Question

See more:

I have a excel file with having 6 columns, Now I need to validate the value from each cell from each column.
Eg
1.if it is a date column then i need to validate the date format and type
2.If it is a number then i need to validate it is a number or not?

Assume that i have more than 10000 rows in the excel and now i need run the validation process before i import into sql table. If validation fails than rollback the import process.

Suggest me the best way to do this.

You can do the MAPPING before you transfer the data from excel to the SQL Server thruogh SSIS.
