Importing Excel 2007 sheet using ssis 2008

  • Hi,

    I am new to ssis,

    I am importing excel sheet , in which last column "comments" has large size data i.e data of 15 or more trailing mails data. I created table with column 'comment ' having datatype as ntext .And Not every row contains that much data. when i loaded it first and i found it loads only 255 charatcter of data and rest get truncated.so i searched and found ssis takes some sample rows from excel and fixes datatype and size.Hence i increased that sample rate in registry which found maximum 16 rows can be sampled. but in my case this large sized rows can appear at any sequence may be at 55th row,60th row or100th row or at any number , more than one time.

  • So you adjusted TypeGuessRows in the registry to 0?

    In the Advanced Editor for the Excel source, check the datatype for the output column "comment".
