generated excel from SSIS but getting quote in every column?
You could create a template Excel file in which you have specified all the column types (change to Text from General) and headers you will need. Store it in a /Template
directory and have copy it over to where you will need it from within the SSIS package.
In your SSIS package:
- Use Script Component to copy Excel Template file into directory of choice.
- Programatically change its name and store the whole filepath in a variable that will be used in your corresponding Data Flow Task.
- Use Expression Builder for your Excel Connection Manager. Set the ExcelFilePath to be retrieved from your variable.
SSIS Import CSV delimited with quotes
In the connection manager, set the Text qualifier to double quotes. This is on the General tab -> Text qualifier.
SSIS: CSV extracts opened in excel - some string values shown as date
If you open the file using "From Text/CSV" on the Data tab, it will correctly (in my limited tests) choose to set the column data type to Text. I don't see any way to use File/Open or double clicking in File Explorer and have Excel open the file as you want.
If the file is tab delimited, opening a blank worksheet, setting the column type to Text, then pasting the data in (from, e.g. Notepad) will be OK too.
I think the Data tab is the easiest way.
SSIS Excel Data Source - Is it possible to override column data types?
Yes, you can. Just go into the output column list on the Excel source and set the type for each of the columns.
To get to the input columns list right click on the Excel source, select 'Show Advanced Editor', click the tab labeled 'Input and Output Properties'.
A potentially better solution is to use the derived column component where you can actually build "new" columns for each column in Excel. This has the benefits of
- You have more control over what you convert to.
- You can put in rules that control the change (i.e. if null give me an empty string, but if there is data then give me the data as a string)
- Your data source is not tied directly to the rest of the process (i.e. you can change the source and the only place you will need to do work is in the derived column)
Adding Double Quotes and Comma around Query Results Using Derived Column in SSIS
Use the following expression
"\"" + Name + "\","
The \
works as an escape character.
How to export SSIS to Microsoft Excel without additional software?
The answer is in the question. Over time, it became a progress status. However, there is SSRS that will create Excel files if you create TABLE presentations. It works pretty well too.
