Load multiple excel files with different structure
Hello Everyone,
I have three excel files with different structures. See below.
Table : 1
AuditID TransactionID Date Name XXX XYZ
Table : 2
AuditID TransactionID Date Name YYY
Table : 3
AuditID TransactionID Date Name ZAAA ZBBB ZCCC
Output
AuditID TransactionID Date Activity Activity_Value
The Activity column has all the non-matched column names from the above 3 tables, the Activity_Value column has the values of it.
How do i achieve this? The structure of the excel files will be changed on a daily basis.
With SSIS foreachloop, we can't achieve this because of non-matched columns of all the excel files. Any other solution for this?
Thanks in advance,
Pradeep
Hi Anonymous,
In your scenario, as these tables will have the same columns: AuditID TransactionID Date Name. You can append these tables, then use Unpivot Columns feature based on columns AuditID TransactionID Date Name.
