What does the "Data Conversion" error message mean when trying to import data into SQL Server 2005?

that means the datatype of source and destination fields are different or there exists values in fields which cant be implicitly converted to destination type.

This is a very common question.

It can be for example:
Source column has '1-2-3' destination column is INT.
SQL trys to convert '1-2-3' to INT and this is not possible --> error
