I try to import data from exell application but i get the error message
I have data in a field is multiple datatype,
Is it possible to import from exell data when the field is multiple datatype?
if i see in preview mode, if the data in field1 contain numeric data then the result in the table are null, but if the data are not numeric like "abc" or "abc3*7" is not problem, why?

Create the table first, Make the data type all varchar. For data that you think is Numeric you can test by doing a

SELECT IsNumeric(somecolumn) FROM newTable.

Good Luck
