Question

Could someone point me in the right direction on how to read a Excel spreasheet, loop through all the rows and columns to retreive value using EPPlus and MVC? So fare I see examples to create a spreasheet, but did not find any on opening an excel file and read values from it. Any help would be appreciated.

TIA
Sue..

Answer 1

Simple example

// Get the file we are going to process
var existingFile = new FileInfo(filePath);
// Open and read the XlSX file.
using (var package = new ExcelPackage(existingFile))
{
    // Get the work book in the file
    var workBook = package.Workbook;
    if (workBook != null)
    {
        if (workBook.Worksheets.Count > 0)
        {
            // Get the first worksheet
            var currentWorksheet = workBook.Worksheets.First();

            // read some data
            object col1Header = currentWorksheet.Cells[1, 1].Value;
