Import 1 million row Excel to Oracle

I have an excel sheet (office 2016) with about 1 million rows  with just two fileds DocumentNo and Location ( Document No is about 10 character and  Location is about 10-15 character and many locations are blank)
The excel file is about 20MB in size.  I am trying to import to an Oracle database ( Server has 32GB RAM)  But it is not successful .      
Is there a way I can import it?

You "can" link Excel directly to Oracle using ODBC but I would save it to a CSV and use SQL*Loader.

If you have SQL Developer or Toad, I've read they can go straight from Excel to Oracle using their import features but I've never used them.

I am using Sql Developer . But it fails for huge number of rows
How exactly are you importing the data and how is it not successful?

Are the rows that aren't imported those where the Location field/column is empty?
Yes, please explain "fails".

I would save to CSV and use SQL*Loader.

Have you tried SQL Loader?  Did that work, or give you errors?  Or, did you solve this problem some other way?  Or, are you still looking for other help?
