Answer 1

use this code for that,

DimobjEXCELCon As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=EXCLE_FILE_PATH;Extended Properties=""Excel 12.0 Xml;HDR=Yes""")
ExcelConnection.Open()

Dim objQuery As String = "SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]" 'get values from sheet1, here you can change your sheet name

Dim objCMD As OleDbCommand = New OleDbCommand(objQuery,objEXCELCon)
Dim objDR As OleDbDataReader

Dim SQLconn As New SqlConnection()
Dim szCON As String = "Connection string for database"
SQLconn.ConnectionString = szCON
SQLconn.Open()


Using bulkCopy As SqlBulkCopy = New SqlBulkCopy(SQLConn)
bulkCopy.DestinationTableName = "TableToWriteToInSQLSERVER"

 Try
  objDR = objCMD.ExecuteReader
  bulCopy.WriteToServer(objDR)
  objDR.Close()
  SQLConn.Close()

 Catch ex As Exception
  MsgBox(ex.ToString)
 End Try
