Problem with SSIS while exporting to Excel

  • Hi,

    I am new to SSIS, I tried to export data to excel from sql server.

    I getting the following error. Pls Help

    Error at Data Flow Task [Excel Destination [477]]: Column "DB_NAME" cannot convert between unicode and non-unicode string data types.

    Error at Data Flow Task [Excel Destination [477]]: Column "ACCT_NBR" cannot convert between unicode and non-unicode string data types.

    Regards

    Ram...

  • Well, the error is quite self-explanatory:

    SSI cannot implicitly convert a string encoded in unicode to a string encoded in another coding schema (or the other way around).

    The solution is simple:

    convert the datatype of the string (DT_STR) to a unicode string (DT_WSTR). You can use the data conversion component for this. (Or the other way around. I do not know if your source or your destination is in unicode)

    Need an answer? No, you need a question
