I trying to push data to sql server from excel. I'm getting a convert to number error although I'm not trying to convert anything to a number... There are no numbers in this export. Anyone know what Im doing wrong? Ive included a snapshot of the flow and the error.

I have an excel doc with the following columns:

AccountGUID

End Customer

Segment

Account

AccountGUID

In SQL Server I have:

End Customer or Department (maps to End Customer)

Segment (maps to segment)

Account (maps to account)

OneView Account (maps to AccountGuid)

ID (autoincrement rows/ primary key)

Hi @TesDA ,

I think the content of the configuration you configured in the Row Id field is problematic.

As far as I know, the Row id needs to be a field of type number, and the GUID you are using is not the expected type.

Whether you set the identifier column in the SQL table, the Update row action requires the row id to update the specified row.

If you have set a similar id column, you need to filter the rows by the relationship between the column in the Excel table and the column in the SQL table.

Configure Get rows and Filter Query to get the eligible rows and update it.

Best Regards,

For anyone checking this for help with their flow configuration:

I had an auto-incrementing primary key, which did not have a connection with the excel table. I had to delete the auto-incrementing key and making the AccountGUID the primary key.
