    Or use a SSIS package (it's a ETL tool), which is close to the Import/Export wizard, but more flexible in functionallity.

    I run a stored procedure of the table using administrator account from Management Studio to openrowset the excel data into the sql table but encountering this error.
    Please advise.
    I have already installed the microsoft access database engine 2010 on the db server.

    The 32-bit OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" cannot be loaded in-process on a 64-bit SQL Server.
