Answer 1

One of the data columns in the excel (Column Id 6) has one or more cell data that exceed the datacolumn datatype length in the database.

Verify the data in excel. Also verify the data in the excel for its format to be in compliance with the database table schema.

To avoid this, try exceeding the data-length of the string datatype in the database table.

Hope this helps.
