Hi, Please try to convert the data to text type in excel sheet and save it and then upload it. Thanks

Abe Garba · Answer

I mean you just 'CHANGE'

Abe Garba · Answer

You can just the field format by highlighting the data contains in the field then change the format to text (in Excel) Save the file then try to upload the file again, it will work!

Hi kavya, I saw values you posted.It happens because of formating problems like .(dot) cooma or other escape character cuming .i had gone through same problem once. so i had adjusted values by formating using single quote ,double quotes according to need. so you have to do formating,you not mention which column is going null....i think its Description One......Right? if i was able to get your excel as it is ,it was easy for me to fetch problem....still u can try formating values which are going null...... or try to reply with rar file.......i copy pasted it in excel but not getting in proper format........... Thanx,i hope you will come to solve it Pravin.

Hi Please refer this link for more information http://developer.mimer.com/documentation/html_92/Mimer_SQL_Mobile_DocSet/Syntax_Rules4.html

Priya Linge · Answer

Hi, Please try this, varchar: the varchar data type holds alphanumeric data; just like char but with flexible size, you just set the maximum number of characters, maximum size is 8,000 character. nvachar: it's defined in samilier way to varcar but it uses unicode.Hope this will help you. E.g : create table chkdata (alphavalues nvarchar(100),Id int identity(1,1)) insert into chkdata values('tyty5756765') select * from chkdata O/P : alphavalues Id B06H8J9 1 tyty5756765 2 Hope this will help you. Thanks.

Prabhu Raja · Answer

Hello Kavya, varchar is datatype for storing alphanumeric values. I think, you can't get output because of some other reasons. can you show you table structure.
