Import data from Excel to SQL Server 2005 using import wizard
I need to import Excel sheet to the SQL Server 2005 table. I am using the Import Wizard. Everything is going well but I noticed that not all cells are imported. For example if I have 100 rows and all cells have data then in some columns not all the cells are inmported. I tried different formats on the cell (General and Text). It does not help. If I copy the cell that was imported to the cell that was not imported and then retype the right value, then this cell is imported.
There are too many cells to fix them manually. Can I do something like remove format and then apply some format ( i tried it and it does not work) or something else to make sure that all the data is imported
Thank you

Yes I can use it, but I doubt that it going to change the Excel Behaviour. I found an article sqldts.com/254.aspx that said that Excel deciides on dtaatype after 8 rows.

You're referring to an article that was last updated in 2005. I'd say try it out in a testdatabase and see what happens because I have serious doubts that this wouldn't be fixed in all these years.
