by the way 1000 not really means a lot. It depends 1000 of what. 1000 of let's say two integer is easy....1000 of e.g. jpg images is much more different.

First thing you need to create a table for the excel data to import

If you are not sure about the data then create columns with data type as

SQL

VARCHAR(MAX)

or else the choose the appropriate data types as per the Value in the excel cell.

you can import this data using DTS Package for SQL Server 2000 or SSIS for SQL Server 2005 and above or else you can create a macro in excel file that will insert the data to the table and also you can do this in c# also..

You can refer SSIS
DTS
