    Reads the excel sheet data but unable to insert in database

    Below is my code which is used to read the excel sheet the problem is all the columns are of type string in the below code but in my database i have 4 columns of type decimal because of this i am able to readthe excel sheet but i am unable to insert the data in database which gives me this error **The given value of type String from the data source cannot be converted to type decimal of the specified target column.** in actual cs page.how can i insert the data in database

    Code for reading the excel sheet data-

    public DataTable Read(string strPath, int isheet)//,DataRow[] dr1
    {
    dt.Columns.Add("Month", typeof(string));
    dt.Columns.Add("ID", typeof(string));
    dt.Columns.Add("Client Name", typeof(string));
    dt.Columns.Add("Charges", typeof(string));
    dt.Columns.Add("Payment", typeof(string));
    dt.Columns.Add("Adjustment", typeof(string));
    dt.Columns.Add("W/O", typeof(string));
    string ID = "";
    string url = _urlConverter.getFileURLFromSystemPath(strPath, strPath);
    PropertyValue[] loadProps = new PropertyValue[0];
    XComponent xComponent = _componentLoader.loadComponentFromURL(url, "_blank", 0, loadProps);
    XSpreadsheets oSheets = ((XSpreadsheetDocument)xComponent).getSheets();
    XIndexAccess oSheetsIA = (XIndexAccess)oSheets;
    XSpreadsheet oSheet = (XSpreadsheet)oSheetsIA.getByIndex(0).Value;
    try
    {
    int iRow = 1;
    int iEmpty = 0;
    bool boolcontinue = true;
    while (boolcontinue)
    {
    DataRow drNew = dt.NewRow();
    ID = ((XText)oSheet.getCellByPosition(0, iRow)).getString();
    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(ID))
    {
    iEmpty = 0;
    int i = 0;
    for (int iCol = 0; iCol < 7; iCol++)
    {
    drNew[i] = ((XText)oSheet.getCellByPosition(iCol, iRow)).getString();
    i++;
    }
    dt.Rows.Add(drNew);
    iRow++;
    }
    else
    {
    iEmpty++;
    }
    if (iEmpty > 10)
    {
    break;
    }
    }
    }
    catch (System.Exception ex)
    {

    }
    finally
    {
    oSheet = null;
    oSheetsIA = null;
    oSheet = null;
    xComponent.dispose();
    localContext = null;
    }
    return dt;
    }

    Here is a straightforward method to export data from Excel to database, check the following link

    Hi,

    As per error details "The given value of type String from the data source cannot be converted to type decimal of the specified target column.", the root cause of this is while inserting time you have to convert appropriate datatype other wise you will get this type of error only. As per your column datatype you have to convert your string to decimal type then only you won't get this type of error.

    Convert.ToDecimal(yourstring);
    Hope this helps you..

    Hai Kavitha,
    As per the error message "**The given value of type String from the data source cannot be converted to type decimal of the specified target column.** ", looks like your data in Excel file and the table in sql server is mismatching with its type and that's the reason, it's unable to insert. You need to have the same type in both.
    The other way could be a small code where you can first get all the data of Excel file to the dataset or read through datareader and then insert to the database.
    You can follow the below snippet of code which will be helpful to you:

    Hope it will be helpful to you.

    though on conversion but still i am getting the same error can you post the complete code

  • #768887
    do not use BulkInsert class, just read the excel rows one by one create a query and add it in database, use OLEDB object to read excel sheet with out excel interop object
    see below code

    //connect with EXCEL DB
    // Connect EXCEL sheet with OLEDB using connection string
    // if the File extension is .XLS using below connection string
    //In following sample 'szFilePath' is the variable for filePath
    szConnectionString = @"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;
    "Data Source='" + szFilePath +
    "';Extended Properties=\"Excel 8.0;HDR=YES;\"";

    // if the File extension is .XLSX using below connection string
    szConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;
    "Data Source='" + szFilePath +
    "';Extended Properties=\"Excel 12.0;HDR=YES;\"";

    //read excel file
    using (OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection(connectionString))
    {
    conn.Open();
    OleDbDataAdapter objDA = new System.Data.OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter
    ("select * from [Sheet1$]", conn);
    DataSet excelDataSet = new DataSet();
    objDA.Fill(excelDataSet);
    dataGridView1.DataSource = excelDataSet.Tables[0];
    }

    You need try to add given code in your source to insert record into sql server from vb.net wpf form

    workbook.Save();
    applicationClass.Quit();
    while (Marshal.ReleaseComObject(usedRange) > 0)
    {}
    while (Marshal.ReleaseComObject(worksheet) > 0)
    {}
    while (Marshal.ReleaseComObject(workbook) > 0)
    {}
    while (Marshal.ReleaseComObject(applicationClass) > 0)
    {}
