Answer 1

convert your excel file format to .csv format with using save as option

Save below content in a file with .ctl extension in the D drive under folder_name folder. Before running this .ctl make sure that table should be present in your schema with the distinct column names not like in your posted image. And the column name should be match with names of .ctl file(sc_id, sal, etc). And the datatypes of your columns should be match with the data present in a .csv file. And also make sure that your table should be empty otherwise you should use truncate or append options in your .ctl file.

 LOAD DATA
    INFILE 'D:\folder_name\csvfile_name.CSV'
    BADFILE 'D:\folder_name\csvfile_name.BAD'
    DISCARDFILE 'D:\folder_name\csvfile_name.log'
    logfile 'D:\folder_name\csvfile_name.DSC'
    iNTO TABLE schema_name.table_name
    FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
    TRAILING NULLCOLS

    (
    sc_id,
    sal,
    sc_cd1,
    coll,
    sc_cd2,
    bill_mas,
   sc_cd3,
   wk_sal,
   check_bill_month,
   check_sale_wk
    ) 

Run your .ctl file in sql plus with use of below commands

sqlldr schema_name/password@databasename control=your control file path.

If any error occurs while loading data into table those will logged into .log file. For learn more about sqlloader Refer http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96652/ch05.htm
