DTS - import from excel ended with more records

144 New Member
hello,

i've just tried importing data from an excel file to a table in SQL Server 2000. there are only 887 rows in the excel file, but after the import process. and i select * from the Dest_Table. i see there are 2341 records.

and also for this, i have to remove the primary key constraint from the table, because if not, there will be errors telling the primary filed cannot be null. there's no empty/null value in the excel file.

why can this happen?

Thank you.

This can happen if your excel document has a lot of blank rows following the rows that actually have data in them.
You can tell by the vertical scroll bar on the worksheet. It will scroll way past the rows that actually have data.

2 Fixes
1) Highlight all the empty rows in the worksheet and delete them.
Save the document and then check the scroll bar. It should only scroll to the end of the rows with data.
2)Change your DTS so that it excludes blank rows

I have seven huge fixed width text file that I need to import to Access. They contain headers, subtotals, etc. that are not needed. There is also some corrupt data that we know about and can correct once the data is in Access (or during the import process itself). Furthermore, the text files are poorly set up, such that some records may be "shifted" over a few characters, and therefore the fixed width nature of the file is corrupted. ...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
