Hi,

You can create SSIS package as import from xls(x) within using Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 driver.
But, if the Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 driver inslaled on server with MSSQL, you can use the driver directly:

SELECT *
  FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' ,  'Excel 8.0;Database=\\server\file.xlsx;HDR=Yes', 'SELECT * FROM [SheetName$]')
  WHERE NOT "Datum do" IS NULL

INSERT INTO OPENROWSET('Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' , 'Excel 8.0;Database=\\server\file.xlsx;HDR=Yes', 'SELECT * FROM [SheetName$]')
 SELECT '2017-01-12', '2017-01-13','AAA','BBB',30,'GJ'

UPDATE OPENROWSET('Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' , 'Excel 8.0;Database=\\server\file.xlsx;HDR=No', 'SELECT * FROM [SheetName$A4:A4]')
 SET F1=1111

Is there an easy way to convert Excel to csv (say, using Powershell script (but without Excel installed, so no COM automation)) or as a .NET script task?
