Unable to Import Excel files into SQL Server
For the final results screen, clicking the "error" result will bring up the actual error message.
I also noticed that the redistributable Olafhelper is not version 12.
From the following Q&A article, it would appear that a solution is to choose Excel 2016 in the drop-down.
I also noticed that the redistributable Olafhelper is not version 12.SivertSolem , indeed, because that version is out-of-support and therefore there is no public download available.
I get the same error message if I select Microsoft Excel 2016. I called M365 support & after troubleshooting, they were unable to resolve, but they did confirm that since I have M365, I shold not need to download the 2016 product.
Very disappointing
Yes, I do know that clicking on the error (when importing the flat csv file) will show the error details, however clicking on the error details that does not resolve this issue unfortunately. If you need to see this full error message:
