The indicated ColumnName 'Data_Mov' does not match any column data source

Trying to import some excel data to sql database, and they have different column names, cause the excel file has special characters and etc...
and I have always this error...
Here's the code:
{
string excelPath = Server.MapPath("~/Nova pasta/") + Path.GetFileName(FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName);
string filepath = Server.MapPath("~/Nova pasta/") + Path.GetFileName(FileUpload1.FileName);
string filename = Path.GetFileName(filepath);
FileUpload1.SaveAs(excelPath);
string ext = Path.GetExtension(filename);
String strConnection = #"Data Source=PEDRO-PC\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=costumizado;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=sa;Password=1234";
string excelConnectionString = #"Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" + filepath + ";Extended Properties=\"Excel 12.0 Xml;HRD=NO;IMEX=1;\"";
OleDbConnection excelConnection = new OleDbConnection(excelConnectionString);
OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand("Select * from [rptListaMovs_4$]", excelConnection);
excelConnection.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter("Select * from [rptListaMovs_4$]", strConnection);
OleDbDataReader dReader;
dReader = cmd.ExecuteReader();
using (SqlBulkCopy sqlBulk = new SqlBulkCopy(strConnection))
{
sqlBulk.DestinationTableName = "Dado";
sqlBulk.ColumnMappings.Add("Data_Mov", "Data Mov.");
sqlBulk.ColumnMappings.Add("Data_Valor", "Data Valor");
sqlBulk.ColumnMappings.Add("Descricao_do_Movimento", "Descrição do Movimento");
sqlBulk.ColumnMappings.Add("Valor_em_EUR", "Valor em EUR");
sqlBulk.WriteToServer(dReader);
}
excelConnection.Close();
}
Error Line:
sqlBulk.ColumnMappings.Add("Data_Mov", "Data Mov.");
I Hope that you guys can help me

in C# using oledb connection string how to Convert Scientific Notation to text strings?

I have a set of data that is downloaded as a Excel file using OLEDB connection string like so:
4552
3.00E+03
3.00E+22
3F45
3.00E+99
DD56677
37
Excel automatically thinks that 3E03, 3E22 and 3E99 are numbers and makes them look like above..
how to get it as a string ?
my code is
DataTable dataTable = new DataTable();
strExcelConn = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;"
+ "Data Source=" + strFilePath + ";"
+ "Extended Properties='Excel 8.0;HDR=" + header + ";IMEX=1;TypeGuessRows=0;ImportMixedTypes=Text'";
OleDbConnection connection = new OleDbConnection(strExcelConn);
using (OleDbCommand command = new OleDbCommand())
using (OleDbDataAdapter adapter = new OleDbDataAdapter(command))
{
command.Connection = connection;
//Check if the Sheet Exists
connection.Open();
DataTable dtExcelSchema;
//Get the Schema of the WorkBook
dtExcelSchema = connection.GetOleDbSchemaTable(OleDbSchemaGuid.Tables, null);
connection.Close();
connection.Open();
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
string SheetName = dtExcelSchema.Rows[0]["TABLE_NAME"].ToString();
command.CommandText = "SELECT * From [" + SheetName + "]";
adapter.SelectCommand = command;
adapter.Fill(dataTable);
connection.Close();
}
please can any one help me to get this colum as a string

Have a look at this StackOverflow question entitled How to convert a string containing an exponential number to decimal and back to string.
They use the decimal.Parse(someMoneyVar, NumberStyles.Any) method to do the conversion.

