SSIS, Create a Dynamic Excel file with dynamic Sheet Names
Create a Dynamic Excel File with Dynamic Sheet Names in SSIS. I found this one of the easiest ways to dynamically create an excel file with dynamic sheet names.
Step 1
Select SQL Task Editor and then in General -> Connection Type -> Select Excel
Step 3
And then just below Connection Type in the “Connection” tab select “New Connection” and you will get the image to the right.
Step 3
Create a blank excel file or a dummy File to select the file for the above screen.
Need not worry about headers etc.
Step 4
Select SQL Source Type as “Direct Input”
Step 5
This is the Key part.
In the SQL Statement tab, write the code just the way we do for creating a table in SQL.
One can create the columns depending on the nature of column types like Varchar, INT, DECIMAL etc.
Here, in the above figure, “” refers to the Sheet name and the rest refers to the columns within the sheet.
Then Click “OK”.
If you want to have multiple sheets, then follow the above steps with multiple SQL Task Editors.
Now, all set for dynamic sheet names
