I have 4 excel files in a single folder. 2 have single sheets with the same name and the other 2 have 2 sheets each (the sheet i want data from have same names).
- I used a ForEach loop in SSIS to iterate over all the files in the folder.
- I assigned the initial path to a variable i.e. ExcelFilePath.
- I configured this variable in my loop container so it can hold the path to all the files in the folder.
- I've passed this variable as an expresson in Excel File Path property in my Excel Connection Manager string.
This is the design of my project:
However, when I execute the package, only the first data flow object i.e. for Branches gets executed successfully. I figure this is because its path is hardcoded in my variable. All other data flow objects fail.
Execution Result:
Logs:
Error: 0xC004701C at COUNTRY_INFO, SSIS.Pipeline: OLE DB
Destination.Inputs[OLE DB Destination Input].Columns[COUNTRY_CODE] has

I've set DelayValidation to True for each component. RetainSameConnection is False in the Connection string Properties.
EDIT: Tried adding a sequence container with Precedence Constraint arrows so the path is only redirect to the respective DFT. Delay Validation is set to True for all components.

Please note that ExcelFilePath variable set for BRANCHES path initially. Also, I've tested the container through a Script Task and it is indeed looping over all the paths in the folder.

A data flow works based on the design-time premise that the source data which exactly conforms to the design-time value will be loaded super fast and shoved into this destination which also match the design-time value.
SSIS cannot be a generic source to destination engine. It's not how the product is designed.
A step that happens in every package execution every time is Validation. The goal of the validation step is to fail early if something does not meet the contract upon which data flows were built.
You can change the validation to occur on package start to on task start. That way, if you are pulling data from a source that is created in a precursor step, the package will run validation only when the task begins.
What is happening here is that the one Excel connection manager you have is valid for the first Data Flow Task but invalid for the remainder. To get around this, you need to instruct SSIS to wait to validate.
With all of that said, to make your design work as intended:
Now, those 5 changes are not enough to make your process work. Because when the Branches file is found, the COUNTRY_INFO data flow is still going to fire and the metadata does not match.
To rectify this, you need to have a precursor task that does nothing but simply serves as an anchor point. I find Sequence Container to work nicely here
Notice that the green connector has a little f(x) between the sequence container and the data flow tasks. That's because I have changed the Evaluation operation to "Expression and Constraint".
The constraint is the final piece of the puzzle. You need to make this condition true when the name matches whatever the data flow is.
Let's assume that the words in your data flow exist in the file name which is surfaced in the Foreach Enumerator into variable @[User::ExcelFilePath]
The expression for BRANCHES would be something like
That is: Cast the value of Excel File Path to all upper case. If the also-all-uppercase word BRANCHES is in the file path, the FindString method will return a number starting at 1 or greater. If the number from FindString is non-zero, then TRUE, otherwise, it's false
Repeat this pattern for each branch.
What happens is that the path will only light up when the expected file is enumerated (and then validate). Wrong file paths won't light up and therefore won't fail validation.
Edit to address the updated question
The Design data flow shows you have broken components I would not expect execution to succeed.
