comment SSIS keeps force changing excel source string to float
Yes that will work but I have close to 50 excel files that I need to import and going into every excel to change the problem column to Text would take a long time. I could create a VBA macro but the problem is We will continue recieving these files with the same format... and I would like to do all the work in SSIS if possible

@Zane Thank you for your help. You were absolutely right about changing the datatype of the destination table column to accept numeric values. I changed the data type to float and it worked. Unfortunately I am importing a large number of files and I just realized that I will be needing to use NVCHAR because I have Diagnostic Codes such as V3.24 and V324.1 which I was not aware about.

I see your point now. I am going to change the datatype in sql table to numeric and see how it goes. Thanks for your help. I will post back briefly with results.
