I have to export SQL Serverdata to Excel and edit (make a few changes) later restore it in the data in SQL Server database itself. I have tried doing this manually but can I do this task using SSIS or some other way because I have to do this several times a day.
Googled for this all that I could find was using SSIS which has ability to export/import data of 1 sheet not multiple sheets
Thanks in advance for your answers
In SSIS, in the Excel Source component, you can simply specify the sheet name. You can have multiple Excel Components, or programmatically change the sheet name inside a loop.

I was able to use SQL Server Agent to create a job that extract Data from SQL Server 2008 to Excel Format Daily. However, is there anyway to create a job that keep all the extracts separately without overwrite the previous files? I would really much appreciated your help.
Thank you.
When using OLE DB/Jet data provider for Excel, there is a way to specify the target worksheet name. A worksheet in Excel is a rough equivalent of a database table. One option is to use a different worksheet name each time (say, based on a current date). Another option would be to append the data to the existing worksheet, if that's what you're after. If SQL Server Agent job does not allow you to do something like that, then you may want to create a small app instead.
While Copying from OLEDB to Excel, You can dynamically pass the file name through the expressions based on the Datetime.
Ex: Filepath+Date1_mmddyy_hhmmss
Every time the file generates, It will create a file with new file name and Excel file should be passed as an expression.
Can I execute an Excel package worksheets with different table structure from SSIS to different tables in SSMS dynamically ?
I have an excel file with 3 worksheets. I want to process those worksheets into one database in SSMS but each to their own table. what will be the best practice processing this file? i'm new to SSIS . Thank you in advance
You could, suppose you have target set already in database. there is one properties called openrowset in the advanced properties for excel source. you could specify which sheet to be loaded as well as the columns.
For example, Sheet1$A1:Z, which will load data from sheet1 A column to Z, start from row #1 if you did not check header row as row #1
I have two result sets from my SQL query that I need to export to Excel in multiple sheets. Every resultset should be exported to a separate Excel sheet.
How can I perform this task using SSIS or a stored procedure?
I can do this using c#. but I have to do it through SSIS. I am totally new to SSIS so I need to know it from the start.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
I have got the following Problem.
I have several Excel files containing each the data of a country in one folder.
However I want to pull that all into one Excel report.
As the content of the source files change dayly, I guess the best way to do that is to do a import via an SQL Statement using Union All.
However the problem is that MSQuery only allows me to Access one file at a time. Is there a Workaround for that problem?
Maybe create a data model and use DAX?
This sounds like a job for Power Query, a free add-in from Microsoft for Excel 2010 and Excel 2013, and built into Excel 2016 as "Get and Transform" in the Data ribbon.
You can create individual queries to the different Excel files in the different folder, then create a query that appends all previous queries into one table, which can be loaded to the Excel data model or a worksheet table for further processing.
The queries can be refreshed with a click when the data has changed.
I am moving Excel data into SQL Server 2012 using the Import/Export wizard.
The Excel sheet has 377 columns, but when I am importing the file into SQL Server, only 255 columns are appearing in the table. Where are the rest of the columns?
Unfortunately this is a limitation of the ACE driver so not easy to overcome.
An easy solution that I see is to open up the Excel sheet in Excel, then save as CSV. Then use the Import wizard to import the CSV.
I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but the Import/Export wizard is actually using SSIS. In one of the last screens, you have the option to save the SSIS package (.dtsx).
To get the workaround with the names ranges to work, you'll first need to import the two ranges in two separate tables and then join them together to fill up the final table.
