First, Enter connection manager name and description.

Then, select column names those you want to import.



STEP 5

Configure Destination Connection: Here, I have selected "Excel Destination", as we need to import data from SQL SERVER Database to Excel file. Drag "Excel Destination" to design surface.



Now, we need to design data flow. Here we need to import data from OLEDB Source, I have dragged "Success" (Green Arrow), link to Excel Destination for column Mapping.

By default, SSIS provides mapping for columns which have same name, In this case Column Mapping is ok, so we don't need to do anything. If you want to change mapping, you can do it by just changing links between Input Columns and Destination Columns.
