Creating a New Excel File

Creating a new Excel file is a common task in data manipulation and reporting. With IronXL, you can effortlessly create Excel files with a few lines of code, add worksheets, and populate them with data.

The following code shows how we can create an Excel file using IronXL:

using IronXL;

// Initialize a new Workbook
var workbook = new WorkBook();
// Add a new Worksheet named "Sales Data"
var worksheet = workbook.CreateWorkSheet("Sales Data");

// Populate the Worksheet with data
worksheet["A1"].Value = "Month";
worksheet["B1"].Value = "Sales";
worksheet["A2"].Value = "January";
worksheet["B2"].Value = 5000;
worksheet["A3"].Value = "February";
worksheet["B3"].Value = 6000;

// Save the Workbook as an Excel file
workbook.SaveAs("SalesReport.xlsx");

using IronXL;

// Initialize a new Workbook
var workbook = new WorkBook();
// Add a new Worksheet named "Sales Data"
var worksheet = workbook.CreateWorkSheet("Sales Data");

// Populate the Worksheet with data
worksheet["A1"].Value = "Month";
worksheet["B1"].Value = "Sales";
worksheet["A2"].Value = "January";
worksheet["B2"].Value = 5000;
worksheet["A3"].Value = "February";
worksheet["B3"].Value = 6000;

// Save the Workbook as an Excel file
workbook.SaveAs("SalesReport.xlsx");

Imports IronXL

' Initialize a new Workbook
Private workbook = New WorkBook()
' Add a new Worksheet named "Sales Data"
Private worksheet = workbook.CreateWorkSheet("Sales Data")

' Populate the Worksheet with data
Private worksheet("A1").Value = "Month"
Private worksheet("B1").Value = "Sales"
Private worksheet("A2").Value = "January"
Private worksheet("B2").Value = 5000
Private worksheet("A3").Value = "February"
Private worksheet("B3").Value = 6000

' Save the Workbook as an Excel file
workbook.SaveAs("SalesReport.xlsx")

This code creates a workbook, adds a worksheet, and populates it with sales data before saving it as an Excel file.

IronXL supports standard Excel notation, enabling developers to reference cells like 'A1' for reading and manipulating data.

Reading Excel Files

Reading and extracting information from Excel files is crucial for data processing applications. IronXL allows you to open existing Excel files and read their content without Excel interop.

Here’s a code example:

using IronXL;

// Load an existing Excel file
var workbook = WorkBook.Load("FinancialData.xlsx");

// Access a specific worksheet by name
var worksheet = workbook.GetWorkSheet("Quarterly Report");

// Read values from specific cells
string quarter = worksheet["A2"].StringValue;
double revenue = worksheet["B2"].DoubleValue;
double expenses = worksheet["C2"].DoubleValue;

// You can also iterate over rows and columns if needed
foreach (var row in worksheet.Rows)
{
    foreach (var cell in row)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(cell.Value);
    }
}

using IronXL;

// Load an existing Excel file
var workbook = WorkBook.Load("FinancialData.xlsx");

// Access a specific worksheet by name
var worksheet = workbook.GetWorkSheet("Quarterly Report");

// Read values from specific cells
string quarter = worksheet["A2"].StringValue;
double revenue = worksheet["B2"].DoubleValue;
double expenses = worksheet["C2"].DoubleValue;

// You can also iterate over rows and columns if needed
foreach (var row in worksheet.Rows)
{
    foreach (var cell in row)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(cell.Value);
    }
}

Imports IronXL

' Load an existing Excel file
Private workbook = WorkBook.Load("FinancialData.xlsx")

' Access a specific worksheet by name
Private worksheet = workbook.GetWorkSheet("Quarterly Report")

' Read values from specific cells
Private quarter As String = worksheet("A2").StringValue
Private revenue As Double = worksheet("B2").DoubleValue
Private expenses As Double = worksheet("C2").DoubleValue

' You can also iterate over rows and columns if needed
For Each row In worksheet.Rows
	For Each cell In row
		Console.WriteLine(cell.Value)
	Next cell
Next row

This code demonstrates how to load an Excel file, access a specific worksheet, and read values from cells, including iterating over rows and columns.

Writing Data to Excel Files

Modifying Excel files is a frequent requirement. IronXL allows you to write and update data in Excel files with ease.

The following example illustrates adding and updating data in an Excel file:

using IronXL;

// Load an existing Excel file
var workbook = WorkBook.Load("EmployeeData.xlsx");
var worksheet = workbook.DefaultWorkSheet;

// Adding new data to cells
worksheet["A4"].Value = "John Doe";
worksheet["B4"].Value = "Sales";
worksheet["C4"].Value = 45000;

// Updating existing data
worksheet["C2"].Value = 50000; // Update salary of an existing employee

// Save the changes to a new file
workbook.SaveAs("UpdatedEmployeeData.xlsx");

using IronXL;

// Load an existing Excel file
var workbook = WorkBook.Load("EmployeeData.xlsx");
var worksheet = workbook.DefaultWorkSheet;

// Adding new data to cells
worksheet["A4"].Value = "John Doe";
worksheet["B4"].Value = "Sales";
worksheet["C4"].Value = 45000;

// Updating existing data
worksheet["C2"].Value = 50000; // Update salary of an existing employee

// Save the changes to a new file
workbook.SaveAs("UpdatedEmployeeData.xlsx");

Imports IronXL

' Load an existing Excel file
Private workbook = WorkBook.Load("EmployeeData.xlsx")
Private worksheet = workbook.DefaultWorkSheet

' Adding new data to cells
Private worksheet("A4").Value = "John Doe"
Private worksheet("B4").Value = "Sales"
Private worksheet("C4").Value = 45000

' Updating existing data
Private worksheet("C2").Value = 50000 ' Update salary of an existing employee

' Save the changes to a new file
workbook.SaveAs("UpdatedEmployeeData.xlsx")

In this example, new data is added to an Excel file, and existing data is updated, showcasing the flexibility of IronXL in data manipulation.
