Hi I am trying to export some data to excel file using SSIS. But when I reached the "Create Table" screen in Excel Destination component, after I have enter my script, the system prompt me the error message as title above. Below are my script in "Create Table" screen:

SQL

CREATE TABLE componentReport(
WorkNumber VARCHAR(20),
UnitDateEnd DATETIME2(3),
UnitDateCreated DATETIME2(3),
UnitId BIGINT,
Track INT,
SupplierName VARCHAR(50),
Stage INT
)

What I have tried:

Changed the VARCHAR into String/TEXT but the same, removed any possible brackets.

VARCHAR, DATETIME2, BIGINT and INT do not exist as Excel Destination data types.

See the documentation - Excel Destination[^]

Try

SQL

CREATE TABLE componentReport(
WorkNumber NVARCHAR(20),
UnitDateEnd DATETIME(3),
UnitDateCreated DATETIME(3),
UnitId LONG,
Track INTEGER,
SupplierName NVARCHAR(50),
Stage INTEGER
)

Alternatively try exporting to a CSV or XML rather than an Excel Binary - from memory the Excel drivers were a bit flaky
