I have below c sharp code in script component(transformation) in ssis package which will load data from single sheet from each workbook. Now requirement changed and have more than 15 excel workbooks which have multiple sheets and I need to automate bringing that data into SQL server table.

Is there a way to pull data from Excel only from particular sheets? It seems to rely on the sheet name as the data source, for example ExcelworkbookA have 7 shets but need data only from three sheets.
Anyone suggest me how to modify below code to allow multiple sheets from exceworkbooks

Are the filenames and sheet names always the same?

yes filenames and sheet names always same

1 solution

0) First, I wouldn't use a script task to import an excel file unless I absolutely had to. There is built-in importer functionality that makes it far easier to do.

1) I would create a separate importer package for each worksheet. Why? Because SSIS error reporting sucks wild donkey schlongs, and a failure anyplace in the importing process could crash the entire package, and thus cause the associated SQL agent to fail. It's MUCH easier to zero-in on failures when you have an agent that runs a "step" for each package. The only possible downside to this is that the filenames and worksheet names must always be the same name, and the sheets must always have the same columns formatted the same way.

2) If you insist on using a script task (again, I suggest you don't do this), I posted an article over the weekend that allows you to load an excel file (WITHOUT USING EXCEL INTEROP) into a DataTable that can then be used to move the data into a database - CSV/Excel File Parser - A Revisit[^]

Thanks. In the article CSV/Excel File Parser - A Revisit[^] which part do I need to consider. Sorry I have very little experience in scripts. please suggest
#realJSOP 9-Apr-18 10:18am    
The code in that article will allow you to import an excel spreadsheet - all you need to do is provide the filename and sheet name. What you do with the data after it's been parsed is really up to you. a Script task is nothing more than a C# assembly that you compile. Anything you can do in c#, you can do in a script. IMHO, if you're not schooled up on this (SSIS, and C#), you're the wrong person to be modifying the script, because a small mistake on your part could destroy your existing data.

The article has code, and provides sample usage for both Excel and CSV files. You should review it and evaluate its suitability for your task before using it.
