Ein Excel-Dokument lesen

Mit IronXL kann das Extrahieren von Daten aus einer Excel-Datei in nur wenigen Zeilen Code erfolgen.

using IronXL;

// Supported spreadsheet formats for reading include: XLSX, XLS, CSV and TSV
WorkBook workBook = WorkBook.Load("data.xlsx");
WorkSheet workSheet = workBook.WorkSheets.First();

// Select cells easily in Excel notation and return the calculated value, date, text or formula
int cellValue = workSheet["A2"].IntValue;

// Read from Ranges of cells elegantly.
foreach (var cell in workSheet["A2:B10"])
{
    Console.WriteLine("Cell {0} has value '{1}'", cell.AddressString, cell.Text);
}

using IronXL;

// Supported spreadsheet formats for reading include: XLSX, XLS, CSV and TSV
WorkBook workBook = WorkBook.Load("data.xlsx");
WorkSheet workSheet = workBook.WorkSheets.First();

// Select cells easily in Excel notation and return the calculated value, date, text or formula
int cellValue = workSheet["A2"].IntValue;

// Read from Ranges of cells elegantly.
foreach (var cell in workSheet["A2:B10"])
{
    Console.WriteLine("Cell {0} has value '{1}'", cell.AddressString, cell.Text);
}

Imports IronXL

' Supported spreadsheet formats for reading include: XLSX, XLS, CSV and TSV
Private workBook As WorkBook = WorkBook.Load("data.xlsx")
Private workSheet As WorkSheet = workBook.WorkSheets.First()

' Select cells easily in Excel notation and return the calculated value, date, text or formula
Private cellValue As Integer = workSheet("A2").IntValue

' Read from Ranges of cells elegantly.
For Each cell In workSheet("A2:B10")
	Console.WriteLine("Cell {0} has value '{1}'", cell.AddressString, cell.Text)
Next cell

Neue Excel-Dokumente erstellen

IronXL bietet eine schnelle und einfache Oberfläche zur Erstellung von Excel-Dokumenten in C# oder VB.NET.

using IronXL;

// Create new Excel WorkBook document.
WorkBook workBook = WorkBook.Create(ExcelFileFormat.XLSX);
workBook.Metadata.Author = "IronXL";

// Add a blank WorkSheet
WorkSheet workSheet = workBook.CreateWorkSheet("main_sheet");

// Add data and styles to the new worksheet
workSheet["A1"].Value = "Hello World";
workSheet["A2"].Style.BottomBorder.SetColor("#ff6600");
workSheet["A2"].Style.BottomBorder.Type = IronXL.Styles.BorderType.Double;

// Save the excel file
workBook.SaveAs("NewExcelFile.xlsx");

using IronXL;

// Create new Excel WorkBook document.
WorkBook workBook = WorkBook.Create(ExcelFileFormat.XLSX);
workBook.Metadata.Author = "IronXL";

// Add a blank WorkSheet
WorkSheet workSheet = workBook.CreateWorkSheet("main_sheet");

// Add data and styles to the new worksheet
workSheet["A1"].Value = "Hello World";
workSheet["A2"].Style.BottomBorder.SetColor("#ff6600");
workSheet["A2"].Style.BottomBorder.Type = IronXL.Styles.BorderType.Double;

// Save the excel file
workBook.SaveAs("NewExcelFile.xlsx");

Imports IronXL

' Create new Excel WorkBook document.
Private workBook As WorkBook = WorkBook.Create(ExcelFileFormat.XLSX)
workBook.Metadata.Author = "IronXL"

' Add a blank WorkSheet
Dim workSheet As WorkSheet = workBook.CreateWorkSheet("main_sheet")

' Add data and styles to the new worksheet
workSheet("A1").Value = "Hello World"
workSheet("A2").Style.BottomBorder.SetColor("#ff6600")
workSheet("A2").Style.BottomBorder.Type = IronXL.Styles.BorderType.Double

' Save the excel file
workBook.SaveAs("NewExcelFile.xlsx")

Imports IronXL

' Create new Excel WorkBook document.
Private workBook As WorkBook = WorkBook.Create(ExcelFileFormat.XLSX)
workBook.Metadata.Author = "IronXL"

