After many hours of trouble shooting I am still do not understand how this is not working when it has worked in the past and with many SSIS packages that I have in place.
Using either a "Excel Source" or "OLE DB Source"Connection; I am NO longer able to reference or bring the listing of "Sheet Names" when selecting "Data Access Mode" for "Table or View". I have tried Numerous
fixes that have been listed with NO success.
On the Excel Connection side side I was using with success: Microsoft Excel 2007-2010 but only works in Sql Command mode.
Microsoft Excel 2013 does work in either "Table View" or "SQL Command Mode"
The Only action that I can use on the 2 connections above is with a "Data Access Mode" of SQL Command; this would mean that I will need to change a lot of packages that are in place or hope they still work.
( example: select * from [R1$A1:IZ1000] )
Here is my environment Configuration:
Visual Studio Professional 2017, Version 15.9.11
Reading Excel(xlsx) files using Microsoft Office Standard 2013
Both 32bit and 64bit Microsoft Data Access Components have been applied to my environment, and based on the KBs that I have tried; no success when using "Table or View".
I have tried numerous parameters which were applied to the connections but no success.
At this point I looking for some assistance and solutions to resolve the issue.
Many thanks from a frustrated developer....!
