I have a weird problem with reading .xls file using OleDbDataReader.
Basically, it does not see a data in the cell, if the previous cells in the column are empty.
If I move the row with the data at the top of Excel sheet, then everything loads fine. I’m not sure, but I think that it has something to do with the amount of empty cells before the one with data.
Any help or advice will be much appreciated.
You probably have a connectionstring like this:
Notice the ‘TypeGuessRows’. It tells Excel how many rows to scan to try to guess the datatypes of the columns. The value 0 (zero) tells it to scan all rows. Does that help you?
