Excel Source Error

  • I am trying to load the data from Excel sheet and its givinge me the following error;

    [OLEDBDestination - Error: An error occurred while setting up a binding for the "Column_Name" column. The binding status was "DT_TEXT".

    Since Exel uses the forst few rows to derive the data types , i had tried to make chages in the Advanced editor and then setting the datatypes for the External columns and the output columns , but still not working.

    In Excel sheet the first rows are of String type and in the destination table they are of TextStream(varchar(max)).

    so i need to make excel source think that the datatypes are of ntext type.

    any help will be apprecited.

    Thanks

  • Can you load your data from a CSV file rather than Excel? Things will work better if you can change your source.

    Is your column really called Column_Name?

  • No i am not able to change the source.

    column_name is not the name of the column, it just mentions the name of the column that is in the source.
