title: Automate import of .xls file into SQL Server Express database
body: <p>I need to import a daily report into an SQL Server database.</p>
  
  <p>I get the daily report in <strong>.xls</strong> format, I can manually go into SQL Server Management Studio and import the excel file but it isn't ideal to do this everyday. I am only using SQL Server Express so don't have the option to save the import.  </p>
