I have an application that needs to know how many excel rows are in a worksheet before they are imported into my application.
At the moment I am asking the end user to enter this into a text box, but would like my application to do this can anyone suggest the best way to do this?
This is my first time posting in a forum like this, so please excuse me if I accidentally break any thread rules (btw, where can i find these?). I am very new to Visual Basic and have been trying to teach myself as I create this program. I have experience with macros in excel so I do understand some of the coding, but definitely nowhere near being proficient. I am using Visual Basic 2008 Step by Step (Michael Halvorson) to teach myself.
I am trying to create some code in my program that will allow the user to open an excel file and then return the number of rows and columns in the worksheet. There will only be 1 worksheet in the workbook (since this is just a small part of a larger program I am writing). I already tested the code that will open the file in another program and it worked fine; the thing that is catching me is the row and column counts. I'm a bit stuck here and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. Here is the code as follows: Code: I have another sub for a quit button which I chose to leave out. The last line for the MessageBox is causing me problems.
I would like to count records of a datagridview after having applied a search criteria

View 8 RepliesI am using a tableadapter to connect my project to an MS database. I need a a function which counts the number of rows in the table for something which I am doing. I have sucessfully used the count function to count the number of rows for my other tables, but when I tried to reuse it for another table, it wouldn't work. I get an error...
An unhandled exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' occurred in System.Data.dllAdditional information: Input string was not in a correct format.Couldn't store <AH25> in ProductCode Column. Expected type is Int32.
and this is the code which I used
Dim record As Integer = TAProduct.GetData.Rows
Do Until record = TAProduct.GetData().Count
' other codes
loop
It only seems to work if the first column is an integer datatype, which is the case for my other tables, but the table which I am currently dealing with using a string datatype. Is there another way to count the number of rows without using SQL statements or can I adapt my existing code in some way?

View 1 Replieshow do I count all non-new rows in a datagridview?
datagridview always give a blank row at the last row, and when i do a rows.count, it always adds up
is there a way to count only non new rows, or do i just need to subtract 1 every count (which is weird)

View 1 RepliesI want to add a feature to my trial version of the application. After first activation, I want to make it limited to 90 days. But I am concerned about user's changing the date of system hence deceiving my application. Is there any possibility to make it fool proof in a way that even if user takes the calender back, application expires after 90 days of first activation? First activation date has been saved in the database.
View 2 RepliesI am converting several VBA projects to Windows form applications. The only problem I have is that some of the functionality of Excel is essential to the application, such as R1C1 formulas. I do not want to instantiate the Excel application or access saved worksheets. All of the data is retrieved by querying Oracle databases. 2-Dimensional arrays are not an option because the columns contain differing datatypes, and DataGridViews are too slow to work with.
I thought simply dimming a Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Worksheet object would be enough, but the program kept failing and upon inspecting the object's elements in debug mode, I found that every value says this:
{"Unable to cast COM object of type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.WorksheetClass' to interface type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel._Worksheet'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{000208D8-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}' failed due to the following error: No such interface supported (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE))."}
I'm trying to write a simple datagridview to excel. (I know there are lots out there but I can't find this one tweak)The following code runs well enough, I just need to be able to run a loop that says if a given row in the datagridview is .visible = false than I need the corresponding row in the excel spread sheet to become hidden.[code]

I'm using the excel object model (importing namespace Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel) to open an Excel.Application object in my code, then open a workbook, worksheet, etc. What I'm doing is ridiculously simple: I'm opening two worksheet objects; one is already populated with data and another one is empty and is supposed to be populated with some rows from the first worksheet. If some conditions, regarding cells in the first worksheet, are not met, then I want to copy the entire row in the second worksheet, at the first available row. I have an integer counter, initialized at 1, which indexes the first empty row in the output worksheet this counter is obviously incremented every time I insert a row at outputSheet.Rows(counter).
Every solution I've Googled either uses VBA (I'm looking for a solution based on VB.NET) or is not compatible with .NET framework 3.5 (I'm receiving exceptions at runtime). I'm guessing I'm not using the Range object correctly or something; in any case, what's the simplest way to do this? I really don't want to open an OLEDB connection to my excel file: this is too complicated for the simple row copying mechanism I'm trying to implement.[code]...
I'am new in the VB world, and should translate excel sheets into new sheets.I'am using Visual Studio 2008 (with VB .net I think) and I'am trying to tackle empty rows deletion.Maybe an additional problem is, that some columns having a space (visualy the row is empty and should be deleted).[code]...
View 10 Replieshow I would count the rows in an excel document until a row has no text. For example:
A1 has a value of 1
A2 has a value of 2
A3 has a value of 3
A4 is blank
So what I want is to count the rows until there is no value. For this example it would stop at A3 because there is no value in A4
I have this problem with this macro. I think it's a VERY common problem, but I just kind find a straight answer since it's so specific.
I have data like this:
juanA50
juanB60
juanD70
pedroA50
pedroC70
pedroD80
pedroF90
felipeA50
felipeH100
felipeL200
The first column is the name of the employee.
The second one contains the name of payment concepts (salaries, insurance, etc).
The third column contains the actual amount to be charged or discharged.
The desired output should be like this:
___A_B_C_D_E_F_H_L
juan_50_60__70___
pedro_50__70_80__90__
felipe_50____100_200
Delete duplicated values in the names, merge the matching rows of an employee and put them in the correct colum that matches the payment concept. I'm using SQL Server 2000 and Excel 2007, so feel free to talk about querys and Excel 2007 new functions. This is done with a VB6 application (not VBA), so I'm using Excel's object model as a reference in my project. I was originally trying to do it with SQL Server, instead with a macro, but I couldn't find a way.
I have a sheet which contains various data, from which one of them is dates. I would like a macro that will search through those dates and if it finds a date that is older than 6 months then it will delete the entire row.

I have read serveral tutorials online and seem to be missing something. I am trying to have the leading 0's show up in columns by setting the format to text.
''' <summary>
''' This is required for the grid view to export properly

My requirement is to read all rows of an excel-sheet in first column that are not empty, are numeric and have a length between 15 and 20.
For example:
358218033354974
359473035499561
358218036156129
354022038366247
358218032490035
359473030516492
353210040325399
This column might have a header that is not numeric and there might be empty rows. This would cause an exception when importing them via SqlBulkCopy. So i want to prefilter the correct rows via OleDbCommand.
What I have tried so far is following(C# is also appreciated):
Using connection As New OleDbConnection(sExcelConnectionString)
connection.Open()
Dim schemaTable As DataTable = _
connection.GetOleDbSchemaTable(OleDbSchemaGuid.Tables, _
New Object() {Nothing, Nothing, Nothing, "TABLE"})
[Code] .....
But this throws an exception if there are empty rows or the format of the value is incorrect. So my question is: How to restrict the rows of OleDbCommand to:
Get only first column of every worksheet
All values that are numeric
Skip empty values
Ideally only the values with a length between 15 and 20
Any way how to skip the empty rows, Or do I have to to select the whole datatable? I hoped it would be possible to do that only with one query because of performance reasons.
I have this rather stupid litle excel issue which somehow just doesn't go away by itself;I'm creating a excel chart from three rows of information data. Each row has a header, so far so good. The first row exixt of calender data and I planned it to use them as my x-axis labeling. But somehow excel uses them as variables and changes them in to a third bar. Which is not what I had in mind when copied this litle piece of code.[code]
