Accessing Data In A Spreadsheet?
Feb 6, 2012
So I'm a little rusty on my VB.NET skills, but I decided to take up a project to get me working in it again. Problem is I've hit a slight road block and I was hoping someone here might be able to point me in the right direction.I have a spreadsheet (or 3, but they could be combined if that makes it easier) that contain interest rates. I need my program to use user-input to select which interest rate it needs and then calculate and output the grand total, without the end user ever seeing or even being aware of the interest rate table.

I have a VB.Net program that reads in a flat file, and then parses line by line, formatting the data into different spreadsheets in an excel workbook (each line can be any 10+ different record types so I parse and put in appropriate excel sheet).
For smaller sized flat files (under 10mb), the parser works great. However, I am trying this on a file that is over 120mb (400k+ lines). While running, I will get an OleDBException saying that the spreadsheet is full. Now I am pretty confident that Excel can handle a much larger data set than a flat file. So I assume this exception is not giving me the true story as to what is really occuring.
I open a connection, and then parse each line in the file, inserting each row into the excel file. I assumed it would be bad performance wise to open/close the connection between each insert. Could this be causing the issue? Any ideas what I need to do to handle such a large file? There are cases where the flat file can be over 500mb.
To actually do the insert into excel, I am just doing the following (I construct an sql query based on the type of row and values parsed):
Dim conn As New OleDbConnection()
conn.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + ExportLocation.Text + "" + importFileName + "-PVF.xls;Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=YES"""

What I was wondering is if I had a ListView1 with 1 row and 5 subitems, could I export that whole row into an Microsoft Office Excel spreadsheet, by defining in which Excell row/column I want to add each subitem into?

So I need to create a windows form that is able to generate reports by querying a SQL Database or SQL Server. There is data in the databases that will be put into an excel file from whatever columns from a specific table I need. I need it to be a dynamic query that is probably hard coded into the application because I might need to write other queries at some point to generate different reports that need different columns.
What I need is somewhere to start or some code that I can look at because im not very familiar when it comes to vb.net/excel. I need code to get all that data from the database and put it neatly in an excel file and I would like to specify what columns in the excel file all the data goes under.

I am trying to import data from an excel file but the spreadsheet name is causing problem. If I use 'Sheet1' as the name of the spreadsheet from which I want data, then it works fine but I want to change the name of the spreadsheet to the name which has spaces like 'PROJECT SHEET'. Please guide
Dim ExcelFile As String = "C:ProjectFile.xlsx"
Dim myDatabasePath as string = "C:ProjectsDatabase.mdb"
Dim excelConnectionString As String = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" + ExcelFile + ";Extended Properties=""Excel 12.0 Xml;HRD=NO"""
Dim excelConnection As New OleDbConnection(excelConnectionString)
excelConnection.Open()

I am trying to write data to an excel spreadsheet. Simply just todays date and the value of textbox1. I can successfully write it to excel, but how do I get it so each time the application runs it writes the data to the next available row?? I know there must be some loop involved but am having trouble with the coding..
this is what I have so far.

I'm currently trying to import data from an Excel document to a list in Visual Basic 2010 Express. The Idea is to have the data easily modifiable by the users. I have looked quite a bit online and all of the examples seem to reference either an "Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel" or "Imports Excel". When I try to use the I get "(no correction suggestions)".

I have an project which was written in VB6 and made use of the Spread3.0 component to display multiple large data from database in spreadsheet. My objective is to convert this project into a VB.NET current version which would not use the third party component but can possibly use a freeware that does similar if not all the functionality.
My question is, are there any freeware that is available in .NET for such spreadsheet-like manipulation of data programatically? I have come across dsoFramer but this only allows the display of the data in an IE frame. I would like to jus embed the content into my existing form.
Also this freeware must be able to handle formula and user-editing as well as multiple cell type such as combobox/checkbox etc.

I have a program that currently takes data and writes it to a MS Excel spreadsheet. (automatically opens the program, creates the cells, and fills them with data)
I would like to add an additional feature to my program that offers support for OpenOffice.org's 'Calc' spreadsheet program. (so users without MS Excel can use the application) So I am basically asking if anyone knows how to automate OpenOffice 'Calc' from VB.net. (I am using Visual Studio 2005)
I have searched on the OpenOffice forums but no one seems to know the vb.net code for this. So I was wondering if anyone here has done this, or would know how to do this.

I have been on MSDN about this and searched but it's not quite telling me what I'm after. I've extracted a list of file names from an Excel spreadsheet and want to check whether they all exist in a directory which a user can select in a text box. It feels like I'm nearly there with it but currently my listbox is displaying everything, I want it to just show the files that are missing. I'm a beginner so I'm not exactly sure if I'm even telling it to compare the two things properly, I've tried a couple of ways of checking if a file exists but neither seem to work.[code]

My basic set up is Visual Basic 2010 Express on Windows 7 64 bit What I'm trying to do is to have VB 2010 get the data from a Open Office spreadsheet. I have looked around on the general interenet and have found quite a few references to MS Excel, but none dealling with Open Office. The code samples I have tried to use seem to rely on MS Excel being installed (Which I dont have). The 'Automate excel' page (Here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/302094) naturally seems to rely on a Microsoft Excel Object Library reference that, not surprisingly, isnt there because I dont have MS Excel. Keep in mind I havent mucked around with a programming code for decades!
What I do have is Open Office 3.2, which CAN save spreadsheets in a excel format (.xls), and a few others such as .ods, .dbf and .xml (Excel 2003?).

I've worked out how to display charts in VB 2010 Express, but now I'm needing the user to input data into a spreadsheet/table that will be used within the program. I know that table is no longer available and neither is the OWC11 set. Is my remaining option then to use DataGridView? I know it is SQL based and I don't have much experience there yet, but I didn't want to commit to it if there is another method that would work just as well. The values that are put in by the user does not need to be preserved.

I have an application which opens one of several excel templates, fills a datagrid view with Excel Named Range data. Once the data is modified in the application I neet to save it to an excel spreadsheet. I currently have the following working:1. This sub writes 2 columns of data (Ingredient) and (Result) from those named ranges and places them in the datagrid
Private Sub CboBoxTypeCofA_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CboBoxTypeCofA.SelectedIndexChangedWorkbookTemplate = ""CofABook = ""

This code works and the only problem is that after running the code the excel application does not close.Now I need to write the completed updates from the datagrid view and the other controls back into a workbook.Ive been searching around but have not found the proper way to do this and how to kill the oexcel application in the code above.
