Sometimes when importing an excel sheet you can get the following error: The 'Microsof.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' provider is not registered on the local machine.

This is what to do when you get above mentioned error:


Option 1: Save excel sheet as a CVS (Comma delimited) by doing the following:

  • Open excel
  • Go to File - Save as and choose place to save your document.
  • Save as type: CVS (Comma delimited) 



Option 2: Download 'Microsof.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' provider by doing the following:




  • Check both downloads. 
  • Click Next


  • Locate and double-click the .exe file. (It will usually be in your Downloads folder.)
  • A dialog box will appear. Follow the instructions to install the software.


Only one download will work on your computer, you can ignore the other one.
