I am using Azure Synapse Link for Dynamics 365. It automatically exports data from Dynamics 365 in CSV format into blob storage/data lake. I use the COPY INTO function to load the data into a Dedicated Pool instance. However, the contact model has recently started failing.
I investigated the issue and found that the cause was due to a field that has an image encoded as text. I only copy selected fields from the CSV files and this is not one of them, but it still causes the copy to fail. I manually updated the CSV file to exclude this data from the one row where it was found and it worked fine.
The error message associated with the error is:
The column is too long in the data file for row 1328, column 32.
This is supposed to be an automated process so I do not want to be manually editing CSV files when this occurs. Are there any parameters that I can add to the COPY INTO function to prevent this error? I tried using MAXERRORS but that made no difference.
The only other thing that I could think of is to write a script (maybe an Azure Function?) that checks the file for this issue and corrects it. Maybe there is a simpler approach though?
I get an error message when I try run my SSIS Package the error is:
[Flat File Source [1]] Error: The column delimiter for column "Column
8" was not found.
[Flat File Source [1]] Error: An error occurred while skipping data
rows.
[SSIS.Pipeline] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_PRIMEOUTPUTFAILED. The PrimeOutput method on component "Flat File Source" (1) returned
error code 0xC0202091. The component returned a failure code when the
pipeline engine called PrimeOutput(). The meaning of the failure code
is defined by the component, but the error is fatal and the pipeline
stopped executing. There may be error messages posted before this
with more information about the failure.
Most of the csv files load no problem but a handful of csv files don't and prior to that the package has been working fine for years.
Encountered this error too, turned out that its skipping data rows because my CSV file has missing columns. Try checking if the columns in your file is correct.
Possible Scenario would be Multiple CSV Files doesn't have the same structure (Column names
)
Similar to user2545231's answer (can't comment based on reputation), I solved this by clicking Reset Columns in the connection manager for the file I was trying to import.
I also came across the same error. Yet I got it resolved by checking the flat file sources. Make sure that there are no unnecessary spaces, verify delimiter used for eg: a comma,etc and also the data entry should be in sync with the first row. I hope it helps you out.
I found through our FTP configuration older files can hang in the SAN or the FTP and this can cause this error as well. Very frustrating.
Another possible source for this error is if you've created your system with a new version of an incoming file and then go back to import older ones and find the error ... check that all the fields are there! I discovered that for a few days "back then" three fields were missing, causing this error.
I have got the same error when I am processing a file.
In my case, the problem is the expected delimiter is TAB whereas the file that I have received was a comma(,) delimited file.
When I have correct the input file format, it has resolved the issue.
I had a task that involved reading files and skiping rows if a certain condition was true. The name of the column used in there was "Pxs" and the actual name in the files was "PXS". It is case sensitive, it couldn't find the column. Corrected to caps and it works fine now.
In my case, just deleted those data flow tasks, clean designer, recreated same.. mentioned error got resolved. Its Microsoft :(!
-check the detail message that is next to that one
-check the columns: there might be difference between what you look in this file and that is it actually
I am working on an Excel file that has embedded RExcel and calls a function from R through RApply in thousands of cells. The problem that I encounter is when I try to download some files in CSV format, I obtained a message which states that a severe error has occured and all my Excel files are shut down.
I would appreciate some assistance in what I could do in order to prevent this problem!
Problem
-I have an excel spreadsheet generated a lotus app. It smells and looks like excel but Excel Source data flow source can not recognise it. When trying to select a table(tab) i get the following error message "External table is not in the expected format.”
-Opening the excel spreadsheet and save it again helps(File also reduces in size). But as dev we ara allegic to manual processes.
-I have tried to change the connection string using a variable
from
Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\DataImport\Lotus.xls;Extended Properties="Excel 8.0;HDR=YES";
To
Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\DataImport\Lotus.xls;Extended Properties="EXCEL 12.0;HDR=YES";
If i can avoid the script task that would be great
I have had to open and close the excel file manually saving. Those bugs that can't be fixed
I had the same error, your post led me to open the excel file but my excel file was corrupt. I'm posting in case this helps someone else.
I have code using Apache POI written to read data from .xls worksheets using hssf. I'd like for the program to read .xlsx worksheets as well using org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel. Here is the code:
(_fileName is passed into the function)
java.io.FileInputStream fs = new java.io.FileInputStream(_fileName)
Workbook book = WorkbookFactory.create(fs);
It throws the following exception for a .xlsx file: InavlidFormatException - Can't read the content types part !
I'm doing this in Visual Studio, so the output window says "A first chance exception of type 'org.apache.poi.openxml4j.exceptions.InvalidFormatException' occurred in poi-ooxml-3.7-20101029.dll'.
And for a .xls file, the output window says "A first chance exception of type 'java.io.IOException' occurred in IKVM.OpenJDK.Core.dll"
It would be great if someone could help me solve this issue. Been working on this since yesterday.
Thank you so much!!!

The error message indicates that your .xlsx file isn't a valid one. I'd double check you're passing in the correct file, and that it's really an Excel one (and not something else - in your .xlsx case I suspect you just have a normal zip file)