' Add a blank WorkSheet
Dim workSheet As WorkSheet = workBook.CreateWorkSheet("main_sheet")

' Add data and styles to the new worksheet
workSheet("A1").Value = "Hello World"
workSheet("A2").Style.BottomBorder.SetColor("#ff6600")
workSheet("A2").Style.BottomBorder.Type = IronXL.Styles.BorderType.Double

' Save the excel file
workBook.SaveAs("NewExcelFile.xlsx")

workSheet.SaveAsXml("NewExcelFile.xml")

Zellen und Bereiche formatieren

Sie können Formatierungen auf Excel-Zellen und -Bereiche anwenden, indem Sie das IronXL.Range.Style-Objekt verwenden.

// Set cell's value and styles
workSheet["A1"].Value = "Hello World";
workSheet["A2"].Style.BottomBorder.SetColor("#ff6600");
workSheet["A2"].Style.BottomBorder.Type = IronXL.Styles.BorderType.Double;

// Set cell's value and styles
workSheet["A1"].Value = "Hello World";
workSheet["A2"].Style.BottomBorder.SetColor("#ff6600");
workSheet["A2"].Style.BottomBorder.Type = IronXL.Styles.BorderType.Double;

' Set cell's value and styles
workSheet("A1").Value = "Hello World"
workSheet("A2").Style.BottomBorder.SetColor("#ff6600")
workSheet("A2").Style.BottomBorder.Type = IronXL.Styles.BorderType.Double

' Set cell's value and styles
workSheet("A1").Value = "Hello World"
workSheet("A2").Style.BottomBorder.SetColor("#ff6600")
workSheet("A2").Style.BottomBorder.Type = IronXL.Styles.BorderType.Double

Bereiche sortieren

Mit IronXL können Sie einen Bereich von Excel-Zellen problemlos mit dem Range-Objekt sortieren.

using IronXL;
using Range = IronXL.Range;

WorkBook workBook = WorkBook.Load("test.xls");
WorkSheet workSheet = workBook.WorkSheets.First();

// This is how we get range from Excel worksheet
Range range = workSheet["A2:A8"];

// Sort the range in the sheet
range.SortAscending();
workBook.Save();

using IronXL;
using Range = IronXL.Range;

WorkBook workBook = WorkBook.Load("test.xls");
WorkSheet workSheet = workBook.WorkSheets.First();

// This is how we get range from Excel worksheet
Range range = workSheet["A2:A8"];

// Sort the range in the sheet
range.SortAscending();
workBook.Save();

Imports IronXL

Dim workBook As WorkBook = WorkBook.Load("test.xls")
Dim workSheet As WorkSheet = workBook.WorkSheets.First()

' This is how we get range from Excel worksheet
Dim range As Range = workSheet("A2:A8")

' Sort the range in the sheet
range.SortAscending()
workBook.Save()

Imports IronXL

Dim workBook As WorkBook = WorkBook.Load("test.xls")
Dim workSheet As WorkSheet = workBook.WorkSheets.First()

' This is how we get range from Excel worksheet
Dim range As Range = workSheet("A2:A8")

' Sort the range in the sheet
range.SortAscending()
workBook.Save()

Formeln bearbeiten

Das Ändern einer Excel-Formel ist so einfach wie das Zuweisen eines Wertes, der mit einem "="-Zeichen beginnt. Die Formel wird sofort berechnet.

// Set a formula
workSheet["A1"].Value = "=SUM(A2:A10)";

// Get the calculated value
decimal sum = workSheet["A1"].DecimalValue;

// Set a formula
workSheet["A1"].Value = "=SUM(A2:A10)";

// Get the calculated value
decimal sum = workSheet["A1"].DecimalValue;

' Set a formula
workSheet("A1").Value = "=SUM(A2:A10)"

' Get the calculated value
Dim sum As Decimal = workSheet("A1").DecimalValue

' Set a formula
workSheet("A1").Value = "=SUM(A2:A10)"

' Get the calculated value
Dim sum As Decimal = workSheet("A1").DecimalValue

Warum IronXL wählen?
