I have data in a spreadsheet which I have to upload in sql. The problem is that this data is quite crude. I need to rearrange the sheets in the excel file in terms of their relation with eachother. The first sheet has master data a colum of this sheet is to be linked to data in the other sheet. All I have is a sheet in which data is embedded. The relation between data is displayed using an expander button. Please tell me how I can rearrange this data fast? I think this can be done by running sql queries or ssis package but I'm not sure.
You can use SSIS package with multiple Source components (inside Data Flow) to access each sheet.
Once you can see both sources, you can sort all key columns using a sort component and then use a Merge Join to combine the two sets of data together

I'm trying to insert a manual column in between a Big Query generated extract columns via Connected Sheet. Basically, I already have a Google Connected Sheet which is pulling from Big Query via SQL. Whenever I try to insert a manual column in between columns generated by the query though, it automatically moves the manual column to the very end on the right or to the very end on the left. I don't want this. I want to be able to insert a manual column in between a Big Query generated column in a Google Sheet.
Is it not possible to do this? Or is there another way to be able to pull something like this off? I can't find any videos or specific documentation on if it's possible.
See below answer to questions:
Is it not possible to do this?
As per this documentation:
Direct access to BigQuery datasets and tables is still controlled within BigQuery. A user with Sheets-only access can perform analysis in the sheet and use other Sheets features, but the user will not be able to perform the following actions:
Manually refresh the BigQuery data in the sheet.
Schedule a refresh of the data in the sheet.
Hence, you cannot manually create a column when you use Connected Sheets when accessing Bigquery Data. The main function of Connected sheets in this use case is to analyze and visualize data from Bigquery, and not to manipulate data.
Is there another way to be able to pull something like this off?
Option 1: extract from Sheets the data from Bigquery
Then you can see that the Insert function is enabled. You may insert another column in this extracted sheet:
Option 2: Download the sheet as an excel file and insert column in between once downloaded:
I am working from SharePoint.
I would like to COPY AN ENTIRE Excel Sheet-A from Spreadsheet A and Paste it into another Sheet, Sheet-B on Spreadsheet B using Microsoft Power Automate.
Some important things to note:
Sheet-A does not have column names (I know).
There are no Key values or Key Columns. Just random information.
Is there a way to go about this?
Unfortunately PowerAutomate really wants you to have your information in a table if you want to move or manipulate the data and wouldn't it be so useful to have a "Duplicate Sheet" function and copy n paste of individual cells.
If your sheet with the random data happened to be in a single large table, then this may work by apply to each item when navigating the underlying table.
I wanted to get rid off one data source in Tableau, that's why instead of using 2 different data source for one dashboard, I wanted to copy all relevant fields from one data source to other. Is there any way in Tableau, by which I can copy-paste tos field from one to other data source?
In the attached screenshot, I wanted to copy the advisor sales field in data source biadvisorSalesmonth24 to bitransactionPartnerDay365:
You cannot make schema or structure changes to a table / datasource from within Tableau. If advisor sales is not in the bitransactionPartnerDay365 data source, then you will have to keep both data sources in the workbook and join them together.
Now, if you are familiar with the datasets and know the necessary table layout, you could write a custom SQL command and use that SQL command to retrieve the desired data as a single data source.
One SSIS package does the data export from 3 sources to Excel. Before exporting into excel the file, the data goes through sorting, aggregation and finally it goes before Conditional Split. I placed data viewers at every place and could see that the records are there but when the excel is exported i don't see any records.
before the export happens, previous day excel is deleted and a new excel is created from a template excel. At the end of data flow task, I see excel containing columns from template excel and no rows in it.
What is causing this issue. I have kept data viewer and I see the data as it goes by but I don't see data after the conditional split or before the conditional split happens.
Please see the pic. After the conditional split, there are 3 excel destination. One of them which you can see.
I am attempting to upload an Excel document into Access. I have used VBA to unhide all columns and rows and then delete columns and rows that are not being used. All of the worksheets upload into Access properly except one. This particular worksheet attempts to upload a field and label it Field 12. I am unable to find a way to delete this field. Any help?
It is probably the first column after your data...
Try either in VBA or in Excel deleting the columns to the right of your data (not just contents but an actual delete). I've found this typically happens when the columns to the right of your data contained data at one point and Access / Excel sees those as still containing data. Then try your import again.
Alternatively, you could upload into a new Access staging table before pulling your desired known columns into the final table through an INSERT query. Then you can delete the staging table if you like or delete it before the next import. In this way, each import can have its own "added columns".
