I daily receive a .xlsx file from a client that I need to load into a DW environment. In attempt to automate the process I chose SSIS to do the job though unsuccessfully. I get the error below in SSIS VS 2015 when I attempt to query (SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$a1:d5]) the file:
Exception fromHRESULT: 0xC020801C
Error at DepositDetail [Connection manager "Excel Connection Manager"]: 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.".
Error at Data Flow Task [Excel Source [44]]: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER. The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009. There may be error messages posted before this with more information on why the AcquireConnection method call failed.
If I open and save the file and try to connect to it, it works with no problem.
I have already installed Microsoft Access database engine 2010 (and set Run64BitRuntime to False in VS) and was able to connect to a test Excel file I created.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
