The native Excel Source built into SSIS often has issues retrieving data on a 64-bit machine and can read the wrong data types from Excel.
The Excel Source in Task Factory can read ranged data and gives you an easy to use preview to ensure you have the right amount of data. Most importantly, it reads data out of a spreadsheet with the right data type.
Feature highlights:
Loading data into Excel can be a painful task. It's hard to control the formatting, and, often, things don't work on modern day machines in 64-bit.
The Excel Destination works natively with 64-bit machines while writing in data with the proper data types. As the destination is writing data, it can append or overwrite the existing data. It can also create an Excel table with more stylized data.
Component highlights:
The Excel Power BI Refresh Task is a control flow component that refreshes an Excel file with Power Query connections and Power Pivot tables. It's especially useful if you want to regularly refresh Excel files on a shared drive without having to purchase SharePoint.
