I have a very large excel data to load to SQL table. For small data it works. However, for large data (more than 20 million records) I get the following error.
Excel to CSV : There were errors during task validation. Excel to CSV
Error: "Excel Source" failed validation and returned validation status
and returned validation status "VS_ISBROKEN". Excel to CSV: opening a
rowset for "Table1$" failed. check that the object exists in the
database. Excel to CSV:Error : SSIS Error code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An
OLE DB error has occurred .Error code 0x80004005.
My package had no problem. The issue is with the excel file . For small data the extension .xlsx works ( excel 2007) . For the large data i have to convert the data to Excel 97 version which is (.xls). Doing so help load the data
Usually when I get this error, something is wrong with the destination table. Check the existence of the table and also match of fields between source and destination.

Step1: I have a script task at first to get excel file at a specific location and delete few lines of data and then rename the file to "Report.xlsx" the same location.
Step2: Now I have a Data Flow task, I have used an Excel Source to load rename excel file by specifying the "FilePath+Report.xlsx" in the Excel File Path of Excel Connection Manager and selected the Sheet1$ as Name of the Excel sheet.
My Goal is to get the file in that location => rename the file to "Report.xlsx" => then load the data from excel to table.
But when I run the report, I am getting the below error
Error at Work_Data [Excel Source [2]]: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E37.
Error at Work_Data [Excel Source [2]]: Opening a rowset for "Sheet1$" failed. Check that the object exists in the database.
Error at Work_Data [SSIS.Pipeline]: "Excel Source" failed validation and returned validation status "VS_ISBROKEN".
Error at Work_Data [SSIS.Pipeline]: One or more component failed validation.
Error at Work_Data: There were errors during task validation.
My guess is that, the Excel Connection Manager trying to access the Report.xlsx report which will not be there before renaming (I guess).
Is there a way to achieve my Goal ?
I am trying to import an Excel file (.xls) via SSIS to a table in SQL Server. But SSIS doesn't seem to recognize the file as a valid Excel file. I get the following errors:
Error 1:
[Excel Source [86]] Error: SSIS
Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER.
The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "Carga Base Original" failed with error code 0xC0202009. There may be error messages posted before this with more information on why the AcquireConnection method call failed.
Error 2:
[SSIS.Pipeline]
Error: Excel Source failed validation and returned error code 0xC020801C.
Error 3:
[Connection manager "Carga Base Original"] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.
An OLE DB record is available.
Source: "Microsoft Access Database Engine"
Hresult: 0x80004005
Description: "External table is not in the expected format".
My connection manager properties is an Excel Source, its properties look like this:
I am passing the Excel file path through a variable. The Excel file looks OK and is not corrupted. I tried to put a fix Excel path, try to put it in Connection String property (fix path and variable), but nothing of this helped.
Can anyone please help me?
The main error is:
External table is not in the expected format
This happens when the Excel file is corrupted and cannot be opened by Access Database Engine (OLE DB provider) even if you can open the file from Excel. In a similar case opening the file manually and saving it as a new file may do the trick.
In my case saving the mail-merged reference Excel file as .xls (Excel 97 - 2003) worked. .xlsx provoked the "External table is not in expected format" error message but .xls did not.
I was trying to import excel file to sql server for the first time and I get this error. Could you please help me? No idea what's going on :|

The data which you are importing might be having text bigger than columns size of table.
Maximize the size of the table column and then try.
Check the length for the column Threat on source and destination. Please adjust that according to the length on excel, bascally increase it.
Alternatively, In the Excel source editor and click on error output tab.
Select the column Threat and in Truncation column set the value as Ignore failure.
This should help.
Check out the ideas in this Stackoverflow link enter link description here, then. It might be trying to import some extra blank rows, which you can either allow (by changing the ALLOW NULLS option), or pipe the failed rows into a different dataset in SSIS, to handle the failing rows separately
Are you creating a DFT manually? If so:
1) Create New Excel Connection Manager - Link your excel file
2) Create New OLE DB Connection Manager - Choose your Database and Table.
3) Excel Source
4) Data Conversion - Convert the EXCEL column to DT_STR which makes it Varchar instead of NVARCHAR.
5) OLE DB Destination which is your SQL server table.
Alternatively you could set the column to NVARCHAR and it would match the EXCEL But if it's a VARCHAR column the data needs to be converted to DT_STR in the data conversion. Let me know if you need more help.
How do I import a local flat tab file into a database using SQL Server 2012 without truncation errors?
What I have tried: To import the local flat tab file into my database. I'm using Microsoft Sql Server Management System (MS SMS). I receive errors that the FULL_DESCRIPTION column is truncated. I changed the data type for that column to max and tried VARCHAR(max) & NVARCAR(max) & NTEXT(max) but I receive the same errors. I right click on the database > Tasks > Import Data.
Then the SQL server Import and Export Wizard appears.[Choose From Data Source.] > [Choose Data Destination to copy to.] > [Table Preview] > [Review Data Mapping] > Finish. It starts executing and I receive the following error screen.
Error 0xc02020a1: Data Flow Task 1: Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "FULL_DESCRIPTION" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page."

I ended up transferring the flat file into an Excel file and importing it into the SSIS 2008 R2 database without loosing data.
I transferred the flat file into excel as Microsoft Excel 97-2003 Worksheet.
How to import an Excel file into SQL Server?
This is my first question here and before posting this question I have checked all the previous questions same as these or related to this one but I'm unable to solve the problem despite applying the fixes suggested by other members. Please, help.
My scenario: I have put multiple excel sheets (in MS Excel 2007 format) in a single workbook. I have created a User variable with package scope that holds the first sheet name within a for each loop container.
What I want to do
: I want to read multiple excel sheets within a single workbook and then write them to a SQL table. I have been able to accomplish reading a single excel file and writing it to a SQL table but not multiple excel files.
Software installed:
I'm using SQL Server Enterprise edition R2 with BIDS in it.
Resolution steps that I have followed so far:
Have set the DelayValidation property in excel connection manager as True
Have used a Variable with package level scope and assigned it the first sheet name which in my case is named as 'Sheet1"
My connection string is "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" +#[User::SheetName]+ ";Extended Properties=\"EXCEL 12.0 XML;HDR=YES\";" which is evaluated as correct
Have set the Package property to use 32 bit validation as suggested in this forum as I'm using a 32 bit OS
I get no errors at the design time but when i start debugging the project, I get the following errors given below,
[Excel Source [1]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E37.
[Excel Source [1]] Error: Opening a rowset for "C:\Users\XYZ\Desktop\Dataset\BasicData.xlsx" failed. Check that the object exists in the database.
[SSIS.Pipeline] Error: "component "Excel Source" (1)" failed validation and returned validation status "VS_ISBROKEN".
[SSIS.Pipeline] Error: One or more component failed validation.
Error: There were errors during task validation.
Please, can anyone let me know what am i doing wrong and how do I fix these errors.
Thank you,
