I am importind Data from excel sheet. I am struggling with the following problems -

Executing (Error) Messages Error 0xc020901c: Data Flow Task 1: There was an error with output column “Intelligence” (21) on output “Excel Source Output” (9). The column status returned was: “Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page.”. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)

Error 0xc020902a: Data Flow Task 1: The “output column “Intelligence” (21)” failed because truncation occurred, and the truncation row disposition on “output column “Intelligence” (21)” specifies failure on truncation. A truncation error occurred on the specified object of the specified component. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)

Error 0xc0047038: Data Flow Task 1: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_PRIMEOUTPUTFAILED. The PrimeOutput method on component “Source – MainSheetData$” (1) returned error code 0xC020902A. The component returned a failure code when the pipeline engine called PrimeOutput(). The meaning of the failure code is defined by the component, but the error is fatal and the pipeline stopped executing. There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the failure. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)

Please help me in this.

Thanks

Can you please give me a better suggestion.
Msg 7403, Level 16, State 1, Line 5
The OLE DB provider “Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0″ has not been registered.

I did not uninstall or reinstall anything. All I did was (from what I saw in the other posts):

sp_configure ‘show advanced options’, 1;
GO
RECONFIGURE;
GO
sp_configure ‘Ad Hoc Distributed Queries’, 1;
GO
RECONFIGURE;
GO
EXEC master.dbo.sp_MSset_oledb_prop N’Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0′, N’AllowInProcess’, 1
GO
EXEC master.dbo.sp_MSset_oledb_prop N’Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0′, N’DynamicParameters’, 1
GO

VBS:
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET(‘Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0′ …..

AND IT WORKS NOW….
