You have to provide a value for the UniqueIdentifier field. If this is a one time thing you may want to remove the column, do the import, and add it back. Or you can generate values in the Excel file and import them in. Or just take off the identity and allow null and then set it back.

You can either generate random ID in the Excel file or get rid of the identity. From my experience, I would choose the first one, especially interact with the costoms. But you d better to feed back the generated ID to them.
