I am trying to download a .xlsx excel file from FTP server and save it in a .csv file format.
I was able to download a file from server using ftp task in SSIS and save it in a local folder now I want to save that file as csv file format for import process. I could not find a conversion method or task from .xlxs to csv. i tried script task but it didn't work. can someone please help.
The simplest way to do that will be to use an Excel source and a Flat File Destination (set it as a CSV). Hope it helps.
You can add a Script task to achieve this, and inside the script you can use Interop Library:
Converting XLSX file using to a CSV file
Convert .xlsx & .xls to .csv

I need to load a Flat file to a snowflake table. flat file comes in daily with timestamp. how can I do this in IICS.
You have to do an indirect file load and have a batch/shell script that generates the file list and is run as a command in your source object
I have data flow task, which import data from sql server to excel. Currently it requires to have excel templated in place, meaning that I have xlsx file with column names without data in my network location. If I run the package the excel will be filled with data.
What is needed: If I run ssis package I need new xlsx file to be created every time if package is executed. So I need to just create xlsx file with define columns every time and the xlsx file name should include date.
I imagine that I have to set up script task before data flow task, which just creates xlsx file. I am not very familiar with C#, I hope that someone could share the code what to use to achieve this.
Or, you could create a folder and place a Template excel file with predefined format and no data.
Every time the process runs, it must:
Copy the file using File System task to the destination location
Use Data flow task to populate the data into the file in the Destination location
Rename the file in the Destination location as required
I have a bunch of .xls/.xlsx files being dumped from SSIS tool. Figuring out how to write a batch script to convert .xls/.xlsx files to .xml directly. Changing the extension and renaming it doesn;t fix it. So it will have to open and saved as .xml
Any help here would be appreciated.

I'm using this link as a reference for reading a file from FTP folder. But this tutorial says that the files in the FTP folder should be loaded in a local folder and only then it can be used for processing using other tasks in SSIS.
My question is, Is it possible to read a file directly from the FTP folder without storing them in the local folder and do the ETL operations in SISS?
Any advice would be helpful, Thank you.
Not with standard SSIS components. Standard SSIS allows you to download a file from FTP server to a local folder, and use local CSV-like file as a data source. Standard Flat File Source or XML Source allows only local and mapped network folders as sources for the source File.
If you really want to combine FTP download and Data source in single data source, you can write your own Script Source Component with C# or VB.NET. It will require more efforts than using standard two components.
I am quite new on using SSIS dtsx on SQL server 2005.
I have CSV files that have been cleansed removing extra commas (in text fields) opening the CSV file in excel and using a replace command.
The problem is that I cannot do the same thing in SSIS as the CSV file cannot be opened with the Excel Connection Manager.
How Can I handle this problem?
Thanks in advance for your help,
