The connection manager serves as the interface between the package and the Excel file, or more precisely, the source component uses the connection manager to access the data in the Excel file. If your SSIS package retrieves data from an Excel workbook, you need both the connection manager and the source component. It’s not a question of one over the other. “When should I use an Excel connection manager rather than an Excel Source component?” “How do I retrieve data from multiple Excel workbook files?”.How do I handle errors for the data that will not convert?” “In my data flow, I’m converting data I retrieve from an Excel spreadsheet to the VARCHAR data type.What steps do I have to take to transform the data?” I’m receiving an error message saying that I cannot convert Unicode data to non-Unicode data. The table includes several VARCHAR columns. “I’m using SSIS to retrieve data from an Excel worksheet and inserting the data into a SQL Server table.“How do I join data from multiple worksheets within a single Excel file?”.Is there a way to redirect rows that contain values too large for the new column size?” “My SSIS package includes a Data Conversion transformation for reducing the size of the Unicode string columns that are retrieved from an Excel spreadsheet.“How do you import a range of cells from an Excel worksheet, rather than all the data on the worksheet?”.However, when I try to debug the package I receive an error and a suggestion that I run the package in 32-bit mode. “I built an SSIS package that retrieves data from an Excel workbook.

How do I send those rows to a text file, rather than loading them into the target database table?”

“How do I limit my result set to specific columns when retrieving data from an Excel workbook?”.Do I need to do anything in response to the warning message?” My data flow shows a warning message indicating that data could be truncated however, the package runs with no problem and loads the data into the table. “My SSIS package retrieves data from an Excel worksheet and inserts the data into a SQL Server table.How do you control data types in the source component?” “I’ve tried changing the data types that the Excel Source component assigns to the incoming data but have had no luck.“When should I use an Excel connection manager rather than an Excel Source component?”.Importing Excel Data into SQL Server Via SSIS: Questions You Were Too Shy to Ask - Simple Talk Skip to content
