How to export sql server data into multiple excel sheets ?

  • I much prefer treating this requirement as a pull rather than a push. Make each query into a view, and give your user(s) select access to the view.

    Then create a workbook, and for each tab, install a "Data/Import External Data/New Database Query" to present the results of each view. Set the query data range properties to "refresh data on file open" (and other settings as you like.)

    The advantages:

    1. It is easier to implement

    2. The user always sees the most current query results

    3. To the user, there is no visible difference between a pre-populated workbook and one that gets populated when it is opened.

    (Just warn them that changes they try to make to the data by hand will be lost.)

  • I am Balaji new to this discussion. My Code is::

    exec xp_cmdshell 'copy C:\templates\BALAJI1.xls C:\export\BALAJI1.xls'

    insert into OPENROWSET(

    'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',

    'Excel 8.0;Database=C:\export\BALAJI1.xls;;HDR=YES','SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]')

    select * from balaji1

    ERROR:: Server: Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

    Invalid object name 'BALAJI1'.

  • (Guesswork follows...)

    Does "select * from balaji1" work without the insert statement? (Is balaji1 a table/view in the SQL Server database?) Might you need to further qualify the select statement source with db name, and schema?

  • I attach the word document that contains the definition of the stored procedures USP_DMOExportToExcel that allows you to export the result set of a query on Excel.

    Call for example:

    With SQL Server authentication:

    [font="Courier New"]USP_DMOExportToExcel

    @SourceServer='ServerName',

    @SourceUID= 'UserName',

    @SourcePWD = 'Password',

    @QueryText = 'use DBTEST Select Field1, Field2 From Table1',

    @filename = 'C:\Table1.xls',

    @WorksheetName='MyTable1',

    @WorksheetIndex=1,

    @RangeName ='MyRangeTable1'[/font]

    With integrated security:

    [font="Courier New"]USP_DMOExportToExcel

    @SourceServer='ServerName',

    @QueryText = 'use DBTEST Select Field1, Field2 From Table1',

    @filename = 'C:\Table1.xls',

    @WorksheetName='MyTable1',

    @WorksheetIndex=1,

    @RangeName ='MyRangeTable1'[/font]

    I hope it is useful, I usually use it for export data.

  • BALAJI1 IS A table which would contain the records present in the excel sheet.

    Hilighted code above must be the table name that contains the data that you want to insert into the spreadsheet.

  • Hi All,

    I tried "Openrowset" but it is not working. The error is "Could not find sheet1$". I am using MS Excel 2003 and SQL Server 2005. Please any one have some ideas.

    Thanks

  • Left my mindreader hat home... please post your code. 😉

  • Hi Jeff, This is my Code.

    insert into OPENROWSET(

    'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',

    'Excel 8.0;Database=C:\Contact.xls;;HDR=YES','SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]')

    select * from testing

    My SQL Server is on different server from Excel file.

    Thanks

  • In that case, the path to the spreadsheet should probably be a UNC that the SQL server can see... the reference to C: is for the server and won't work because the path you used doesn't actually exist on the server.

    If you have DB_Mail setup, then yes.

    EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail

    @profile_name = 'EmailProfile',

    @recipients = 'you@domain.com',

    @copy_recipients = 'me@domain.com',

    @body = 'Hi Here are the results',

    @subject = 'Excel Results',

    @file_attachments = 'c:\file.xls';

  • Hi Guys,

    Its pretty simple...

    I was decided to use 5 DFT tasks in side to create multiple sheets in single excel file. I started working on it, mean while I tired to use source and target of the excel properties differently than by default.

    Here I sent dynamic sheet name, data, when I ran , all of sudden i got data populated in 10 sheets, 🙂

    this logic can apply not only for larger record count, but also for small count for e.g 10 records should goes into 10 sheets in single excel file, pages depends on the total record count / no of rows in each page.

    this can be achieved using temp tables and for loop container and one sql connection, and one excel connection.

    I have this solution, but not in my lappy, i will try to create a sample and post here, I gave you almost the outline of the solution.

    Cheers

    RB
