Error in retrieving data from Excel File

Question

I have an excel file. I wanted to pull the data from excel file to SQL Server table. And the data is successfully transferred.In the excel file, I removed a text from one column named "Risk" from one row.The text was lengthy one.now the package execution fails at the source ie from the excel file. The errors are shown as

"[Audit [1]] Error: There was an error with output column "Risk" (100) on output "Excel Source Output" (9). The column status returned was: "DBSTATUS_UNAVAILABLE"."

and

"[Audit [1]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_INDUCEDTRANSFORMFAILUREONERROR. The "output column "Risk" (100)" failed because error code 0xC0209071 occurred, and the error row disposition on "output column "Risk" (100)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component. There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the failure."

the error occurs when I remove this particular text from this row and when I clear the whole data except the column names and reenter a new data. And even if I replace the excel file with the same name and same column names but with different data.

Answer 1

Make sure that the excel is closed before you run the SSIS package. Plus try refreshing the meta data by opening the SSIS package, going to the columns section in the source and destination data flow items. There seems to be no other problems or you have described/observed it in the wrong way.
