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,
Damien

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:

I am importing flat files to a SQL Server DB. I have a for each loop containing a dataflow task which has a flat file source, OLEDB destination and flat file destination for errors. I set the error output settings to redirect rows, I notice one of the flat files has row(s) missing delimiters. Quotes and commas. This is causing it to hang. I've found similar solutions
but they haven't worked, like setting alwayscheckforrowdelimiter to false.
Thanks!
I have a CSV file with 10 columns. I want to import to SQL Server table with only 5 columns using powershell. Can anyone help in this ?
I suggest that Change your excel file to 5 sight column, and then using SQL Server Import\Export wizard or SSIS (if your convert is each day periodic) or PowerShell to convert your data.
You can you following reference in order to use PowerShell to convert your file:

I have to import data from a .txt file using SSIS package into sql server.
How can we find the:
Format
Text Qualifier
Header row delimiter
Row Delimiter
Column Delimiter
of .txt file when defining the "Flat File connection manager Editor in SSIS"
Does SSIS autodetect these things when we select the file?
