Answer 1

To clarify the solution using a Merge Join and an Excel DataSource:

You can use a Excel datasource as an input to the Merge Join transformation.

Some requirements to consider:

• Make sure that the joined columns have matching metadata
• I experienced a problem with sort order in setting up the join. You may want to either sort the data coming from the sources a sort transformation.
