Hi All,

I am uploading the Excel file from Excel 2007 to SQL Server 2005 using OPENROWSET.
First "row" of Excel file has 38 columns of which 9 clomuns have Projectdetails and remaning as Date in incremental of 7 days.
eg:-
1st row (which would be columns after importing) is like
client | projectcode |.. 12/01/2012 | 12/08/2012 | 12/15/2012 |... 16/15/2013

The dates in excel are incremented like cell1+7,cell2+7..

So after importing i am getting 9 columns are tablename properly but the dates are imported as F1 | F2 | F3 ....F38 instead of actual dates in SQL Server table.

How can I get the dates in table after importing
Any suggestion would be helpful.

I did it by saving the excel to CSV first ,
so now the formulaes in excel are actual dates used in CSV.
it worked :)

and then used following for importing the CSV.

select * into Tablename
from openrowset ('Microsoft.JET.OLEDB.4.0','Text;Database=H:\;','select * from [csvfilename.csv]')

Can any one having other approach
As my Excel is having formulaes i cant read it using openrowset,so i converted it in CSV manually first and read the CSV.
Can I do it instead of converting it in CSV ?
