How to adjust Excel columns count to project into DataTable in C#?

I am trying to fetch data from Excel sheet and fill data into an DataTable in c# by using EPPlus by this code:
ExcelPackage.LicenseContext = LicenseContext.NonCommercial;
using(var _excel = new ExcelPackage(new FileInfo(fileAddress)){
var data = excel.Workbook.Worksheets[0].Cells.ToDataTable(options =>
{
options.FirstRowIsColumnNames = true;
options.EmptyRowStrategy = EmptyRowsStrategy.StopAtFirst;
});
}
but when I am running this code I am getting this error:
first row contains an empty cell at index 4
which 4 is the index of the first empty cell after data ends.
I try to set column mapping but no progress has been made. is there any way to determine the table dimension to cast to DataTable?

Add Nuget package of ClosedXML to the solution.
using ClosedXML.Excel;
call this function when you want in your code:
string strFileName = #"C:\VSTSInput\InputFileVSTS_File1.xlsx";
string strSheetName = "Sheet 1";
DataTable DT_InputData = GetDataFromExcel(strFileName, strSheetName);
Create the following as a method, to reuse it:
public static DataTable GetDataFromExcel(string path, dynamic worksheet)
{
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
//Open the Excel file using ClosedXML.
using (XLWorkbook workBook = new XLWorkbook(path))
{
//Read the first Sheet from Excel file.
IXLWorksheet workSheet = workBook.Worksheet(worksheet);
//Create a new DataTable.
//Loop through the Worksheet rows.
bool firstRow = true;
foreach (IXLRow row in workSheet.Rows())
{
//Use the first row to add columns to DataTable.
if (firstRow)
{
foreach (IXLCell cell in row.Cells())
{
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(cell.Value.ToString()))
{
dt.Columns.Add(cell.Value.ToString());
}
else
{
break;
}
}
firstRow = false;
}
else
{
int i = 0;
DataRow toInsert = dt.NewRow();
foreach (IXLCell cell in row.Cells(1, dt.Columns.Count))
{
try
{
toInsert[i] = cell.Value.ToString();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine("Failed at: " + System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().Name);
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
}
i++;
}
dt.Rows.Add(toInsert);
}
}
return dt;
}
}
Your data from the excel will be added to the DataTable and you can access the columns by the following code:
foreach (DataRow dtRow in DT_InputData.Rows)
{
var dataColumn1 = dtRow[0].ToString(); //Data of 1st column in excel
var dataColumn2 = dtRow[1].ToString(); //Data of 2nd column in excel
var dataColumn3 = dtRow["Your Excel Column Name"].ToString();
}

How to enable read only permision to some specified cells and sheets in excel using openxml in c#

I am reading XML data then I pasted to data-set and the I created spreadsheet and copied the data to to sheets in spreadsheet.So now I want to only allow some sheets and cells to read-only. To prevent to no changes to headers and data in some sheets, So I am posting code used to convert the XML to excel using open XML. So I need to prevent write for some sheets and also cells some sheets.
public void ExportDSToExcel(DataSet ds, string dest)
{
using (var workbook = SpreadsheetDocument.Create(dest, DocumentFormat.OpenXml.SpreadsheetDocumentType.Workbook))
{
var workbookPart = workbook.AddWorkbookPart();
workbook.WorkbookPart.Workbook = new DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Spreadsheet.Workbook();
workbook.WorkbookPart.Workbook.Sheets = new DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Spreadsheet.Sheets();
uint sheetId = 1;
foreach (DataTable table in ds.Tables)
{
var sheetPart = workbook.WorkbookPart.AddNewPart<WorksheetPart>();
var sheetData = new DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Spreadsheet.SheetData();
sheetPart.Worksheet = new DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Spreadsheet.Worksheet(sheetData);
DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Spreadsheet.Sheets sheets = workbook.WorkbookPart.Workbook.GetFirstChild<DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Spreadsheet.Sheets>();
string relationshipId = workbook.WorkbookPart.GetIdOfPart(sheetPart);
if (sheets.Elements<DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Spreadsheet.Sheet>().Count() > 0)
{
sheetId =
sheets.Elements<DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Spreadsheet.Sheet>().Select(s => s.SheetId.Value).Max() + 1;
}
DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Spreadsheet.Sheet sheet = new DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Spreadsheet.Sheet() { Id = relationshipId, SheetId = sheetId, Name = table.TableName };
sheets.Append(sheet);
DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Spreadsheet.Row headerRow = new DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Spreadsheet.Row();
List<String> columns = new List<string>();
foreach (DataColumn column in table.Columns)
{
columns.Add(column.ColumnName);

