Open an Excel 2003 spreadsheet with C#. Could not

问题:

I need to pull data from an xls, I also need have the user be able to change the location of the file it will. So an OleDbConnection seemed like a good start, and it was until the first merged cell.

This works for all but the merged cells:

OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand();
cmd.Connection = new OleDbConnection(@"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data 
Source=F:\test.xls;Extended Properties=Excel 8.0;");
cmd.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM [Sheet$]";
cmd.Connection.Open();

I found that this should allow access to the merged cells:

OleDbConnection(@"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=F:\test.xls;Extended Properties=Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1;");

But then I get a Could not find installable ISAM exception on cmd.conn.open();

I followed the advice here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/209805

And here: Error: "Could Not Find Installable ISAM"

No luck.

I’m open to other ways of pulling data from the xls. Or even if there was a command I could run on the xls to remove the mirged cells that might work.

I think it's just because you have to enclose the Extended Properties in quotes if you have more than one

OleDbConnection(@"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=F:\test.xls;
Extended Properties='Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1';");

Or if single quotes don't work (you get the idea)

OleDbConnection(@"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=F:\test.xls;
Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1;"";");

While your example doesn't show it, this error can also be caused by spaces in the file path. In which case you would need to wrap the file path in quotes as well.

OleDbConnection(@"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=""F:\test.xls"";...

Assuming your system requirements include an installation of Excel, you can use the Excel Object Library

Excel.Sheets sheets = m_Excel.Worksheets;
Excel.Worksheet worksheet = (Excel.Worksheet)sheets.get_Item(1);
Excel.Range range = worksheet.get_Range("A1", "E1".ToString());

etc.

Try this

I had this problem. just because of quotes

string sConnection = @"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + sFilePath + ";" + "Extended Properties='Excel 8.0;HDR=YES;'";
