Oracle sql developer import .xls data for table

Question

When I import data from .xls how come it doesn't show me an message when the import is done? How do i know when it is done? How come I don't see all the rows. When I do a select count(*) from table I come up with different numbers every time I do it.
Once I do create the table with the data how do I generate the scripts for it. I was able to get the scripts to create the table ->table->Right click -> Export ddl .
But how do I get the script for the "Insert statements"

Answer 1

Hesh,
The numeric value of 39057 in an Excel cell does display as 06-Dec-2006 when applying a date format DD-Mon-YYYY, so you are getting the right value - just not the right formatting.
Which column type are you trying to import the XLS date into? If you are not loading the value into a date field, SQL Developer is probably just loading the base excel value of 39057.
