Looping Through Excel Columns (256 columns)

Hello All,

I have a problem and i wish i can get the answers or advices to solve it.

i have like 20 excel files and in each file there is 1 sheet (Planning) . What i need to do is to loop on the on the 20 files (actually this is the easy part and i already done it) the hard part is while looping i need to open each excel file and loop on the 256 columns in it and extract the data from it to a SQL server Database.

Any help will be alot appreciated.

Does each sheet have the same number of columns and the same column names?

Hi, thank you for ur reply, yes the sheets are all the same, same columns name and same column data and same number of columns.

Perfect, then inside your loop you'll need a data flow task. Set the source excel connection manager through a variable and send the data to your destination.

thats if i wanted to extract the whole excel sheet, wht i want to do is looping on the columns(256), loop on each column and extract it where i want.

I don't quite understand. There is an interface to map your source columns to your destination columns.

i found it thank you alot Smile
