Cannot create an instance of OLE DB provider Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 for linked server null

Question

I am trying to export from my Table data into Excel through T-SQL query. After little research I came up with this

IN         


        

Answer 1

Works !!! Great thanks. Just for 64-bit Win server 2012R2. Let me put the whole working script partially repeating bits from above which are not easy (as for me) to combine together:

1) Download the Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 for Windows, 64 bit version found here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13255

2) Create excel file with respective columns (name and class in this case).

3) Run code below:

sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1;  
RECONFIGURE;
GO 
sp_configure 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries', 1;  
RECONFIGURE;  
GO 

/* -- Not sure commented bits are necessary but I also have run them
EXEC master.dbo.sp_MSset_oledb_prop N'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', N'AllowInProcess', 1
GO 
EXEC master.dbo.sp_MSset_oledb_prop N'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', N'DynamicParameters', 1
GO 

-- below two lines failed with: Msg 2787, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_MSset_oledb_prop, Line 106 Invalid format specification: '%1!.'.
    EXEC sp_MSset_oledb_prop N'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', N'AllowInProcess', 1   
EXEC sp_MSset_oledb_prop N'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', N'DynamicParam', 1

-- but works all two as below:
EXEC sp_MSset_oledb_prop N'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', N'AllowInProcess', 1   
EXEC sp_MSset_oledb_prop N'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', N'DynamicParameters', 1
-- Succeded to run after success with Excel so does not looks like necessary

INSERT INTO OPENROWSET('Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', 
'Excel 8.0;Database=C:\testing.xlsx;', 
'SELECT Name, Class FROM [Sheet1$]') 
SELECT [Name],[Class] FROM Qry_2
GO
