I have made an application to read data from an excel file and save to database "Access". It's working perfect except one thing that..There are 4 columns in excel file as :
Shop no
owner address
alternate member address
permanent member address
For all fields i have kept same datatype in database as "text". As in above image In Column A "shop no" in some rows there are same shop no with A,B,C classes. Now when I am uploading this excel file it saving all data, but in Column A cells which having only numbers would be saving to database eg: 185, 187, 188. And the cells which has both number and class eg: 185 A, 185 B would be reading as null values.
I am working on a comparison tool that will take an excel file and a .csv file and find differences. The user is going to be selecting the two files from their local machine via the .NET FileUpload control. The issue I am running into is that I don't want to write the files to the server first so using something like below won't work for me, as "Book1.xls" or even " + FilePath + " in place of it won't work. I need to be able to read the posted files into memory, then create maybe datatables of them, then do my comparison code.
[Code]....
I have some code that reads the PostedFile into a stream but I don't know how I can use that stream with the above code. Then I have some that can read the .csv file, but if it is an excel file, I get a bunch of Excel garbage along with the data...

How can I read into clean data from a FileUpload control of an Excel document?

I need to read an Excel work book with 2 sheet which have more than 60,000 records. The application is an ASP.Net application so the performance matters.
Which approach should I take? Sohuld I do it using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel or should I do it using OLEDB in ADO.Net?
I have a scenario where I have to read an excel file to dump records in a mysql database. The code generates an exception Sheet1 not found. I have pasted the code below. Please let me know the solution to the exception. I have given the correct read/write/modify settings to my excel file.
if (fileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName.EndsWith(".xls") || fileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName.EndsWith(".XLS")) { string fileName = Server.MapPath(fileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName); string connString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" + fileName + ";Extended Properties=Excel 8.0"; // Create the connection object OleDbConnection oledbConn = new OleDbConnection(connString); try { // Open connection oledbConn.Open(); // Create OleDbCommand object and select data from worksheet Sheet1 OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand("SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]" , oledbConn); // Create new OleDbDataAdapter OleDbDataAdapter oleda = new OleDbDataAdapter(); oleda.SelectCommand = cmd; // Create a DataSet which will hold the data extracted from the worksheet. DataSet ds = new DataSet(); // Fill the DataSet from the data extracted from the worksheet. oleda.Fill(ds, "RestaurantExcelData"); for (int i = 0; i < ds.Tables[0].Rows.Count; i++) { Response.Write("Data: " + ds.Tables[0].Rows[i].ItemArray[0].ToString() + ""); } } catch(Exception e1) { } finally { // Close connection oledbConn.Close(); } } else { Response.Write("File Not Excel (xls||XLS)"); }
But it shows me an errormessage when I run this query:
string query = "Select * from [IO_Definition$]";
IO_Definition is the name of the spreadsheet in my excel file. I also added the excel file to the App_Data folder of the website.
The error is:
The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find the object 'IO_Definition$'. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly.
The thing is, when I write the absolute path of the excel file in the connectionString it does work. Is there anyway I can make it work without writing the absolute path?
I am attempting to read data from an uploaded spreadsheet using ACE.OLEDB. The code, which is running fine on dev and test machines for XL2003/2007 reports "Exernal table is not in the expected format" error on connecting on the production server for XL2007 only.The code is

I have a client that provides a .xls file on their site that we have no control over that we download the file and then read it to update inventory. The first column is the SKU and in cell A2 it has the value 1028. This outputs fine but when I get to A8 the value is '1051-LV' and in my output it is blank. I am thinking in my dataset it reads A2 value and that becomes the type for the remainder of the rows. But what if that is wrong? How do I fix so it doesn't set the datetype to say int when it could be a string type?
Below is my code and works but the output of certain rows sku values are blank and are not like that in the excel file.
Code: Protected Sub btnGetExcelFile_Click(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnGetExcelFile.Click litOutput.Text = "" Dim ws As New WebPost ws.URL = "http://www.domain.com/dropship/feed.xls" 'downloads excel file based on url Dim bExcel() As Byte = ws.RequestBinaryData("", True)
I can directly use to read and display Excel or CSV files using asp web control(GridView, sqldatasource etc). I do NOT want to upload the file first to an sql database before reading them, I just want to read the files directly. I am using asp.net 2.0 and c#.
In my application, i have one fileupload control which will take excel file. I want to read this excel file and want to store in datatable. How will i do this. I am using visual studio 2008.
But some times the file that is read, reports that there is more rows than there actually are. i.e. I only have 300 lines of data but the read reads in 500. My question is, and I am sure I have seen this somewhere but I cannot find it now, is how do I get the reader to stop reading at the first blank line?
I am reading a CSV file created by Excel. the string I am reading needs to be encoded (it shows small boxes instead of hebrew characters) so I wrote a lil routine to convert the string -
Function encodeName(ByVal name As String) As String Dim src As Encoding = Encoding.UTF8 Dim dest As Encoding = Encoding.Default Dim srcBytes() As Byte srcBytes = src.GetBytes(name) Dim asciiBytes() As Byte = Encoding.Convert(src, dest, srcBytes) Dim mychars(dest.GetCharCount(asciiBytes) - 1) As Char dest.GetChars(asciiBytes, 0, asciiBytes.Length, mychars, 0) Dim asciiString As New String(mychars) End Function
From what I read FileStream.ReadLine reads the text with encoding UTF8 so I try to convert from UTF8 to Encoding.Default buy instead of little boxes I get question marks.
I am reading an excel file in C#.NET. The data is being read successfully but there is problem with some hyperlinks stored in the excel file. I can read their text but i dont know how to get the underlying link/url of the column. I couldnt find much help on google as well. if someone has worked in a similar situation please let me know what can be done.edit::: i am using OleDb namespace for establishing a connection with the Excel file so if someone can post a solution which applies to this situation
I have some code that reads records from an excel file and then imports that data into an sql database. The issue only happens when the excel file has more then 350 rows in it. In the middle of the import it just stops executing and I get directed to the 'Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage' page or just a blank page when using firefox.
I dont get any time out errors or any error at all but still I tried messing around with the script timeout settings but still does the same thing at about the 2 min 30 sec mark.
I need to be able to read an excel file from a file upload control but I can not save the file to disk first, it must be done in memory.
[Code]....
Above is my code for reading the data file if it IS saved to disk, but again, I have to be able to do this without saving the file to disk, it must be done in memory. I have not been able to find any sample code anywhere on how to do this from memory, everything seems to force the file be uploaded, saved to disk, and then read in the connection string, which again I can not do.
I understand how to use a connection string object to read excel sheets. What I don't know is how to follow a hyperlink inside excel, grab matching data from the linked page and return it to my database. Essentially, the spreadsheet has two columns:
Title | Class#
Class# has the hyperlink which links to an internal web site. The connected page has a course description and any pre-required classes that must be taken before you can take this class. This is where I'm rather stumped as I've not had to do this type of thing before.
