I developed an Add-In for Excel so you can insert some numbers from a MySQL database into specific cells. Now I tried to format these cells to currency and I have two problems with that.
1. When using a formula on formatted cells, the sum for example is displayed like that:
"353,2574€". What do I have to do to display it in an appropriate way?
2. Some cells are empty but have to be formatted in currency as well. When using the same format I used for the sum formula and type something in, there's only the number displayed. No "€", nothing. What is that?
I specified a Excel.Range and used this to format the range
sum.NumberFormat = "#.## €";
But I also tried
sum.NumberFormat = "0,00 €";
sum.NumberFormat = "#.##0,00 €";
Any idea someone?
This one works for me. I have excel test app that formats the currency into 2 decimal places with comma as thousand separator. Below is the Console Application that writes data on Excel File.
Make sure you have referenced Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel dll
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel;
namespace ConsoleApplication2
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var bankAccounts = new List<Account> {
new Account { ID = 345678, Balance = 541.27},
new Account {ID = 1230221,Balance = -1237.44},
new Account {ID = 346777,Balance = 3532574},
new Account {ID = 235788,Balance = 1500.033333}
};
DisplayInExcel(bankAccounts);
}
static void DisplayInExcel(IEnumerable<Account> accounts)
{
var excelApp = new Excel.Application { Visible = true };
excelApp.Workbooks.Add();
Excel._Worksheet workSheet = (Excel.Worksheet)excelApp.ActiveSheet;
workSheet.Cells[1, "A"] = "ID Number";
workSheet.Cells[1, "B"] = "Current Balance";
var row = 1;
foreach (var acct in accounts)
{
row++;
workSheet.Cells[row, "A"] = acct.ID;
workSheet.Cells[row, "B"] = acct.Balance;
}
workSheet.Range["B2", "B" + row].NumberFormat = "#,###.00 €";
workSheet.Columns[1].AutoFit();
workSheet.Columns[2].AutoFit();
}
}
public class Account
{
public int ID { get; set; }
public double Balance { get; set; }
}
}
The Output
