I am trying to import data from Excel to a table in an SQL database. One of the column's is a PriKey with a unique number. How do I get the import from Excel using SSIS to auto generate the next number in the column, so that every import of data has a unique number per row inserted.

If the primary key column is an Identity column, then do nothing. Don't map a source column to it. It will increment on its own.

Sorted, I had let the enable identity update in the mapping on after removing the column for importing. Thanks
