To import data into SQL Server from Microsoft Excel, you can follow these steps:

Step-by-Step Guide:
Prepare Your Excel File:

Ensure your Excel file is clean and formatted properly. Save it as an .xlsx or .csv file.

Open SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS):

Download and install SSMS if you don't have it. Open SSMS and connect to your SQL Server instance using your login credentials.

Create a Database or Select an Existing Database:

Right-click on the "Databases" folder in SSMS and choose "New Database" to create a new one, or select an existing database.

Use the Import Data Wizard:

Right-click on the database, select "Tasks," then "Import Data." This will open the Import Data Wizard.

Choose Your Data Source:

In the wizard, select "Microsoft Excel" from the data source dropdown. Browse to find your Excel file and select it.

Configure Your Destination Information:

Specify the target SQL Server database and table. You can either create a new table or use an existing one for your data.

Map the Columns Correctly:

Ensure each column in your Excel file maps to the corresponding column in the SQL Server table. This prevents data mismatches1.

Run the Import Process:

Click "Finish" in the Import Data Wizard. Review your settings and click "Finish" to start the import. The wizard will show you the progress and any errors that occur.

Verify the Imported Data:

Open your SQL Server database and check the table to ensure all data has been imported correctly.
