I am trying to read excel data (Excel 2007 SP1, on Windows XP SP3) with visual basic .net 2008 (VB 9.0 SP1). I have tried several attempts and whatever I do I am getting the following error message: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException was unhandled ErrorCode=-2147319784 Message="Altes Format oder ungültige Typbibliothek. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80028018 (TYPE_E_INVDATAREAD))" Source="Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel" Message="Altes Format oder ungültige Typbibliothek." Translated: Old format or unknown type libraryI have added the reference "Microsoft Excel 12.0 Object Library" to my project. I am assuming that I might have to add a different or an additional reference, but I do not have any clue which one to use. List of things I have already done:- Searched other forums- Altered the language settings- Tried it on an other Computer (Win XP SP3, Excel 2007, Visual Basic 2008 Express)- Ran the diagnostics tool in Excel - Updated all updates etc...- Reinstalled Visual BasicI really do not have any clue why it should not work?

I'm creating a program and it is paramount to its functionality that it can open->read->close a Microsoft Excel (.xlsx) file.Now, I've searched the forums with the keyword "Excel" and found a lot of stuff in many programming languages, none of which were any use to me.
I should pinpoint that I'm not that good at programming as university takes all my times, but every summer (like this one) i really enjoy tackling my problems via programming.[code]...

I am trying to import and read data in from an Excel file that is being updated every half second by way of a DDE Link from RSLinx Gateway,which I think is a default setting, though that data only changes every few minutes. There are 5 rows and 8 columns of data that I am reading in.Each column is a different tester starting with the second row, Testers 1 through 7. The first column has titles that describe the data coming in from the DDE links.
Each column has 5 rows of data related to the tester.I know how to display the data which I will post my code for below, but as far as reading the data and determining whether or not the part was good or bad, based on a boolean value, I am stuck.I would also like to save the data into a different excel file after determining the status of the part so that we can look at past data.
Code display:
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Data.OleDb
Imports System.Drawing.Printing

I have an excel sheet that contains 25000 phone numbers listed in one cell with no sorting order. I want to create a small windows application that can read the sheet and return the total number of the phone numbers and how many duplicate numbers as well as the number of times of repetitions. How I can resolve this issue? What is the best way to approach it? I'm using VS 2008 and VB.Net.

I been google search for a while (a month at least). My problem before is how to read raw data from access. however, i find out that access not suitable for my project. I more interested in using Excel, because for later analysis i would came out with graph using excel rather than using access. Since, i been develop a GUI Program for Battery Cyclic Test. The part for Cyclic Test and DAQ Interfacing is done already.
My weakness is not been able to understand/know how to read raw data for particular column, and display it into textbox. In many out there forums or discussion, they explain about this kind of database by using class in VB. But, i would like to implement excel data manipulation in VB-Window Form Application.[code]...

I'm writing an application that imports and tidy up address data into a cleaned, deduped excel workbook ordered in rows with each column as an address field. One of the issues I've ran into is that we sometimes get a workbook where the multiple address fields are held in a single cell with line breaks. I've written code to extract all of this data out of the excel sheet in to a dataset with each sheet as a table and the address fields contained within. I now want to create a new Excel workbook from this data with the address fields in Row and columns the problem I have is I can Open/create the Workbook but when I try to insert a new Sheet (Table) I get an error saying the Workbook is read only....

Using VB.Net, I am reading an Excel spreadsheet does anyone know what might cause a cell to be read as VBNull when it contains data?the cell clearly contains data. and what is extra weird is all the same cells in the rows before and after the bad one have the little green triangle in the upper left corner, indicating an error - but they all read fine the cell that reads as NULL is the cell in row 4 above

I use an OLEDB connection to read from an excel database, and this loop to read in all of the data from each of the columns
While reader.Read()
For i As Integer = 0 To reader.FieldCount - 1
temp = reader(i).ToString + ControlChars.Tab
output_file.Write(temp)
[code]....
Some of the columns contain date information, which are read in fine (usually as a string "2/20/2011" or so), but the headers of those columns are read in as a blank "". The headers for all the other columns read in fine, but not for the date containing columns.

I am trying to read data from an excel sheet but there is an exception saying that no value given for one or more required parameters which I don't understand. Here is my code upto where the error is pointing to:
Dim MyConnection As System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection
Dim DtSet As System.Data.DataSet
Dim MyCommand As System.Data.OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter
[code]....
The exception points to that last line MyCommand.Fill(DtSet) which shows me that there is a problem with my select statement. Previously my code reads the data and displays it without the where clause in the select but when I added the where statement so that it can only read data from rows where the column I has a value equal to 176, it instead gives an exception that shows that some required parameter is missing a value?

I am using Visual Studio 2005. I am using a data reader to read an Excel spreadsheet and want to update a SQL Express table. The datatypes in this table mimic a software application I will eventually be passing data to and are listed in the comments in my code. No matter what I do or change, this will not run. I even populated my spreadsheet with zeros and this will not run. I have found many suggestions on the web and tried changing things but nothing seems to work. I also don't know specifically which variable is causing the error or the proper way to make sure there are no blanks in this spreadsheet.The error says "conversion from string "" to 'Double' is not valid Here is my code:
Public Sub btnUpload_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnUpload.Click
'Connect to the Excel spreadsheet
Dim xConnStr As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=" & txtFileName.Text & ";" & _

I have an Excel 2007 spreadsheet with data about my golf group, e.g., each row has name, phone number, handicap, etc.I want to write a VB 2008 application to read each row, extract the appropriate column data, and then print it out. I can't find any help on how to do it.
For example, I thought I'd have to go to the references and add the Microsoft Excel 12.0 object, then import Microsoft.office.interop Once done, my thought on a simple line of code to just display the A1 box would be:
dim appExcel as New Excel.Application
dim variable as string
variable = appExcel.range ("a1").value
message.box(variable)
Running that results in an error exception. So I'm clueless. Any hints or pointers on what to do, especially how to contruct a loop to read the contents of each column in each row, process and move to the next row.

I need to read an Excel file (.xls, 2003 format). The data in the excel file is composed of two parts: - The first 14 rows consist of all kinds of stuff, buttons, merged columns, stuff I don't need. You can see this as a header for the worksheet. - The next row (number 15 viewed in Excel) contains column header names - All remaining rows contain the data I need to read. I have tried reading this file using two different methods. The first method is simply using OleDb:

All I want is for the program to just "continue" when this thing happen. But that seems to be impossible. So I guess I need a way to make sure this bug doesn't happen. It happens randomly eery 800 entries or so.
Looks to me the connection is forcibly closed by remote host. In that case, I simply want to go where things left on and restart again.
