How do I access a value of a variable in SSIS and control the flow accordingly based on its value?

Question

So I have a Foreach Loop Container that Enumerates a read Excel spreadsheet and this Foreach Loop get its User::SheetName. Can I change my flow accordingly based on the value of the User Variable User:SheetName that is dynamically valued by the Foreach Loop
Container? So if the User::SheetName is "Enrolled", I want to load that worksheet to a certain SQL Server Table using an Excel Source and OLE DB Destination and if the User::SheetName is "Engaged", I want to load its worksheet contents
to a different SQL Server Staging Table. What Task can I use to determine the value of User::SheetName or am I going to have to write a C# script to do this?
Any help and/or suggestions are GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi ITBobbyP,
According to your description, you want to read data from excel by using the Foreach Loop container with the appropriate enumerator. If that is the case, please refer to the following steps:
Inside the ADO NET enumerator, add a data flow task.
Inside the data flow task, add an Excel source.
Open the Excel source, and point to the Excel data source set up in the file enumerator.
Select one of the sheets that shows in the drop down.
Close the Excel source.
Select the Excel source.
In the properties window, copy the name of the sheet you selected. It's in the 'OpenRowset' property.
Set this as the initial string in your sheet name variable created to gather the sheet name from the ADO NET enumerator.
Select the Excel source.
In the properties window, change the 'AccessMode' to OpenRowset from Variable. This will change the property 'OpenRowset' to 'OpenRowsetVariable'.
Change the 'OpenRowsetVariable' to the variable created to hold the sheet name via the dropdown.
Open the Excel source. You should see your variable as the sheet name.
Click the 'Columns' tab to verify you can connect and mess with columns.
