What is the error message you are getting? also, why this task is failing?

Does the excel file is having any invalid records or something?

Enable the OnError event handlers for the steps in your container, then on the event handlers pane, under variables click the icon to show system variables (a grey box with the expression X in it) and change 'Propogate' to 'False'. (It might also be a good idea to send any failed rows to a new Excel file so you can check them out). Now the loop shouldn't fail based on the contained tasks.

If you explain exactly what you're doing, what the error is caused by etc someone would be able to suggest a better solution.

Are you using the send mail task on the loop container itself? If so, you will need to attach them to the individual step(s) within the loop, as of course now the loop itself is not failing. If you have quite a few tasks within the loop, you can put all these in a sequence container, rather than attaching one to every single step. (Note that if you do this you will need to change the propagate properties back, and then set them to FALSE just for the sequence container.)

Maybe you can also use a boolean variable

You put to True when there is at least one error on the Loop Container

And check this variable outside the container to figure out whether or not sending an email alert
