Solution: Opening a rowset for “Sheet1$” failed

I’d say you need to set ‘DelayValidation’ for your Excel destination to True.

It validates the connection at the start whether you run it or not.

 

I definitely get your error ‘opengin a rowset’ error if I rename the destination sheet or the destrination file.
