TDP 4.2 - Object must implement IConvertible.

Toad Data Point & Toad Intelligence Central

Hi all.

I got this error “Object must implement IConvertible.” when i try to import a single sheet Excel file…

The template work perfectly with Toad 3.8 without changing anything…

In 4.2, I got the message :

Object must implement IConvertible.

Do you want to cancel the import? Click no to ignore the current error(s) and any additional errors and continue importing. Toad will not prompt you again if another error occurs.

I answer NO, and commit…

Here is the log :

Hi all.

I found the reason why :

It’s because i’m french, and nobody’s perfect ! :wink:

The excel sheet i try to import is encoded by a french release of Excel, (Windows Western European pagecode).

Unlike CSV import, where we can choose file encoding, we can’t with Excel sheets…

I just have to convert xlsx to csv before importing, then i’m able to choose good file encoding…

Is it possible to have file encoding option with Excel sheets in a next release of TDP ??

Regards…

Franck

Hi Franc,

I am glad that you found some workaround and you are able import your data. We can take a look on problem which you describe and would be really helpful for us if you can create some sample Excel file with sample data and send to me (or post here). Thanks
