I'm trying to output an excel file from Talend 7.1. I've tried a few different setups and both xls and xlsx formats but they all result in the output file being corrupt and not being able to open it.
What am I doing wrong? I am loading an xlsx file into a database and this part works fine but outputting to excel I just can't figure it out! I was writing from the tMap directly to the tFileOutputExcel and it wasn't working (corrupt) so I changed it to write to a csv file first and then write that csv to the tFileOutputExcel but it is still corrupt.
This is my job detail:
And this is the settings in the tFileOutputExcel
I got this working by changing the transfer mode in the FTP component from 'ascii' to 'binary'. Such a simple thing but if this helps anyone else with this issue who is a newb like me :)

we have a CSV file that was creating validation errors in a process we run. The validation error made no sense as the error indicated didn't appear as the file was created exactly as instructed. I've tried several ways to resolve it without success. I eventually tried re-saving the file as CSV via Excel and noticed the file was in CSV UTF-8 format and this apparently resolved the error. I noticed the new file size is 3 bytes less than the old one but the content should be exactly the same. The file is completely in English so I am not sure what was causing this. Can anyone advise why the file size is 3 bytes less when saving as CSV rather than CSV UTF-8 format even though data in the file should be identical? These extra 3 bytes likely have caused the validation error.
Thanks for your help
I am having issue with the SSIS package, by Running from BIDS I could export 400K records successfully, But when I tried to run from the Job the package ran successfully but the excel file is empty.
The user which I am running the package with having the full access to the C:\Users folders. and I see it saving the data into the temporary folder but not writing that data into the file and finish with empty file.
For example : 230000 records (works good)
Create the excel file
Load the temporary data
Write data into the file
close the file
330000 records (not working)
Create the excel file
Load the temporary data
Write data into the file xxxxxxx this line missing from the process monitor
close the file
Solution : give permission to the user executing the package to the folder C:\Users\Default doesn't work for me.
Please help!
Sorry for bugging you guys, Found the problem. There was just 1.6GB of disk space on the server, thought the file is taking just 200MB of space but generate lots of temporary files causing the disk full error. Strange that SSIS package ran successfully without giving any warning or error. Thanks for looking into it.
Using an existing SSIS package, I was trying to import .xlsx files we received from a client. I received the error message:
External table is not in the expected format
These files will open in XL
When I use XL (currently XL2010) to Save As... the file without making any changes:
The new file imports just fine
The new file is 330% the size of the original file
When changing .xlsx to .zip and investigating the contents with WinZip:
The original file only has 4 .xml files and a _rels folder (with 2 .rels files):
The new file has the expected .xlsx contents:
Does anyone know what kind of file this could be?
It would be nice to develop my SSIS package to work with these original files, without having to open and re-save each file. There are only 12 files, so if there are no other options, opening/saving each file is not that big of deal...and I could automate it with VBA going forward.
Thanks for any help anyone can provide,

There are many Excel file formats.
The file you are trying to import may have another excel format but the extension is changed to .xlsx (it could be edited by someone else) , or it could be created with a different Excel version.
There is a Third-Part application called TridNet File Identifier which is an utility designed to identify file types from their binary signatures. you can use it to specify the real extension of the specified file.
Also after a simple search on External table is not in the expected format this error is thrown when the definition (or version) of the excel files supported in the connection string is different from the file selected. Check the connection string used in the excel connection manager. It might help to identify the version of the file.

I see you're using ODBC. The VFP ODBC driver works only with VFP 6 and earlier data files. Maybe the file you're having trouble with was created using features added in a later version of VFP?
First post here so if I am doing something stupid, please let me know.
CentOS 7(3.10.0-123.6.3.el7.x86_64), perl5 (revision 5 version 16 subversion 3), Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX v0.16
I have an .xlsx that has some embedded .pdf's and another xlsx in embedded within it. I am trying to read these and insert them into a csv along with the original xlsx. After some googl'ing to no avail my thought was to unzip the original xlsx and read the files from the xl/embeddings directory but, alas there is something with the file that causes adobe reader to not be able to read the oleObject(X).bin files in that dir.
I have been able to successfully read all the worksheets that dio not contain embedded docs using Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX, works great. I have googled for a solution but am either not using correct search prams or ...
If you know how to do this can you point me to some instructions?
TIA,
