How to read Excel data having Number format ;;; ie hidden value in C# using spreadsheet gear.


Solution

  • I am not sure that I understand your question. This code writes the formatted value of a cell, the number format and the unformatted value:

    using System;
    
    namespace WriteFormattedCellWithSpreadsheetGear
    {
        class Program
        {
            static void Main(string[] args)
            {
                var workbook = SpreadsheetGear.Factory.GetWorkbook(@"C:\tmp\MyWorkbook.xlsx");
                var worksheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];
                var a1 = worksheet.Cells["A1"];
                // Write the formatted data
                Console.WriteLine("Text={0}", a1.Text);
                // Write the number format
                Console.WriteLine("NumberFormat={0}", a1.NumberFormat);
                // Write the raw data
                Console.WriteLine("Value={0}", a1.Value);
            }
        }
    }