Select Excel Columns by name in your query and cast your required columns to a string using CStr(<columnName>)

OleDBException when reading an open excel file

I have an excel file and an oledb connection to it. When reading data while file is opened in windows, it throws the following error (at Adapter.Fill method).
However, the code runs fine when file is not opened manually.
private System.Data.DataSet GetExcelData()
{
// Create new DataSet to hold information from the worksheet.
System.Data.DataSet objDataset1 = new System.Data.DataSet();
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
try
{
string path = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ExcelFilePath"];
//string connectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" + path + ";Extended Properties=Excel 12.0;";
string connectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" + path + ";Extended Properties=\"Excel 12.0 Xml;HDR=YES;IMEX=1;\"";
OleDbConnection objConn = new OleDbConnection(connectionString);
objConn.Open();
//String strConString = "SELECT * FROM [Data Version5.2$A2:ZZ] where [Status] = 'aa'";//Status
String strConString = "SELECT * FROM [Data Version5.2$A2:ZZ] where [Status] IS NULL OR [Status]='SubReport'";//Status SubReport
OleDbCommand objCmdSelect = new OleDbCommand(strConString, objConn);
OleDbDataAdapter objAdapter1 = new OleDbDataAdapter();
// Pass the Select command to the adapter.
objAdapter1.SelectCommand = objCmdSelect;
// Fill the DataSet with the information from the work sheet.
objAdapter1.Fill(objDataset1, "ExcelData");
objConn.Close();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw ex;
}
return objDataset1;
}
The error message is

Assuming you don't need to write to the file, try adjusting your connection string to include the read only mode (Mode=Read). I have that in all of mine (where I don't need to write to the file) and I've never had a problem reading from workbooks that are already open:
string connectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" +
path + ";Mode=Read;Extended Properties=\"Excel 12.0 Xml;HDR=YES;IMEX=1;\"";
I also don't tend to read Excel files as XML, so the Extended Properties for my connection strings are Excel 12.0;HDR=YES;IMEX=1;

Error when opening dbf file: External table is not in expected format

I'm using the code below to import a dbf file.
But I am getting an error:
'External table is not in expected format'
if (ofdDBF.ShowDialog()==DialogResult.OK)
{
string connStr = #"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + ofdDBF.FileName.Substring(0, ofdDBF.FileName.LastIndexOf("\\")) + ";Extended Properties=dBASE IV;";
OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection(connStr);
conn.Open();
string cmd_string = "select * from " + ofdDBF.SafeFileName.Substring(0, ofdDBF.SafeFileName.IndexOf("."));
MessageBox.Show(cmd_string);
OleDbDataAdapter da = new OleDbDataAdapter(cmd_string, conn);
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
da.Fill(ds);
dgvImport.DataSource = ds.Tables[0];
}
Any help?

Same problem (on 64Bit Systems), solution
Download: http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/f/b/bfbfa4b8-7f91-4649-8dab-9a6476360365/VFPOLEDBSetup.msi
string connString = #"Provider=vfpoledb;Data Source=C:\Directory;Collating Sequence=machine;";
using (OleDbConnection con = new OleDbConnection(connString))
{
con.Open();
OleDbCommand command = new OleDbCommand("Select * from Table.DBF", con);
OleDbDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader();
...
}

When dealing with data sources for dBase/FoxPro, the source typically refers to EITHER a Database name, or just the path.
Once that is opened, you can just do
select * from YourTable
(no .dbf file name suffix required in the query. It will resolve itself by looking in the path or the connected database).

Syntax error when opening an Excel workbook using C#

When I try to open an Excel workbook I get a syntax error. Here is the code I'm using:
string connectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;"
+ "Data Source=" + fileName + ";"
+"Extended Properties=\"Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1\";";
OleDbConnection objConn = new OleDbConnection(connectionString);
OleDbCommand objCommand = new OleDbCommand(#"SELECT * FROM Sheet1$", objConn);
OleDbDataAdapter odjAdp = new OleDbDataAdapter();
odjAdp.SelectCommand = objCommand;
DataTable dt1 = new DataTable();
odjAdp.Fill(dt1);
GridView2.DataSource = dt1;
GridView2.DataBind();
Why is this happening?

Because of the dollar symbol that sheet name needs to be escaped, enclose it in square brackets;
#"SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]"
