    Thanks for the reply and that is a good article, however it does not create the table automatically from the Excel spreadsheet. I can't create the table first as the columns will be different periods each week. Any more links or ideas anyone?

    SELECT/INTO FROM OPENROWSET using the ACE drivers. It will take some dynamic SQL after that because the columns are all dynamically named (although that's not an SSIS solution).

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
