I am trying to import data from MS Excel (Pro Plus 2013) to SQL Server 2014. Every time I attempt to do so I get the errors below. The columns in the the table are set to nvarchar(50) while in Excel none of the columns have more than 30 characters. I have tried recreating the Excel spreadsheet over and over again, just to be sure I am doing everything right. I just can't get the data to import.
These are the errors I receive:

It looks like you're trying to import into an existing table. I would recommend starting with importing the data into a new table (for example, "tmpAgent" -- and you can delete this table later). Allow SQL Server to pick the tables size of the import, or you can set the size in the "Edit mappings" section of the import.
After you have imported the data into a new table, then create a query to move it into your Agent table.
I encountered the same error message.
Turns out I had a rogue cluster of merged cells in the excel file. I un-merged those cells, re-tried the import, and all my data were successfully imported to the excel file.

I changed the Table fields size to the text type to avoid data length problem but this did not help,please advise.
Thanks
I strongly recommend that you use a staging table. Import the table into a staging table with wide nvarchar() text fields.
If you cannot do this successfully, then the data file itself is probably corrupted.
After you have loaded into the staging table, insert the data (with appropriate conversions) into the final form (and then build indexes). It is much easier to find such problems when the data is already in a table than when trying to import it frustratingly over and over again.
I have a spreadsheet. It contains company information such as name, address, phone, email, etc. All I want to do is a flat import into SQL into a table it can create so I can do some processing on it. I'm just using MS SQL Import Wizard. I'm not using BCP.
It gets all the way to the end and gives me this error:

First of all, I have told DTS to ignore any truncation errors. The source fields are either int or nvarchar. I edit the mappings and force it to be int instead of float for the required columns. I have set the default column size to 510 from 255. For 2 columns, Directions and Notes, it has decided that the Directions is nvarchar and the Notes is nvarchar(max). I override the Directions one so that it is treated as nvarchar(max) and I can see that in the table it creates after it runs. However, when it runs it fails EVERY TIME with the above error.
I just want this data into a table. That's all. If I specify a table manually first and import, it still errors. The longest text in Directions is 978 characters long so it is hardly huge. I don't care if it truncates, I just don't want it to stop when it feels it needs to. There are 16000 rows importing and only 470 get imported before it fails.
I don't know which row fails it in the source file because strangely, DTS is not pulling the data in, in the order it is in, in the spreadsheet. Go figure. I tried overriding DTS's stupid attemtps at deciding what the column formats are by sticking 20 rows of text data in, but that still fails.
Suggestions:
If you have Visual Studio BI then develop a SSIS pack and:
1.) Try adding a branch for failed lines to redirect those. You can do that by adding a route with the red line from the excel source. After running the package, you can some analysis on the successful and failed lines.
2.) Important thing is what type of connection do you use for the SQL Server. I have a lot of issues with native SQL Client so I prefer to use ADO.NET or OLE DB connection types.
With the Wizard:
3.) Try to use type conversion
4.) Save the file to TXT then do the ETL.
I tried many things to get around this and found it alot easier to import the spreadsheet into Access and then import Access to SQL. Job done in 5 minutes.
I'm using postgresql (Pgadmin Version 1.18.0), i export three(I need only 3 tables) table(Contains Online Transaction information) data's into csv format using the query

I got perfect result using the query. Now i open the ssms(Sql Server 2008) and using the Import and Export data option i import the users.csv file to sql server 2012 by using "Flat File Service Data Source". at last while i click the Finish Button it throws the following error Messages

Please help me out. Sorry if it's vague.
Thanks in Anticipation.

Your data's size exceeds the field size. Extend the size of your address field in the target table. If you still get the error, check the "Advanced" Option in the Import and Export Wizard. You can set the OutputColumnWidth for each column there.

How can I get this working?
For these two warnings:

You should increase the column size because it looks like you have data that isn't falling within the constraints of the column.
In SQL Server Management Studio I exported a table from one database to an .xslx file, then imported it to another database on a different server. It failed to import and gave the following details:

My best guess is that QuestionID is an auto-incrementing identity field. In order to insert values into that column you'll need to specify.
SET IDENTITY_INSERT YourTable ON
Your other option if that field is an auto-increment identity is leave it out of the import/export and let the sql engine generate keys like it would for any other insert.
Without having the schema of your table in front of me a guess is as good as I can offer.
If you update your question with the structure of the table your trying to insert that might give other clues. For example, if QuestionID is a guid or something.
