

I have requirement where I need to convert text file to Excel Sheet using SSDT.
I have idea how to do like I
Step 1. have to upload data to sql server any table
and then Step 2. from Sql Server to Excel Spread sheet.
But I would like to do it in only one step that is Convert Directly from Text file to Excel Sheet without sending it to the table in Sql server using SSDT. Is there any way that I could do in one Step. Thank you in advance.
If i am understanding your question correctly, it is possible to use the import data wizard in SSMS to convert a text file to an excel file. You can save the wizard as an SSIS package also if you need to do the conversion programatically.
right click on any database in your server, hover over 'tasks' and select 'import data...'
in 'data source' drop down, select 'flat file source'. click next.
browse to the file you want to import. you can preview your flat file from here to make sure its rows and columns have been detected correctly. click next.
in 'destination' drop down, select 'microsoft excel'. browse to the destination folder and name your file. click next.
here you can rename columns and preview the end result. click next.
map your data types and determine if you want the package to fail if you encounter an error. click next.
here you can choose to save as an SSIS package or just run one time. you can now click through the rest depending on your choice to finish the sequence.

Can anyone help me out regarding A standard code for importing data from SAP SYSTEM TO EXCEL using VBA. I use SE16 transaction and a table named .I need to import data from TFACS table to excel using vba.
If you have access to SE16n you can export directly from there to csv or text file. You can also get with IT to create a nightly spool that will dump a text file into a folder and then link directly to that file with excel.
I have a problem while importing a text data file into a SQL Server 2008 database, the text file structure like this:
First Line
Second Line
Third Line
Every time I try to import the text file, it creates an error
in management studios, rightclick on database, go task --> select import data. following the wizard steps by clicking next. In choose data source, select flat file source. Click on the browse button to point to the location of the text file. Click on next, in the "choose a destination" make sure ur sql server is selected. click next again. The important part in the "select table source", if you have a table existing that you want to import to, select the table from destination. Else sql server will create a table with the same name as your text file name. Click next and finish.
