4.1. Reading XLSX file

Reading XLSX files in C# is quite easy using IronXL. The below example will discuss how reading a Microsoft Excel workbook using C# is a piece of cake.

This is an example of an XLSX file containing data from the range A1 to D5 for the following example.

The Excel File that will be used in this example

using IronXL;
using System;
using System.Linq;

// Load the workbook from a file
WorkBook workBook = WorkBook.Load("test.xlsx");

// Access the first worksheet in the workbook
WorkSheet workSheet = workBook.WorkSheets[0];

// Print the content of the worksheet to the console
Console.Write(workSheet);

using IronXL;
using System;
using System.Linq;

// Load the workbook from a file
WorkBook workBook = WorkBook.Load("test.xlsx");

// Access the first worksheet in the workbook
WorkSheet workSheet = workBook.WorkSheets[0];

// Print the content of the worksheet to the console
Console.Write(workSheet);

Imports IronXL
Imports System
Imports System.Linq

' Load the workbook from a file
Private workBook As WorkBook = WorkBook.Load("test.xlsx")

' Access the first worksheet in the workbook
Private workSheet As WorkSheet = workBook.WorkSheets(0)

' Print the content of the worksheet to the console
Console.Write(workSheet)

The output created from the above code example

4.2. Reading Multiple Excel files

Using IronXL, you can read multiple Excel workbooks at the same time. In the source code below, multiple Excel files are read.

using IronXL;
using System;
using System.Linq;

// Load the first workbook and access its first worksheet
WorkBook workBook = WorkBook.Load("test.xlsx");
WorkSheet workSheet = workBook.WorkSheets[0];
Console.WriteLine(workSheet);
Console.WriteLine();

// Load the second workbook (CSV format) and access its first worksheet
WorkBook workBook2 = WorkBook.Load("Example2.Sheet0.csv");
WorkSheet workSheet2 = workBook2.WorkSheets[0];
Console.WriteLine(workSheet2);
Console.WriteLine();

using IronXL;
using System;
using System.Linq;

// Load the first workbook and access its first worksheet
WorkBook workBook = WorkBook.Load("test.xlsx");
WorkSheet workSheet = workBook.WorkSheets[0];
Console.WriteLine(workSheet);
Console.WriteLine();

// Load the second workbook (CSV format) and access its first worksheet
WorkBook workBook2 = WorkBook.Load("Example2.Sheet0.csv");
WorkSheet workSheet2 = workBook2.WorkSheets[0];
Console.WriteLine(workSheet2);
Console.WriteLine();

Imports IronXL
Imports System
Imports System.Linq

' Load the first workbook and access its first worksheet
Private workBook As WorkBook = WorkBook.Load("test.xlsx")
Private workSheet As WorkSheet = workBook.WorkSheets(0)
Console.WriteLine(workSheet)
Console.WriteLine()

' Load the second workbook (CSV format) and access its first worksheet
Dim workBook2 As WorkBook = WorkBook.Load("Example2.Sheet0.csv")
Dim workSheet2 As WorkSheet = workBook2.WorkSheets(0)
Console.WriteLine(workSheet2)
Console.WriteLine()

Outputting the contents of more than one Excel document

4.3. Read multiple worksheets in a single Excel file

IronXL offers another breakthrough feature to read multiple sheets in a single C# .NET program. You can use this feature for side-by-side comparisons. The below example will read multiple Excel sheets.

using IronXL;
using System;

// Load the workbook that contains multiple sheets
WorkBook workBook = WorkBook.Load("multiple.xlsx");

// Access the first worksheet
WorkSheet workSheet = workBook.WorkSheets[0];
Console.WriteLine(workSheet);
Console.WriteLine();

// Access the second worksheet
WorkSheet workSheet1 = workBook.WorkSheets[1];
Console.WriteLine(workSheet1);
Console.WriteLine();

using IronXL;
using System;

// Load the workbook that contains multiple sheets
WorkBook workBook = WorkBook.Load("multiple.xlsx");

// Access the first worksheet
WorkSheet workSheet = workBook.WorkSheets[0];
Console.WriteLine(workSheet);
Console.WriteLine();

// Access the second worksheet
WorkSheet workSheet1 = workBook.WorkSheets[1];
Console.WriteLine(workSheet1);
Console.WriteLine();

Imports IronXL
Imports System

' Load the workbook that contains multiple sheets
Private workBook As WorkBook = WorkBook.Load("multiple.xlsx")

' Access the first worksheet
Private workSheet As WorkSheet = workBook.WorkSheets(0)
Console.WriteLine(workSheet)
Console.WriteLine()

' Access the second worksheet
Dim workSheet1 As WorkSheet = workBook.WorkSheets(1)
Console.WriteLine(workSheet1)
Console.WriteLine()
