I need to import data from the excel. Data in one column of my excel contains both the alphanumeric and numeric only. But numeric only cell value can't be read. I mean only null value is entered in the db's table field. Guide me to fix it. I'm using VS2005 , C# , SQL server 2000.

1) Start by reading the excel file
2) foreach value in the column check if this value is numeric

you could use something like this:

C#

public bool isNumeric(string val, System.Globalization.NumberStyles NumberStyle)
{
    Double result;
    return Double.TryParse(val,NumberStyle,
		System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture,out result);
}

3)afterwards you can process the value depending on if it's numeric or not
