why does Foreach Loop container of SSIS Package read same file!?

Question

Hi

I've created SSIS package to import data from multiple excel files in a folder. The package is working fine but it reads the first excel file and repeat this operation according number of excel files in the folder, for example : if there 10 excel files the package will read the first excel file 10 times.

what is wrong with that?

Answer 1

what is wrong with that?

Without having the package to look it up, I can only guess: The flat file connection manager still uses one fix filename instead the file name parameter from the ForEach loop. In "connections manager => Properties => Expression" check if the file name variable is assigned to property "ConnectionString"

Answer 2

Hi @Abdullah Saad Alshehri ,

1. Could you please share the screenshots of your SSIS package?
2. Please check if you set the Excel File Path property using expression in the properties of Excel Connection Manager.
   Please refer to the following pictures:
   
   
   
   

Best Regards,
Mona
