Are you actually using SSIS or trying to use OPENROWSET from SQL Server?

e.g.:

SELECT * INTO tblTest FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', 'Excel 12.0 Xml;HDR=YES;Database=C:\MyExcel.xlsx;', 'SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]')

Looks like data conversion errors because Excel will be treated as UNICODE. You need to check your table columns, you could try changing data types to nvarchar(max).

Or use a Bulk Insert command to import the data:

BULK INSERT #mytable
FROM 'c:\myimport.csv'

WITH
(
FIELDTERMINATOR = ',',
ROWTERMINATOR = '\n'
)

GO
