DateTime format mismatch on importing from Excel Sheet

Question

I\'m importing data from an Excel sheet on to a DataTable using the following code:

OleDbConnection con = new OleDbConnection(\"Provider=Microso         


        

Answer 1

How many rows do you have, and are all the cells in the date column valid dates? Sometimes the OleDB routines will incorrectly identify a column as text if there is some inconsistency in the cells in the first 8 rows. (8 is the default number of rows that is read to determine data types)
