Question

Cannot insert the value null into
column
‘COLUMN1′,table’DB1.dbo.table1’;Column
does not allow nulls. Insert fails.the
statement has been terminated.

This always shows if edit or save another data onto excel columns.

 using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("Insert into dbo.Table1 Select * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Excel 8.0;Database="+ filepath + ";HDR=YES','SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]')", conn))

Is there a best way to handle this….

Answer 1

Did you try an SQL Statement like this:

INSERT INTO Table1 SELECT ISNULL(YourColumn, GETDATE()) FROM OPENROWSET(...)

GETDATE() is only one of many options. If your column does not support NULL values, you have to provide another value.
