Excelsheet Comparison - Put All The Cells That Are Different In A New File
Apr 14, 2011
i have 2 excel sheets (file1.xls, file2.xls), both with 2 columns. the first column of both files contain keywords, (both files have the same). now i want to write code in excel that compares the 2 files and put all the cells that are different in a new file (file3.xls). i already saw an example here on the site, Excel sheet values comparison, but somehow it doesn't fit for what i need, and i don't get it to work.
I have searched a lot on the web about changing file attributes in .net , it takes me a long time to get the final code but it was really good. But after all of my search I didn't know why we use "And" when we compare file attribute like this:
If (System.IO.File.GetAttributes(FilePath_txt.Text) And System.IO.FileAttributes.Hidden) = System.IO.FileAttributes.Hidden Then MsgBox("File is hidden") Else MsgBox("File isn't hidden") End If
Otherwise when I want to set Multiple attributes for on file I have to use "Or" with it like this
System.IO.File.SetAttributes(FilePath_txt.Text, IO.FileAttributes.System Or IO.FileAttributes.Hidden Or IO.FileAttributes.ReadOnly)I know this isn't a big problem but , I can't write a code I don't know how it is actually works.
I have a computer that takes in a barcode through a Visual Basic program on one computer and I want to be able to compare that barcode as a String to data on a different computer on the same network by ethernet connection where the data is stored in an Excel 2010 file (.xlsm) in Column A in a workbook called 'Data.xlsm'. Before the data is allowed to be saved or used further in the program on the first computer, I would like for the comparison to happen.
Some more details that you all may or may not need.
Computer 1 (where barcode is scanned): Windows 7, Office 2010
Computer 2 (where data file is stored): Windows XP, Office 2007
Im using an excel sheet as a datasource to retrieve som values that I use to draw a modified voltmeter.
However the excel sheet is DDE-linked to another application (3rd party) that updates it on a realtime basis. Every once in a while, that means my app gets a value it cant handle, or it cant access the specific cell because its being written to.
This causes my picturebox (voltmeter) to draw an error image. Now I would have thought that once it�s supposed to redo the whole operation (datafetching and drawing) that would get rid of the error image (it�s on a timer). It doesnt.So how do I solve this? If I close the form and reopen it, that takes care of the problem, but I dont want to do that.
Dim fName As String = " Z:\rdf1.txt" 'path to text file Dim testTxt As New StreamReader(fName) Dim allRead As String = testTxt.ReadToEnd() 'Reads the whole text file to the end
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.,
I have a DataTable and want to connect the cells of one of its columns to cells in some other DataTables.
For example:
DataTable1.Rows(0).Item(2) is connected to DataTable2.Rows(4).Item(6) DataTable1.Rows(1).Item(2) is connected to DataTable4.Rows(2).Item(3) DataTable1.Rows(2).Item(2) is connected to DataTable3.Rows(11).Item(4) ...
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.
i have been hunting the web for a solution or example to my problem which is loading and xml file into DataGridView with combobox for the cells and then loading the comboxes with data that the user can choose from to change the cell value to and output an updated xml file. Below is my code with the column creation commented out for now, with this code the 7 columns are added with comboboxes to the datagrid but when I read in the xml file its adds the data to another 7 columns on the end and not into the columns I have created first.
I wanna read all cells of all sheets/pages in my excel file and just show the text content of each cell.I have written my code but have 2 problems:
Dim ExcelConnection As New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:Excel.xls;Extended Properties=Excel 8.0;") ExcelConnection.Open() Dim MyCommands As New OleDbCommand("SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]", ExcelConnection)
[code]....
1. How can I read cells inside the While?
2. My select command only selects Sheet1, how can I select ALL sheets?
I am new to VB.NET and I am trying to read a line of data from a .csv file. For some reason the line of code below is returning "System.__ComObject", why? I verified that the cell contains "4/8/2011 9:20".
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?
i am trying to build an application where a specified number of cells are spoken from an excel file. what i want is something similar to what happens in excel, once u click play one cell after the other is selected and spoken and it automatically moves forward to the next, speaks and so on... but if i use voicecombo/SAPI.spvoice the UI freezes! any ideas?
Possible Duplicate: Fastest serializer and deserializer with lowest memory footprint in C#?
I'm using BinaryFormatter class to serialize an structure or a class. (after serialization, I'm going to encrypt the serialized file before saving. (And of course decrypt it before deserialization))But I heard that some other serialization classes are present in .Net Framework. Like XmlSerializer, JavaScriptSerializer, DataContractSerializer and protobuf-net.I want to know, which one is best for me?Less RAM space needed for serialize/deserialize is the most important thing for me. Also speed is important.
I am trying to compare two datatables and generate a resultant datatable of rows that do not match based on customer number. The main table "Customers" contains all customers that have been placed in our system. I am trying to generate a table of customers, "dtResults," that we have not ever generated an invoice from a table called "CurrentCust".I would like someone to look at the attached code and see how I can handle the 'InvalidCastException was unhandled', 'Unable to cast object of type 'System.String' to type 'CustomerDataTable' error. Error occurs at line 43.
im trying to compare time value of to two datetimepickers, i tried to use dt_Start.Value.TimeOfDay > dt_End.Value.TimeOfDay but it doesn't work. btw, i trying to make a scheduler. here are some of my codes:
Dim strUpdate As String If dt_Start.Value.Date > dt_End.Value.Date Then MsgBox("End date is earlier than Start Date. Please check.", vbExclamation, "Error!") ElseIf dt_Start.Value.Date < Today.Date Then
If Object.Value IsNot "Something" Then Can you do this, or are there certain cases in which it wouldn't work? Wasn't sure if this should only be used for integers and booleans.

I want somehow to temporarily store and compare two images capture from my web cam every 5 sec. (basically i`m going to use this as motion detection)I figure out how to perform pixel to pixel comparison but the problem is how can i store the images temporarily every 5 sec?Do i need an array?Can i avoid saving the images for the motion detection?Also is it better to convert the images into gray scale or black & white for the comparison or as they are
I want to compare between the cell value with the value (parameter) in database. As example, if my cellvalue value is 3 and my paramater(a) in my database is 5 it will be like this if cellvalue<a then (some code) end if I don't know the exact data type. The reason I need to use data type is because my data is dynamic.

I am making a Texas hold'em poker game for my class project. I already have the cards in the game through an image list. I am now trying to compare the player cards with the flop, turn, and river card to tell the player what they have and if they have won or not. I have tried a number of different things but have come up short. This is the last thing I tried[code]...
