Hi Gurus,

I have to load data from excel source to a sql server table. When i tried to create the connection manager i get the following error message. The scenario is as below

I have SSIS installed on a machine that doesnt have excel.

I am getting the files from a folder on a shared drive location. The supposed excel file has the .xlsx extensio but has text file icon. When i open  its unreadable format.

My question is do i need to install excel ?

I am using MS  SQL Server data tools for Visual studio 2017 SSDT

The server is windows server 2012r2

please advice
