Take an exact replica of your excel destination sheet. Make sure it has no data in either of them. Take the replica and put it in another location on your PC. Point to it in your source part of the file system task. In the file system task point to the original sheet (that is found in the excel destination) in your destination part of the file system task.

P.S:- File system task will be your first task before dataflow, you can also have a sql task if you want to create an excel in between those two, but depends on your requiremnet in my cas i didnt need it. let me know if any queries :) Cheers, Aashish you can do it in much simpler way, All you need to do is the following.
