generated excel from SSIS but getting quote in every column?

Question

I have generated and excel from SSIS package successfully. But every column is having extra \' (quote) mark why is it so?

Answer 1

You could create a template Excel file in which you have specified all the column types (change to Text from General) and headers you will need. Store it in a /Template directory and have copy it over to where you will need it from within the SSIS package.

In your SSIS package:

1. Use Script Component to copy Excel Template file into directory of choice.
2. Programatically change its name and store the whole filepath in a variable that will be used in your corresponding Data Flow Task.
3. Use Expression Builder for your Excel Connection Manager. Set the ExcelFilePath to be retrieved from your variable.
