If you already have the same File Excel and SQL Server table then follow the step below for how to Import Data Excel To SQL Server
1. Right Click to the database where you want to import the database
2. Choose a Microsoft Excel as data source then browse the file, then click next
Note: in my experience, SQL server 2005 only can read Microsoft Excel data with MS Office 2003 and the old version (xls). When I try to browse the file which is using Excel 2007 (xlsx), it doesn’t work.
3. Choose SQL server Native Client as destination, then click next
4. Choose copy data from one or more tables or views, then click next
5. In Source, tick mark the sheet where you put excel data and in destination choose the table in SQL server, click next and finish
