This IS package needs to import an Excel file into a group of three tables in an SQL server database.
Details can be found in the attached Excel sheet.
The input Excel file will have two columns, one containing a product name and the other containing a comma delimited list of categories.
The IS package should create a new record in the Product Table for each record. The comma delimited list of category column should be then split, and a new row added into the category table for each category that is not already there.
A Many-to-Many join will connect the product and category tables by use of a ProductCategory table.
