Unable to pass column name which has space in between in SQL Query

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Dileep_Dili 23

Hi,

I am trying to write a query in Execute SQL statement activity by specifying a column name.

The problem which I am facing now is, since the column name has space, it is not considering as Column name.

Could you please help me to know how I can pass Column value into the Query to consider it.

I tried covering it with Single, Double quotations but unfortunately it didn't worked as expected.

    Hi @UshaJyothi20 

    I tried write excel sheet activity, but this is not writing headers while writing to new sheet or excel file.

    Any other suggestions to add headers while writing the result back.

    Thanks in Advance.

    Create a data table with headers and then append the datatable with your data to headers 

    And you can create headers manually 

    And write to 3xcel from 

    Column A 

    Row 2

    Hope this helps
