Hi,
I want to import data from excel (1.2 million rows in 1 sheet) to SQL Server 2014 database. I am using SQL Server 2014 Import Export Data functionality and getting this error - unexpected unrecoverable error. 3 buttons beside it - abort, retry, ignore - all having the import export to close.
But I could successfully import data from excel file having less rows (150000 rows). Can anyone help me with this error?

Thanks,
Mavericky

I don't see how that many rows fit into an Excel worksheet when the maximum is 1048576. Split your worksheet up.