lblstatus.Text = "Please Upload the file ";
}
}
else {
lblstatus.Text = "Please enter the name ";
}
}
}
thanks in advance so please help me to find solution in this code.

We can customise protection by password in different means.For making excel sheet specified area or column or row as read only or a full sheet into read only by giving protection to sheet by password.If we want to protect whole sheet use this code
PageMargins pageM = sheetPart.Worksheet.GetFirstChild<PageMargins>();
SheetProtection sheetProtection = new SheetProtection();
sheetProtection.Password = "admin";
sheetProtection.Sheet = true;
sheetProtection.Objects = true;
sheetProtection.Scenarios = true;
ProtectedRanges pRanges = new ProtectedRanges();
ProtectedRange pRange = new ProtectedRange();
ListValue<StringValue> lValue = new ListValue<StringValue>();
lValue.InnerText = ""; //set cell which you want to make it editable
pRange.SequenceOfReferences = lValue;
pRange.Name = "not allow editing";
pRanges.Append(pRange);
sheetPart.Worksheet.InsertBefore(sheetProtection, pageM);
sheetPart.Worksheet.InsertBefore(pRanges, pageM);
If we want specified page as read only then first give a condition filter by name then give this code .In this code lValue.InnerText = ""; is null so we are not mention cells have permission to overcome this protection. If we mention the cells we can edit up to that limit.

How to convert each column in a new table in DocumentFormat.OpenXML

I have an issue at converting from Excel file to XML file. When I convert the info in table tags, it converts in <table1></table1> <table1></table1> <table1></table1>but I need to convert each column in <table1></table1><table2></table2>...
The code is the following.

May somebody help me out with this issue?
Or any idea how to create a custom tags?
Thanks in advance.

EPPlus - How to use a template

I have recently discovered EPPlus (http://epplus.codeplex.com/).
I have an excel .xlsx file in my project with all the styled column headers.
I read on their site that you can use templates.
Does anyone know how or can provide code sample of how to use my template.xlsx file with EPPlus? I would like to be able to simply load my data into the rows without messing with the headings.

The solution I ended up going with:
using System.IO;
using System.Reflection;
using OfficeOpenXml;
//Create a stream of .xlsx file contained within my project using reflection
Stream stream = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream("EPPlusTest.templates.VendorTemplate.xlsx");
//EPPlusTest = Namespace/Project
//templates = folder
//VendorTemplate.xlsx = file
//ExcelPackage has a constructor that only requires a stream.
ExcelPackage pck = new OfficeOpenXml.ExcelPackage(stream);
After that you can use all the methods of ExcelPackage that you want on an .xlsx file loaded from a template.

To create a new package, you can provide a stream template:
// templateName = the name of .xlsx file
// result = stream to write the resulting xlsx to
using (var source = System.IO.File.OpenRead(templateName))
using (var excel = new OfficeOpenXml.ExcelPackage(result, source)) {
// Fill cells here
// Leave headers etc as is
excel.Save();
}

//This is my Implementation for EPPlus. // may be it helps.

From Excel to DataTable in C# with Open XML

I'm using Visual Studio 2008 and I need create a DataTable from a Excel Sheet using the Open XML SDK 2.0. I need to create it with the DataTable columns with the first row of the sheet and complete it with the rest of values.
Does anyone have a example code or a link that can help me to do this?

