Excel->SSIS: Named tables

$
0
0

Hello community,

I have an Excel file with several worksheets and more than one table per worksheet.

These tables are formatted as tables and named via Formula->Name Manager.

I now want to import some of these tables using the Excel source in SSIS (2016), but I don't see them in the dropdown menu in the Excel Source Editor ('Name of the Excel sheet').

If I do not format a table as 'Table' (select in Excel an press Ctrl+T) and do a selection->rightclick->Define Name, then I can see this table in the SSIS dropdown.

So what's the difference between these named tables?

As soon as I format a selection as table (Strg+T), the entry 'Define Name' vanishes from the right-click-context menu and I have to use the Name Manager in the tab 'Formula'.

Unformatted:

Not formatted as table

Formatted as table:

Formatted as table

An explanation would be, that tables are named automatically in Excel. But why are those named tables not visible in SSIS? It doesn't matter if I leave them at their original names (table1, table2, ...) or give them more descriptive names. They just aren't visible in SSIS.
