This is a very interesting question! Well, this certainly sounds like a job for SSIS. I guess you tried that and it didn't work out, right. There are alternatives!
You can try this (I didn't try it).

Now, create a bunch of tables, dynamically, of course.
CREATE PROCEDURE sproc_BuildTable
@TableName NVARCHAR(128)
,@Column1Name NVARCHAR(32)
,@Column1DataType NVARCHAR(32)
,@Column1Nullable NVARCHAR(32)
AS
DECLARE @SQLString NVARCHAR(MAX)
SET @SQLString = 'CREATE TABLE '+@TableName + '( '+ @Column1Name +' '+ @Column1DataType +' '+ @Column1Nullable +') ON PRIMARY '
EXEC (@SQLString)
GO
Then, you convert all those Excel files to CSV files, you can easily loop through each one and bulk insert all to separate tables in SQL Server.
DECLARE @intFlag varchar
SET @intFlag = 1
WHILE (@intFlag <=5)
BEGIN
PRINT @intFlag
declare @fullpath1 varchar(1000)
select @fullpath1 = '''C:\your_path_here\test\sample' + @intFlag + '.csv'''
print(@fullpath1)
declare @cmd1 nvarchar(1000)
select @cmd1 = 'bulk insert [dbo].[sample' + @intFlag + '] from' + @fullpath1 + ' with (FIELDTERMINATOR = '','', FIRSTROW = 2, ROWTERMINATOR=''\n'')'
print(@cmd1)
exec (@cmd1)
SET @intFlag = @intFlag + 1
END
GO
FYI, to convert all Excel files in a folder to CSV files, run the script below.
Sub WorkbooksSaveAsCsvToFolder()
'UpdatebyExtendoffice20181031
Dim xObjWB As Workbook
Dim xObjWS As Worksheet
Dim xStrEFPath As String
Dim xStrEFFile As String
Dim xObjFD As FileDialog
Dim xObjSFD As FileDialog
Dim xStrSPath As String
Dim xStrCSVFName As String
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
On Error Resume Next
Set xObjFD = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
xObjFD.AllowMultiSelect = False
xObjFD.Title = "Kutools for Excel - Select a folder which contains Excel files"
If xObjFD.Show <> -1 Then Exit Sub
xStrEFPath = xObjFD.SelectedItems(1) & "\"
Set xObjSFD = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
xObjSFD.AllowMultiSelect = False
xObjSFD.Title = "Kutools for Excel - Select a folder to locate CSV files"
If xObjSFD.Show <> -1 Then Exit Sub
xStrSPath = xObjSFD.SelectedItems(1) & "\"
xStrEFFile = Dir(xStrEFPath & "*.xls*")
Do While xStrEFFile <> ""
Set xObjWB = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=xStrEFPath & xStrEFFile)
xStrCSVFName = xStrSPath & Left(xStrEFFile, InStr(1, xStrEFFile, ".") - 1) & ".csv"
xObjWB.SaveAs Filename:=xStrCSVFName, FileFormat:=xlCSV
xObjWB.Close savechanges:=False
xStrEFFile = Dir
Loop
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
Application.EnableEvents = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
In the example above, I have 5 CSV files, so I am looping through the files in the folder 5x.
You could easily load all Excel files into separate tables in Access, and then export each Access table to a separate table in SQL Server.