I think this should do what you're asking. The other function is there just to deal with if you have shared strings, which I assume you do in your column headers. Not sure this is perfect, but I hope it helps.
static void Main(string[] args)
{
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
using (SpreadsheetDocument spreadSheetDocument = SpreadsheetDocument.Open(#"..\..\example.xlsx", false))
{
WorkbookPart workbookPart = spreadSheetDocument.WorkbookPart;
IEnumerable<Sheet> sheets = spreadSheetDocument.WorkbookPart.Workbook.GetFirstChild<Sheets>().Elements<Sheet>();
string relationshipId = sheets.First().Id.Value;
WorksheetPart worksheetPart = (WorksheetPart)spreadSheetDocument.WorkbookPart.GetPartById(relationshipId);
Worksheet workSheet = worksheetPart.Worksheet;
SheetData sheetData = workSheet.GetFirstChild<SheetData>();
IEnumerable<Row> rows = sheetData.Descendants<Row>();
foreach (Cell cell in rows.ElementAt(0))
{
dt.Columns.Add(GetCellValue(spreadSheetDocument, cell));
}
foreach (Row row in rows) //this will also include your header row...
{
DataRow tempRow = dt.NewRow();
for (int i = 0; i < row.Descendants<Cell>().Count(); i++)
{
tempRow[i] = GetCellValue(spreadSheetDocument, row.Descendants<Cell>().ElementAt(i-1));
}
dt.Rows.Add(tempRow);
}
}
dt.Rows.RemoveAt(0); //...so i'm taking it out here.
}
public static string GetCellValue(SpreadsheetDocument document, Cell cell)
{
SharedStringTablePart stringTablePart = document.WorkbookPart.SharedStringTablePart;
string value = cell.CellValue.InnerXml;
if (cell.DataType != null && cell.DataType.Value == CellValues.SharedString)
{
return stringTablePart.SharedStringTable.ChildElements[Int32.Parse(value)].InnerText;
}
else
{
return value;
}
}

Hi The above code is working fine except one change
replace the below line of code
tempRow[i] = GetCellValue(spreadSheetDocument, row.Descendants<Cell>().ElementAt(i-1));
with
tempRow[i] = GetCellValue(spreadSheetDocument, row.Descendants<Cell>().ElementAt(i));
If you use (i-1) it will throw an exception:
specified argument was out of the range of valid values. parameter name index.

This solution works for spreadsheets without empty cells.
To handle empty cells, you will need to replace this line:
tempRow[i] = GetCellValue(spreadSheetDocument, row.Descendants<Cell>().ElementAt(i-1));
with something like this:
Cell cell = row.Descendants<Cell>().ElementAt(i);
int index = CellReferenceToIndex(cell);
tempRow[index] = GetCellValue(spreadSheetDocument, cell);
And add this method:
private static int CellReferenceToIndex(Cell cell)
{
int index = -1;
string reference = cell.CellReference.ToString().ToUpper();
foreach (char ch in reference)
{
if (Char.IsLetter(ch))
{
int value = (int)ch - (int)'A';
index = (index + 1) * 26 + value;
}
else
return index;
}
return index;
}

This is my complete solution where empty cell is also taken into consideration.
public static class ExcelHelper
{
//To get the value of the cell, even it's empty. Unable to use loop by index
private static string GetCellValue(WorkbookPart wbPart, List<Cell> theCells, string cellColumnReference)

I know it is a long time ago since this thread started. However, none of the solutions above did not really work for me. Empty cells issue and others.
I found a very good solution with 'MIT' license on GitHub:
https://github.com/ExcelDataReader/ExcelDataReader
This worked for me for both C# and VBnet applications.
Sample call from VBNET (the sample code for c# is on GitHub) :
Using stream As FileStream = New FileStream(DataPath & "\" & fName.Name, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.ReadWrite)
Using reader As IExcelDataReader = ExcelReaderFactory.CreateReader(stream)
ds = reader.AsDataSet(New ExcelDataSetConfiguration() With {
.UseColumnDataType = False,
.ConfigureDataTable = Function(tableReader) New ExcelDataTableConfiguration() With {
.UseHeaderRow = True
}
})
End Using
End Using
The result was a dataset with one table for each sheet in the workbook.
An I really like to compile the dll made in C# by myself rather then using a ready dll. So I can control what I am delivering to customers.

if rows value is null or empty get values wrong work.
all columns filled with data if it is working true. but maybe all rows not
