Hi! Yes, those steps I explained below the comments are for one table, but if you are looking to add data for multiple tables what you can do is: Instead of importing the excel to a table in SQL, import it into a Temp table on SQL server. Then you will be able to write a query which retrieves all the data from the Temp table, to make joins it to the other tables and then inserts into those tables if you have a relational database. OR multiple excel You can use SSIS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAJUt65_Tcs

1) Make sure your spreadsheet is clean and all columns align to the correct data (Make sure there are no strings of data out of place). 2) Create a Database or existing Database, avoid to use the system databases. 3) right click on the base, choose: Task - Import Flat File and follow the instructions. For existing Tables: 1) Make sure your spreadtsheet matches columns names and datatype from SQL Table 2) right click on the databse where your existing tables is and choose Task- Import data. 3) Export wizard, click next and choose your data source: Microsoft Excel and upload your file. 4) Follow instructions
