I'd like to know which are the best practise to easily manipulate excel files.I need to do only simple actions: create new file, add new sheets, populate cells from a dataset and add calculate cell.Is there something build-in visual studio or have I to use some third part tools?
i'm trying to read an excel file and get data on a row by row basis. Since after converting the pdf file into an excel file, the formatting went a bit haywire but if read row by row, i'm still able to retrieve the original data.
As I am unable to generate the excel file using a single worksheet, i have multiple sheets in the excel file. I also need help on reading multiple sheets.
Currently i am onli able to get data via columns but due to the formatting going haywire, i gave up on it.
I am creating an site where a user uploads an excel file to check if any of the records exist in a database. Then they are returned an excel file with only the records that are NOT in the database. I was thinking I should do it this way1. User uploads their excel file. The app opens excel file and loads records into a dataset (so far this is working with the code below)2. Using datarow and another function to check if each excel record exists in the database3 If the record does NOT exist, and it is the first record tested, create an excel file called records.xlsx and write the record into the file
4. Check the next record and if it does NOT exist in the database, then check if records.xlsx already exists then open it and write it into it.
[Code]....
Hopefully its clear, sorry if its not, I'm a bit of a novice at this. Is this a good way to do it? Does anyone know of any tutorials that might outline how to open an existing file and write to it?

I want to fetch data from a excel sheet. Can anyone tell me how we can acheive this I also want to edit that data and then again place it on excel sheet.
If I use Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 to retreive for example named range or sheet from Excel and use it as data source for some server control on the ASP page, everything works fine. But when I try to get table from Excel like this: "select * from [Table1]", debugger complains that database engine could not find object Table1. So how should I reference Table1 in Excel file so that the database engine could find it?
string strFileName = FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName; string connectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" + "Data Source=" + strFileName + ";" + "Extended Properties=Excel 8.0;"; OleDbConnection objConn = new OleDbConnection(connectionString); objConn.Open(); String strConString = "SELECT * FROM [Product Classification 5$]"; //where date = CDate('" + DateTime.Today.ToShortDateString() + "')"; OleDbCommand objCmdSelect = new OleDbCommand(strConString, objConn); // Create new OleDbDataAdapter that is used to build a DataSet // based on the preceding SQL SELECT statement. OleDbDataAdapter objAdapter1 = new OleDbDataAdapter(); // Pass the Select command to the adapter. objAdapter1.SelectCommand = objCmdSelect; // Create new DataSet to hold information from the worksheet. DataSet objDataset1 = new DataSet(); objAdapter1.Fill(objDataset1, "ExcelData");
but in it doesnt read the Description data of 20 & 30 because somebody said if the first cell value is string type then all the column should be string but in mycase its coming as mixed(alpha & numeric), so that it cant read the data, i tried to convert the column as Text then also the same problem continues,
Im reading some data from the excel file, using below code
objBusy = new BusinessLogic(); string strFileName = FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName; string connectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" + "Data Source=" + strFileName + ";" + "Extended Properties=Excel 8.0;"; OleDbConnection objConn = new OleDbConnection(connectionString); objConn.Open(); String strConString = "SELECT * FROM [Product1$]"; //where date = CDate('" + DateTime.Today.ToShortDateString() + "')"; OleDbCommand objCmdSelect = new OleDbCommand(strConString, objConn); // Create new OleDbDataAdapter that is used to build a DataSet // based on the preceding SQL SELECT statement. OleDbDataAdapter objAdapter1 = new OleDbDataAdapter(); // Pass the Select command to the adapter. objAdapter1.SelectCommand = objCmdSelect; // Create new DataSet to hold information from the worksheet. DataSet objDataset1 = new DataSet(); objAdapter1.Fill(objDataset1, "ExcelData");
after this if i looks on the DataSet i see some of the cell value not read from the Excel file, what was the problem and how to resolve this?
