- SQL TABS IMPORT EXCEL FILE 32 BIT
I have nothing ggood to say about importing data from Microsoft Excel as Microsoft in their infinite wisdom decides for the user what the format of the data is and often gets it wrong.
SQL TABS IMPORT EXCEL FILE 32 BIT
Any suggestions?īack To Top - thank you.sorry, I've quit the 32 bit environments years ago, it just "slipped". I am having this issue and i tried few options but couldn't resolved.
SQL TABS IMPORT EXCEL FILE DRIVER
If the machine has 32bit Office installed (which is the MS recommended version), then the 64bit ACE driver can't be installed. SQL Server 64bit requires the 64bit version of the ACE driver. Sorry, I don't have the link, but I'm sure you can find it, as well as other import suggestions, with a web search.
SQL TABS IMPORT EXCEL FILE INSTALL
I do recall someone found a way to install the 64bit driver, however, it is not recommended for a production server. I am bookmarking this one for sure!īack To Top - BULK INSERT is one option. This is a very nice and informative tip! Stepping through each layer of frustration and whacking it with a great big smart-sword was a good way to present the information. The "Import flat file" option (available in the recent SSMS versions v17~) is easier than the "classic" wizard, save the Excel as. Try to do a "quick & easy" import into a staging file. 'Excel 12.0 Xml Database=C:\Users\xxxx\Documents\Forecast.xlsx ', SheetName$) īack To Top - SQL 圆4 won't allow the x86 driver to run "in process" therefore you can't use OPENROWSET. Here is the command I'm running from SSMS:įROM OPENROWSET('.12.0', OLE DB provider ".12.0" for linked server "(null)" returned message "Unspecified error".Ĭannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider ".12.0" for linked server "(null)". But when I attempt the OPENROWSET below, I am now seeing this error: I'm on Win10 64 and I beleive I've followed all the steps, I now see both the OLEDB.12.0 and OLEDB.16.0 and have run the AllowProcess for both. I'm attempting this on a test db on my local machine before trying it on the server. Hi Diana, thank you very much for these tips. It doesn't work from the web server calling the procedure OR from SSMS when I uncheck InProcess.Īny suggestion on getting past this? Tried several security options (folder permissions for the OS User running SQL) found on other posts but that hasn't helped. It works when I check "InProcess" within SSMS, but we are trying to run this from the web server, executing the SPs that read the XLSX file into a temp table. Upon splitting SQL to a 2nd machine, we can't get past the ".12.0" for linked server "(null)" reported an error. We have been using this method for years on our web server that also hosted the SQL Server. I do this on a regular basis for multiple clients. I would suggest instead checking out Doug Finke's import-excel for powershell, which, in combination with Write-SQLTableData makes it fairly easy to import excel data right into SQL Server. If you use the ACE provider on the server, especially in automated processes or processes running in parallel, you may see unexpected results.

The ACE provider (formerly the Jet provider) that connects to Excel data sources is intended for interactive client-side use. In addition, I came across the following i Microsoft Documentation: I went down this path once - however all the changes drove me bonkers. Foreach ($provider in ::GetRootEnumerator())Īdam, thanks for the blog link, I'm also using Powershell to import Excel files on a scheduled basis.
