You can query the data in the excel sheet using Open Xml
Using this instead of running Excel via interop is both faster, more stable and saves you licence costs.

I am trying to get the subscription for SSRS to send the CSV data to an existing Excel template so that the data is formatted to our excel reports and all the conditional formatting in them every morning but it's just creating a new file. How do I send the data to a specific template file?
While SSRS doesn't have built-in functionality for exporting directly to an Excel template, I have a suggestion for a workaround. Use SSRS to export the data in CSV or Excel format. Then, in the Excel template file, go to the Data menu and select Get Data > From File. This lets you use Excel's built-in Power Query functionality to reference the exported file as a data source.
One of the benefits of this approach is that to get fresh data all you need to do is overwrite the data file and then click "Refresh All" in your Excel file. You can also take advantage of the transformation functions that are available in Power Query to avoid repetitive cleanup tasks if needed.
I have created a SSIS package that reads from a CSV file (using the Flat file connection manager) and loads records into a database. I have deployed it on Azure data factory pipeline and I need to give the path of the CSV file as a parameter. I have created a azure storage account and uploaded the source file there as shown below.
Can I just give the URL of the source file for the Import file in the SSIS package settings as shown below? I tried it but it is currently throwing 2906 error. I am new to Azure - appreciate any help here.
First, you said Excel and then you said CSV. Those are two different formats. But since you mention the flat file connection manager, I'm going to assume you meant CSV. If not, let me know and I'll update my answer.
I think you will need to install the SSIS Feature Pack for Azure and use the Azure Storage Connection Manager. You can then use the Azure Blob Source in your data flow task (it supports CSV files). When you add the blob source, the GUI should help you create the new connection manager. There is a tutorial on MS SQL Tips that shows each step. It's a couple years old, but I don't think much has changed.
As a side thought, is there a reason you chose to use SSIS over native ADF V2? It does a nice job of copying data from blob storage to a database.
I am in the process of starting a project and i want to understand the best way to automate the creation of a text/CSV file containing the result of a request. And each time the database is updated, i want that file to be updated too. I'm using LibreOffice Base.
Hay,
LibreOffice Base is not going to help you in this case as it is just a GUI tool for querying a Connected DB.
I would look at getting your backend to append to a log/CSV file every time it receives a request and successfully obtains/manipulates data in the Database.
I am facing some problem with inserting data from excel file to sqlserver database table. kindly suggest me what i need to do?
i.e. i am having bulk copy of data in various excel files. from that excel files, only selected fields of data would be inserted into sqlserver database table.
how can i achieve this functionality manually.
kindly give me reference sites & suggestions.
Thanks in Advance

I would connect to the SQL Server DB via VBA from some excel workbook and browse that bulk of Excel files and insert all the data to the DB. The link below shows how to connect to the SQL Server database.
http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel-questions/617788-visual-basic-applications-connect-sql-server.html
I have created a package to fetch data from two SQL Server tables, and using merge join combined this data, then stored the result into an Excel destination.
The first time it works fine. The second time it stores repeated data in the Excel file.
How do I overwrite the Excel file rows?
Yes, Possible!
Here is the solution:
First go to your Excel Destination Click to New Button next to Name of Excel Sheet, copy the DML query inside.
Then put an Execute SQL Task into your Control Flow and connect it to your data flow that contains Excel destination. Set the Connection Type To Excel, Set the Connection to your Excel Destination's Excel Connection Manager, go to SQL Statement and type :
Drop TABLE `put the name of the sheet in the excel query you just copied`
Go
finally paste the query after it.
It is all you need to do to solve the problem.
You can refer to this link for a complete info:

Yes, Possible!
Using SSIS we can solve this problem:
first of all, crate an Excel format file (Structure Format using Excel Connection Manager) at one location as a template file. Then create a copy of that excel file using FILE SYSTEM TASK in another location and make sure that SET OverwriteDestination=True. Finally, using a data flow task, insert data into the new copied file. whenever we want insert data, it will create a copy of the template excel file and then load the data.
Unfortunately the Excel connection manager does not have a setting that allows overwriting the data. You'll need to set up some file manipulation using the File System Task in the Control Flow.
There are several possibilities, here's one of them. You can create a template file (which just contains the sheet with the header) and prior to the Data Flow Transformation a File System Task copies it over the previously exported file.
The File System Task (MSDN)
For Excel it will append data. There is no such option available for overwriting data.
You have to delete and recreate the file through the File System task.
Using a CSV file with flat-file connection manager would serve your purpose of overwriting.
The best solution for me was using File System Tasks to delete and recreate the Excel files from a template.
What I was trying to do was to send every employee a report with Excel attachment in the same format but different data. In a foreach container for each employee, I get the required data, create an Excel file and send a mail with the Excel file attached.
I first:
Create an Excel template (manually)
Create an original Excel file to be used (manually)
Then in the foreach container:
Delete the original file (SSIS File System Task )
Copy the template as the original file (SSIS File System Task)
Get the data from SQL Server and write them to the original file (SSIS Data Flow Task)
Send the mail (SSIS -> SQL Stored Procedure)
