in this sample data should import start from column 4 and row 5 ( right under the "firstname" word)

so in the Excel Destination:
set Data access mode as SQL command,
and write this statement under SQL command text :
select f4,f5 from [Sheet2$] where index='r4'



this means that you want to import data in f4 and f5 ( these are column headers in our formatted excel file ), into Sheet2, and after row with index='r4' ( r4 is row header in our formatted excel file ).

and this will be result:
