Read An Excel File - Loop Through Cells To Get Values?

Jul 25, 2008

I'm using VB.Net's Excel component to read Excel file, but the performance is totally slow, since it has to loop through cells to get values. Reading a file containing one sheet with 1162 rows and 105 columns (which is small size compared to my general requirement) already costs more than 5 minutes.1. I want to ask if any of you have suggestion on reading such an Excel file with better performance, except OleDB, cuz most compies here have vesion problem?2. Is it normal that it tooks a long time for Excel component to read Excel file, or is it that I implement the code in a wrong way?

Reading EXCEL In 2010 Detecting Blank Cells

May 16, 2012

My Visual Basic .Net 2010 application reads data from an EXCEL spreadsheet which will be generated by my "customers". The responses to Alkis last year (23 July 2011) has been a big help and got me over a hump in my application. Now I am down to the last issue - how do I detect a blank cell? Valid data is numeric, starts at a fixed cell (A5 to be specific), and will be continuous until it ends with blank cells. While blank cells appear to print a "zero", when I try to use zero as an end criteria I get a 'System.InvalidCastException'. When I put in a specific end value (-1) in the last cell all works fine but that, of course, is an invitation to a user error.What is the difference between "Value" and "Value2" and where might I find documentation that explains the difference?

Getting The Text Value Of Cells In An Excel (*.xls) File?

Nov 6, 2009

I'm trying to write an import function for getting data out of an excel file. How I currently do it is as follows:

Private Sub ReadExcel(ByVal childform As PhoneDiag.frmData, ByVal FileName As String)

Dim xlApp As Excel.Application
Dim xlWorkBook As Excel.Workbook[code]....

From what I can gather, it more than likely comes down to this line:

Dim Obj = CType(therange.Cells(rCnt, cCnt), Excel.Range)

All I need is the text from the cells, not to create an object for each cell (and then not send them to garbage collection).Is there an easier way of just getting the text? Ideally, if I can get a method for getting the text values of the cell, I'd like to get the multiple rowArray()'s added to a master array and update the program's values later.

EDIT:I also realize that I have two options if I were to create a master array, say mArr, to hold all the data.Would it be better performance-wise to have mArr to be large and the sub arrays small, or mArr to be small and the sub arrays to hold more of the information?I ask because the files that will be imported will have more rows than columns, so I was wondering if there was any "set" way of doing it.

IDE :: How To Deal With Cells Excel Cells That Update Info Via The Web

Jul 5, 2009

My main goal is to have an excel spreadsheet that automatically plots the overall success of my stock portfolio over time (% change over time). I've been able to incorporate stock data into my spreadsheet by linking it to the web, but the trouble is the spreadsheet will keep no history of what the previous stock values were, so I can't graph how things change over time. This sounds like it might be too complicated to be built in to excel, so I was wondering if anyone knew how to program this in Visual Basic. Maybe something like this.... If refresh then new cell plus new time stamp. Another possibility would be to have a whole bunch of cells that refresh only once but at longer and longer intervals, e.g.,

Reading Hex Values From A File?

Nov 7, 2010

I have a problem reading a file with hex values.

The values have this format: (2C 0A 0B 45 32 38)

I�ve tried two different ways to open the file. The first one, is storing in a variable of type string,

Dim srTrad As New System.IO.StreamReader(fichToOpen, System.Text.Encoding.ASCII, True)
sLine = srTrad.ReadLine()

so what I get is �2C0A0B453238�. Then I try to put them in pairs and reading as a HEX value, but I can�t. The only thing I get is the hex value of �2�, �C�, and so on. This is not what I�m looking for.

The second way is storing the values in a variable of type Byte:

Dim srByte As New IO.FileStream(fichToOpen, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)
Dim br As New IO.BinaryReader(srByte)
Dim data As Byte() = br.ReadBytes(CInt(numBytes))

The result here, is pretty the same as before. For the pair �0A� what I get is either (30,41) or (48,65) (hex values or Dec). What I need isn�t to convert a char to its Hex value (I saw several examples for this on this forum). What I need is to know that 0A means 10 (0A is a hex value itself)

Reading Excel Xls File With Ole

Sep 26, 2010

I'm trying to read an Excel xls file into a dataset with OLE. I can do that, but it's loosing data. The sheet is formatted with merged cells on the first 11 rows and after that it's just a table. I need to read this with OLE, because the server on which this web-application is working does not have Excel installed.

