I have a need to import only non-hidden rows from an excel spreadsheet. When I create the package in SSIS, it imports everything. Due to the use of the data on the spreadsheet, we cannot simply delete the data.
Is there a special setting in the Excel Source or Connection manager that can be set to "only import non-hidden rows"?
Also, how do I go about setting the sheet with an index instead of the actual Sheet name? The user changes the sheet name at random, but I know I only need the first two sheets on the file.
Thanks!

No, there is no setting like this. You at the mercy of the Excel OLE DB Provider here and it doesn't possess functionality like you are requesting. You will have to filter those rows out in the pipeline.
Not sure about the sheet index problem - I don't ever use the Excel provider. I suspect you can't do that either. Perhaps try the data access forum if no-one here knows: https://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=87&SiteID=1

|||You should be able to do this with a little bit of creative vba coding in excel. You can write a macro that will copy all the data to a sheet that has a static name and link the action to an event or button. Since you can use sheet indexes and row properties in vba you can get exactly what you need, and since the sheet you're copying to has a static name you can use the excel source in SSIS to import it.
