I have set up a package to export data to an Excel spreadsheet. The package gets the data to the appropriate Worksheet, but the data is entered immediately below the named Excel range in which I want to put the data.

I'm using a Transform Data Task in which my SQL Server database is the source, and the Excel spreadsheet is the destination. I created a named range in Excel, and I found and selected that range when I configured the Transform Data Task. So why is this happening?

Hmm. Yeah, I've seen this before. I think it's when the sheet in excel has been used. If you copy in a fresh, empty .xls file that you can use as a template into whereever it needs to be before the extract then your data should end up in the correct place. But if you have any data in the sheet beforehand - even if it is then deleted - the export will output after the old data rows.

Interesting. Thanks for the info, I'll try it out later today.

In the meantime, what I ended up doing was to create a range of two rows. I hid the second row, and now I can make it look the way I want it to.