If I remove the first 11 rows with excel, then save it and then let my program read it, all is fine, but with those rows, it's ok. The excel sheet has header names in row 12. After the read in to the dataset, some of those cells with the header names are empty. I assume this is caused by the formatting. Is there any other way to open and read an excel file on a server without Excel or expensive dll's? Is it possible to open the xls file with OLE, delete the first 11 rows before using da.fill(dataset,tablename)?

Reading ENTIRE Content Of An Excel File?

Oct 5, 2011

I already know the basic procedure of how to read specific cells of an .xls file using VB.NET but I can't figure out how to automatically get all the data from such a file.Basically, I'm obtaining the data like this:

Dim xlApp As Excel.Application
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim ws As Worksheet
xlApp = New Excel.Application

[code]....

In this case, I know that there will be content in the first 10 rows of the columns A, B and C but what would I have to do if I had a huge document whose size and content might even change from time to time? I know that there is also an attribute ws.rows.count but this always returns a big value like 60000 even if only a few rows are occupied.So basically, I'm looking for a simple way to loop through all the used rows of an Excel file with the possibility of accessing each cell in that row.

Reading Double Precision Values From Binary File?

Feb 19, 2010

I am attempting to read a series of double prcision float values (x,y,z coordinates) from a binary file using the binary reader. Everything works fine except that when I read the number back it is different then the number that was written there (original file is generated by mining application).

written number : 78897.6476586
file contents hex : 40 F3 43 1A 5C CF 43 A4 this converts back to the same number as written using a IEE 754 conversion program. VB returned value : -5.45100266729248E-134 using .readDouble()

I have tried to step thru the file in one byte steps to make sure that I have the proper start position but that did not help any.

Reading In Data From One Excel File Write That Data To A Different Excel File?

Sep 28, 2011

I am reading in data from an excel file that is only viewed inside the program. This excel file is being populated by data from multiple PLCs (7) through DDE links via RS Linx Gateway. I would like this data to be written to two different excel files and specific sheets within those so that it can be viewed later on.

My program has a form that will allow the user to view the data live, meaning they look at the first excel file from the program so that they are not able to edit the DDE links or change the file in any way. The other excel files (there will be two, one for good parts, one for bad parts) have specific sheets for each part and each tester station. For example, if the part is a ABC part, and it is a good part, and it was tester on tester station 1 then it needs to be saved to the good parts excel file, in the ABC sheet and in the good tester station 1 sheet.

If part XYZ comes along and is a bad part (fails testing) then it needs to be saved to the bad parts file, the XYZ sheet and the bad tester station 1 sheet.I might have added more detail than is needed to solve the problem but I thought I would add it anyways to help you all understand my problem a little better.

VS 2010 - Reading Text File And Returning Values To Textbox

Works sort of fine except that it doesn't display the totals correctly. Code for both buttons is below. The variable are assigned in the mainform (Tried also in the display button and didn't change anything).

Search Excel File For Values?

Oct 25, 2010

I have a form with a couple of combo boxes. The first combobox adds items based on each row in an excel sheet.

Public Sub FetchExcelValues(ByVal ControlType As String, ByVal control As Object, ByVal xlApp As Object, ByVal xlWorkBook As Object, ByVal xlWorkSheet As Object, ByVal column As String, ByVal row As Integer)

[Code]....

This basically reads each cell in the specified column until it hits a blank cell. Then it takes the value of each cell and adds it as items to the first combo box. Now, what I want the code to do next is to take the selected item from this combo box and look for a match in another worksheet. When it finds a cell that matches, it should pick up the value from column B of the same row as the match. There might be more than one match as well, so every time it finds a match, I want to pick up the value of Column B of the same row and add THAT as items in the second combobox.
