Ok I've been able to reproduce your problem and also import data successfully.

I created a table like this, which I hope is similar to your table:

SQL

create table Book1
(
	id int identity(1,1),
	CompanyName varchar(20),
	Segment varchar(20),
	CustomerSegment varchar(20)

)

In my spreadsheet I had

CompanyName Segment CustomerSegment
Co1	    seg1	cs1
Co2	    seg2	cs2

which I hope is similar to your spreadsheet structure.

I then followed the Import wizard steps but ensured that the "Enable Identity Insert" checkbox was not ticked.

The rows from my spreadsheet were all inserted into the table successfully
