Importing 2007 files in SQL SERVER 2008 R2

Question

Good Day,

Today i am facing this error upon importing an excel file to a databe in sql server 2008

i do not know what causes this error, i do not know if it is because the excel file is 48MB in size, or because there is a sheet where in there are 113956 rows? if so can you help me find a work around to this? i really need to import the data inside my excel file to the database. i tried selecting the 2007 version of my excel file in the dropdown box like below but it still outputs the same problem. so any help?

Thank You.

Answer 1

There are a couple of things you can try:

1. Resave the Excel file as a delimited text file - that way you can get around the MS Office driver.
2. Try cutting the Excel file in half by saving it in two different files.

Out of curiosity, how many columns does this Excel file have? I believe there is a 255 column limit.

Answer 2

我尝试重新保存文件，但不保存为CSV格式，但我发现excel文件是只读的，尽管其属性未设置为只读，但是在将excel文件保存为另一个文件后，导入现在对我有效。
