“===================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ‘Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.16.0’ provider is not registered on the local machine. (System.Data)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

To fix this,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First thing first, install “Microsoft Access Database Engine 2016 Redistributable.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/download\/details.aspx?id=54920<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then also check the version of Excel and SSMS. They need to be same, like 32 vs 32 or 64 vs 64<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SSMS is a 32 bit client, if your Microsoft Excel is 64 bit. you may need to install the 64 bit version of the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2016 Redistributable<\/a> and try opening – the 64-bit  “SQL Server Import and Export Data” directly. Go to Start Menu -> Microsoft SQL Server 2017( your SQL server version) ->  SQL Server  Import and Export Data (64-bit)> Open the application and try to import data using the “Excel 2016” option, it should work fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another solutions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tips 1, use csv instead of xls<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I did is I converted the excel file into a csv file (comma delimited) , then I used the option Data Source “Flat File Source” and it recognized the comma separated fields as columns and created a Table. I also uninstalled the redistributable to keep my machine clean. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tips 2, use \/quite option to install 32bit ACE <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I downloaded Microsoft Access Database Engine 2016 Redistributable<\/a>.  I reinstalled 64-bit version.  I had no problem since I already had Office 64-bit installed.  But, SSMS Import did not work probably for being 32-bit app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I downloaded 32-bit distributable separately.  I tried to run it, but it complained that I already have 64-bit installed.  I ran it from the command prompt in \/quiet mode.  It installed.  SSMS import worked on Excel 2016 file now.  I did not need even to restart SSMS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
