Import From Excel To SQL Server AND Auto. Update Specific Cells?
Dec 5, 2010
So, I am already able to successfully import an excel file to sql server through my vb application BUT I want to automatically change a value in a certain column to another. To expand on this, my excel file has a column that lists test titles such as "WCOB 1120 Access Test". I want to have each specific test title changed to a number. So, "WCOB 1120 Access Test" would need to be changed to '1' before it is added into my database.

Dim ExcelConnection As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source='" [code].....
My main goal is to have an excel spreadsheet that automatically plots the overall success of my stock portfolio over time (% change over time). I've been able to incorporate stock data into my spreadsheet by linking it to the web, but the trouble is the spreadsheet will keep no history of what the previous stock values were, so I can't graph how things change over time. This sounds like it might be too complicated to be built in to excel, so I was wondering if anyone knew how to program this in Visual Basic. Maybe something like this.... If refresh then new cell plus new time stamp. Another possibility would be to have a whole bunch of cells that refresh only once but at longer and longer intervals, e.g.,
I created this code to export from DGV to Excel and it worked with me. I tried to print the data from DGV to specific cells in worksheet but I don't know.
G'day all, I've been on google for far too long trying to figure this out, so hopefully somebody can point me in the right direction. I'm trying to write a program that will open an Excel spreadsheet and read data from specific cells while preserving datatypes, so that I can write the data to an XML file. The basic functions I need to perform reduce to:
I'm developing a program that handles money, and there is a pre-made excel spreadsheet that I am to be transfering data into specific cells. How can I go about telling my program to write specifc data into specific cell numer in excel? Also, how can I get my program to write into specific areas of a MS Word Template (my program will generate letter with the same template just different names/addresses/valus)?

Everything seems to imports ok until i look at the data in more detail, this is when I notice its imported the data but in the wrong order.
for some reason when I look at the db table all records are in the wrong order, and strangely enough it seems to be a different order every time I import things.
Is there a way to force the routine to import the data in the same order as the it is in the excel file?, because at the minute it seems to have a mind of its own[code]...
Does anyone know how to import exel data into sql server using vb.net? I want to create a openfiledialog and allow user to choose which exel file to be imported into the server.
I've been trying to write code to import Excel files into a SQL Table using the following code (url...) with little success.
This is a VB.Net app using Visual Studios 2008 with SQL Server 2008 on a Vista Ultimate 64 machine.
The runtime error encountered is: "COMException was unhandled...Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done."[code]...
Why are there no examples that I can find on how to import an excel range into SQL Server, there are plenty of example on how to import the whole spreadsheet but none for the range? I find this wierd.
What I need to do is import an excel named range into a sql table using vb.net. I have been able to import the range from excel to access but not to sql server. I used the many examples that are on the web using OLEDB for the connection part and ODBC for the command. However I continually get the cannot find and installable ISAM. I have excel 2003 and Excel 2007 on the box.
I know this can be done using SQL Server SSIS package, which I have used before, however you have to install certian SQL Server features on the box that is running the application for this to work. I want my application to be able to run on any box that it is installed on without the need for the SQL Server features to be installed.
I am trying to do something fairly simple.. allow my user to import thier data from Excel into SQL Server, where it can be used by the application.To do this, I'm using the fairly simple code that is common everywhere I look:
Now, on my development computer this code works perfectly. The data imports, and I can go on my merry way.
On the TEST computer, this code throws the error: "ODBC -- Connection to {SQL Server} servernamesqlservername failed." This seems very odd to me, because I'm using exactly the same SQL Server and database to interact with the application, and all the other screens in the application work perfectly. The test computer CAN connect to this SQL Server, but it keeps throwing this error whenever I try import data from Excel.I've tried everything I can think of - using the server's IP address instead of the server name, sending the SQL Server administrator data along with the request, taking out the Trusted_Connection=Yes... nothing works. What is going on here? How can this code work fine on my computer, and hiccup on another?
I want to import an excel file in .net. Excel file resides on server. when I try to imort the file using below code , i am getting error.

I'm trying to import excel file into sql sever and then get some values that I decide.I read several posts but anyway I don't succed to proceding.First:
mypath=textbox1.text Excelconnection = New OleDbConnection("provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; data source=" + myPath + "; Extended Properties='Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1'") Excelconnection.Open()
Does anyone has a sample code that do like,Open and select excel file and select the exact excel sheet to import then connect to SQL server 2008 and append all the data from the certain sheet to the SQL table?
I need to develop a service and install it into a w2003 box to read excel files a then process its info. The process is as follows, users will upload excel files using FTP and then my service must take those files, validate and then update a SQL Server DB.
The application runs fine on my computer but on the server it asks for the libraries but when I try to install the MS office 2003 Primary Interop Assemblies, system displays "Please install Microsoft Office 2003 before installing the product".
I'd prefer to stay away of any server upgrade as we should require OKs, etc.. so, is there a simple way to just read excel files without having to install any update in the server.
I want to multiply or add the values of two or more cells in a datagridview control in a row and and should also be auto-saved in the database after entering datas in the cell. I am using SQL Server 2008 for my database.
I want all the contents both in columns and rows to auto resize its length depending on the length of text that is to appear in the cell...but it seems I cant get the idea on how to properly use the auto size method.
I have a DataGridView binded to a DataSet that I created using the Visual Studio Data Source Configuration Wizard. Everything works good except for one problem.I have two columns, Modified_By and Date_Modified that should be inserted or updated as the user and the current date, respectively. So every row in the DataGridView should have the same value for these two columns.So far, I have thought of two ways to get this working, but neither one seems very clean. The first idea is to make a custom Fill method that takes as parameters the user and the current date and then add them as extra columns in the select method. For example
I would like to know how to set the specific cell border size to insetdouble.I search some document, there is dataGridViewAdvancedBorderStyle, but how to apply to specific cells in data grid view
I have a datalist in vb web form.How can i get the value in a specific rows and cells of a datalist?I could do it for detailsview but how to do it for datalist?Below is my code for detailsview: Dim selectedCommentAns As String = DetailsView.Rows(0).Cells(1).Text.I tried the same way for datalist but it dont have rows and cells to be selected.[code]
We would like to have 2 ErrorProviders for a DataGridView. The standard ErrorProvider and another WarningProvider with a different icon. Also is it possible to Left Justify the standard ErrorProvider icon in specific DataGridView cells?
I have a mature VB6 program that depends heavily on flexgrids for the display.It appears that DataGrids are somewhat of a replacement for flexgrid?I need to update individual cells over and over and I don't see how to address a single cell. Appears to me that most samples are tied to a database which I don't have.If I set up a datagrid that is say 3x3, how do I read and write from and to say the center cell?
