Re: Excel import

Yes, you can use the excel addin like others have suggested, or if you want a more robust solution that you can schedule on a daily/hourly/minute basis with spreadsheet integrity validation and advanced transformation capabilities, then you can use SSIS.

Matt, you're saying I can use SSIS to import the excel sheet to the i?

SQL Server comes with a full fledge ETL tool you can use to import that
excel data into your IBM i.

It's called SSIS (SQL Server Integration Services).

That right click menu you are seeing in SQL Management Studio for
importing and exporting data to any platform uses SSIS under the covers.

IBM sells a full fledged ETL tool called DataStage. You might want to
check price on it though, I seen a 2 CPU pack was $74k but that was from an
old price list. For that price you could buy about 72 CPU Core licenses of
SQL Standard Edition (which includes SSIS as part of the product).

In SQL Server studio, they have one very nice feature which I would like
to know if we have on the i.
One can import an excel sheet onto the sql server, it will create a table
and the column names will be the excel names of if blanks they do F1, F2.
etc.
would we have this on the IFS?
