    If the SQL Server 2022 Import Wizard is missing the Microsoft Excel option, it is likely due to the version of the wizard you are using. The providers for Excel are typically 32-bit, and if you are running the 64-bit version of the wizard, the Excel option may not be visible. To resolve this issue, you should run the 32-bit version of the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard instead.

    Additionally, ensure that you have the necessary connectivity components for Excel installed, as they are not included by default. If you need to install these components, refer to the relevant documentation for guidance.
