Excel Source Plus: How to modify the source region dynamically at runtime

The source region is available in the data flow properties list. Follow these steps to set up an expression:

  • Create a variable that can be loaded with the desired region. The variable should be a string and the order should be: start column, start row, end column, end row. '-1' means read all the columns or rows.
  • Right-click on the data flow canvas and select the Properties menu.
  • Scroll down and find the properties in the group called Misc.
  • Note the name of the property you want to modify dynamically at runtime. It will be named something like this: [Excel Source Plus].[Region]. This is the property containing the region. The format of this parameter is: Start column, Start row, Number of columns, Number of rows.
  • Scroll down and find the Expressions property. Set up an expression for the property noted above using a variable to modify it dynamically at runtime.
