Home Forums SQL Server 2008 SQL Server 2008 - General Exporting a TEXT (or long varchar) column to an Excel file with the OPENROWSET command. RE: Exporting a TEXT (or long varchar) column to an Excel file with the OPENROWSET command.

  • SSIS is indeed able to compose dynamic strings (you just use programmatic tools inside ssis, so again, its not really the native tools). I meant that there is not way to output into excel dynamically with the native ssis tools.

    I'm aware of the limitations of Excel. Thank you for the reply. 🙂

    I eventually used .NET code and created a small program that creates and gets the data into an excel file (using the EPPlus library). 🙂
