Solution for Resolving the Error
Cause for the Error
This issue happens when the number of values supplied in the VALUES clause is less than the number of columns specified in an INSERT to a table using the INSERT INTO… VALUES format, as described in the error message.
The following INSERT statement, for example, will result in an error:
INSERT Into [Alpha] ( [Name], [Gender] )
select name, lastname, gerner from one
The INSERT INTO clause specifies three columns, while the VALUES clause specifies just two values, as can be seen in this INSERT INTO… VALUES statement.
Solution for Resolving the Error
To avoid this error, make sure that the number of values specified in the VALUES clause matches the number of columns specified in the INSERT INTO clause:
INSERT [dbo].[Alpha] ( [Name], [LastName], [Gender] )
select name, lastname, gerner from one
