While using OPENROWSET in SQL Server 2005 for importing,
I have 33 columns in excel of which 32 columns are read/imported properly by openrowset function but 33rd column is read as NULL values.
It seems that 33rd columns has 1st row as 'NULL' so it considers all rows in 33rd column as 'NULL'
But if I put any value in 1st row of 33rd column it reads the appropriate values in 33rd columns.

Any suggestions on how to traet this scenario.

Note:- 33rd column is last column of my excel data

This is what I used to read

DECLARE @filename NVARCHAR(100)
DECLARE @FileLocation NVARCHAR(200)

DECLARE @SheetName NVARCHAR(100)
SET @SheetName='ResourceDemand'

SET @filename= 'Engine_Capacity_SolDelivery_New'

SET @FileLocation='H:\E4SE Resource Plan Import\'+@filename

EXECUTE ('SELECT *
FROM OPENROWSET ( ''Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'', ' + '''Excel 8.0;Database=' + @FileLocation + ';HDR=YES'', '
+ '''SELECT * FROM [' + @SheetName + '$A:AB]'') WHERE [Ready To Import]=''y'' OR [Ready To Import]=''Y''' );

I have put A:AB as the range of the columns in above query although the columns are dynamic so it could be removed

try with IMEX =1

EXECUTE ('SELECT *
FROM OPENROWSET ( ''Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'', ' + '''Excel 8.0;Database=' + @FileLocation + ';HDR=YES;IMEX=1'', '
+ '''SELECT * FROM [' + @SheetName + '$A:AB]'') WHERE [Ready To Import]=''y'' OR [Ready To Import]=''Y''' );

Thats great.
Now the Openrowset is working for column with NULL value.

Thanks Visakh.
