Reading Excel Data By Column?
Oct 5, 2011
I have never read from an excel file in VB.NET before so sorry if anything is off.I am downloading an .csv file from a vendors ftp service that has 8 columns ( style # - mfr.item # - description - metal type - availability - center weight - total weight - retail value )I am trying to retrieve all data in the rows bellow style # and retail valuethere are roughly 4,649 rowsI am not sure how to do this.
I load the excel file using the microsoft.office.interop.excel:
Dim eApp As excel.Application
Dim eBook As excel.Workbook

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 some data from an Excel 8.0 worksheet using OLEDB thusly:(Warning - contains curly braces)
Code:
DbProviderFactory factory = DbProviderFactories.GetFactory("System.Data.OleDb");
using (DbConnection connection = factory.CreateConnection())
{
[code]....
The problem is that for some columns it sets the data type to be Double even though the spreadsheet column format is "Text" and teh column contains non-numeric data. Then when it gets to that cell it returns DBNull instead of the text value.

I'm developing application in VB.NET 2008.I'm reading data from Excel through OledbConnection. Here data are reading sometimes perfectly but sometimes it is missing to read some data.
Example :In Excel ,I have 79 columns in excel and 4 rows , first 3 rows are headers so after import i'll delete that rows and actual data starts from 4, so here i have only one row.After Reading through oledb, that dataset's datatable has only first 3 rows( first row became header and 2 & 3 row only in datatable, its ignoring 4th row)

I'm a new VB programmer, although I have a decent background in java.Anyways, I'm learning VB and I'm trying to read data from an Excel file using VB 2008 and can't figure out how to accomplish this. I can't seem to get any data from the Excel spreadsheet to display in a simple Windows form. Also, there's a decent amount of data in the spreadsheet so I was wondering if it makes sense to just read data as needed from the excel spreadsheet or if there was some type of data structure that I could import the entire Excel spreadsheet into and do my analysis from there.

G'day all, I've been on google for far too long trying to figure this out, so hopefully somebody can point me in the right direction. I'm trying to write a program that will open an Excel spreadsheet and read data from specific cells while preserving datatypes, so that I can write the data to an XML file. The basic functions I need to perform reduce to:

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.

I have some trouble with opening a excel sheet and getting some data out of it.
I want my program to have a button, when pressed, gives a "select excel file" popup and then load the data from some cells into my sql database.
So, when opening a excel file the program should get the data from cell D3 to D8 and put that into the sql database.
I now have the following, but that will only open the excel file.
Public Class Form1
Dim oConn As ADODB.Connection
Private Sub ConnectDB()

In my application I read data (using data binding) from an Excel spreadsheet into a DataGridView. This works, but the data columns contain text fields (strings). I would like to set the data type for some columns to "Date" and Decimal. I cant do this on the DataGridView (error: cant change properties for data-bound stuff) and I cant figure out how to do it on the dataset or data-table that I bind to the DataGridView.The following is the code I use to read and bind the data:
Using con As OleDbConnection = New OleDbConnection(cs)
'
'open the OleDbConnection
[code]....
The commented out code (below the 'Todo: comment) causes a additional table, but I want to change the table with the data.

I want to be able to get the table structure / design / column information from an access database. I have created a post in the Database/Access section with no luck, here, but I am wondering if I could achieve this through vb (2008 express edition) rather than the access sql query itself. My overall goal is to compare one DB structure with another, an integrity check if you will.

I'm working on a piece of software to read a comma separated text files with thousands of lines each line has around 32 word separated with a comma What my code does at the moment it reads the file line by line choose 11 words out of the 32 and outputs them into a new file. This is actually time consuming although i used threads and a progress bar my manager still not happy. So i was thinking if i can read the whole text file into a 2 dimensional array and then choose certain Colums to output on the new file that will make it work much faster. But i don't know how to read a whole colum from a 2 dimensional array. And let's say for example the array is gonna be like array(9500)(32) where the first argument representing the number of lines and the second represents the number of fields in each line. Is there any way to access it like this array(all lines)(15) I'm using vb.net 2008

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)?

Is there a way to auto-update a listview based on reading a column?
Requirements:
1) The code must make a call to a user-created "Private Sub" to recalculate
2) Update must be automatic. .SelectedItem or clicking a row will not work
3) The formula function cannot be included in Form_Load
I've got everything working if the user selects a row, then clicks an "update" button using .SelectedItem. But with my current program containing 200 rows, it's not feasible. Simply put, how would I go about updating a listview column (0 in this case) based off a call to a formula, then updating the row?
