I want to read Excel file in c# using following code
string excelFileName = "Book2.xls";
string excelConnectString = @"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=Book2.xls;Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=YES;""";
//string excelConnectString = @"Provider = Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source = " + excelFileName + ";" + "Extended Properties = Excel 8.0; HDR=Yes;IMEX=1";
OleDbConnection objConn = new OleDbConnection(excelConnectString);
OleDbCommand objCmd = new OleDbCommand("Select * From [Sheet1$]", objConn);
OleDbDataAdapter objDatAdap = new OleDbDataAdapter();
objDatAdap.SelectCommand = objCmd;
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
objDatAdap.Fill(ds);
Everything is working fine.Now my requirement is to read the excel file something like below
SELECT A,B,D From [Sheet1];
The Select-command should look like this if you want to read A1 to D1:
SELECT * FROM [SHEETNAME_HERE$A1:D1]
Whole Code:
OleDbConnection con = new OleDbConnection(
"provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;data source="
+ XLS_FILE_NAME_AND_PATH_HERE
+ ";Extended Properties=Excel 8.0;");
StringBuilder stbQuery = new StringBuilder();
stbQuery.Append("SELECT * FROM [" + SHEETNAME_HERE + "$A1:D1]");
OleDbDataAdapter adp = new OleDbDataAdapter(stbQuery.ToString(), con);
DataSet dsXLS = new DataSet();
adp.Fill(dsXLS);
DataView dvEmp = new DataView(dsXLS.Tables[0]);
dataGridView1.DataSource = dvEmp;
DataTable Contents = new DataTable();
using (OleDbDataAdapter adapter = new OleDbDataAdapter("Select * From [Sheet1$]", objConn))
{
adapter.Fill(Contents);
}
Console.WriteLine(Contents.Rows[0][0]);
You can select a particular cell by passing the proper index.
You can just constuct use query like that:
SELECT FirstName, LastName, Mobile FROM [Sheet1$]
i.e. use first row values as column names.
