Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page including the primary key in an unpivot

I know this is an old question. The way I solved it – after failing by increasing the length or even changing to data type text – was creating an XLSX file and importing. It accurately detected the data type instead of setting all columns as varchar(50). Turns out nvarchar(255) for that column would have done it too.
