In SSIS 2008 R2, I am trying to use variable + String value in the Excel connection manager property. Like,
Variable: @[User::ExcelFilePath]
Value C:\InputFiles\
And inside the property of the Excel Connection Manager, under Expression i chose 'ConnectionString' value as
@[User::ExcelFilePath] + "TestingSamples.xls"
But i get the following error,
Nonfatal errors occurred while saving the package:Error at ExcelLoad [Connection manager "Excel Connection Manager"]: The connection string format is not valid. It must consist of one or more components of the form X=Y, separated by semicolons. This error occurs when a connection string with zero components is set on database connection manager.
Error at ExcelLoad: The result of the expression "@[User::ExcelFilePath] + "TestingSamples.xls"" on property "ConnectionString" cannot be written to the property. The expression was evaluated, but cannot be set on the property.
The same is working fine for text file, like
@[User::ExcelFilePath] + "masters.txt"
I searched for a solution but i didn't get a proper solution.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks !
