Excel destination fails

Hi All!

I am trying to create a table destination to excel which fails with the following error that " Table cannot be created " System Error in Field definition" where as the same works in the Falt File Destination. What could be the problem?

Thanks

It maybe due to the fact that excel has in built data types and column sizes attached to the columns whereas a flat file does not have that.

Try creating a table first and then map the excel columns to it to extract the records from the excel spreadsheet. When you import into a staging table, it is best to just keep the columns as varchar(255). If you have fields like remarks field that could be even bigger, you might want to customize your staging table.sql
