On which machine is the "C:\DataIssue.xlsx" file? The SQL Server or somewhere else? If it's NOT on the SQL Server itself, then you need to define a share where the file is an use a UNC to connect to the spreadsheet. If it IS on the server, then I strongly suggest you pick some other directory other than the root of the most important drive on the entire server. I'm not even sure that SQL Server can see the root of the server's C: Drive without granting it some permissions, which you should not. Certainly, I would not give individuals privs to the root of the C: Drive.
