SQL CONNECTION - EXCEL FILE

[fabiolamelo]

Hi everyone,

I`m working in one project that a company provide a finance erp service for many clients.

To get the data from their client`s erp they use an API that connected with their client`s server . I`ve created a lot of report using API as a source. However, for many reasons they want to change the connection . So, instead of API data, they will generate the data in Excel file from the client`s server.

My question is, if I connect with the server using a "SQL server" connection, is it possible to get this excel file with the data?

It`s seem easy but I`m not sure if this solution its possible. Can you please help me?

Thanks

Hi @fabiolamelo ,

According to your description, I think get a excel file from a SQL server connector is feasible. You can import data from Excel or export data to Excel with SSIS by using one of the following tools:
     1.SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS)
     2.SQL Server Import and Export Wizard

@fabiolamelo , You can have both SQL server and excel has Datasource in the same file. I am not sure what issue you are facing there

Hi @amitchandak thanks to your reply .

I understand that I can have SQL (using SQL server connector ) and Excel (using "Excel workbook") as a source. However, is it possible to get a excel file from a SQL server connector?

Maybe this question is too easy for you, but I didn`t have any situation like that before. I mean or I got the table direct from the SQL or I got the data from a Excel. But using a sql server connection and get a excel file I dont know i its possible.

Can you please help me?

Thanks
