JasonA -
I'm not quite there yet on my skillset. I have tested a few SSIS import packages (for other purposes) but they stopped working after our IT department reimaged my workstation. The difficulty I had with my previous SSIS packages is that our SQL 2016 server is remotely hosted at Microsoft's Azure site. I cannot get our IT vendor to budge on setting up a VPN tunnel to Azure and joining our SQL Server to our local domain. So I have no AD authentication. It's extremely irritating at times to have to do everything with SQL Authentication, but I digress...
I had been removing the previous tables just because it was easier and I am, again, just not there yet with my skillset. I'm able to produce the results needed for our team on a daily basis, but the time to learn is not always there and usually just on getting done what I need done quickly. I'll get there, it's probably going to take years. 🙂 But in theory the headers on the source tables should be consistent each month, but one vendor did alert us that there were some changes coming up later this year.
