Import specific column from excel XP

Hi,

I have just been asked to create an app that will import a specific
column from an excel spreadsheet, something like sheet1 columnD or a
column with the first row with a value of 'ID' whichever would be
easier. The rest of what I need to do once I have the data I am ok
with but the connecting to the spreadsheet and extracting a column
into an array or dataset or whatever would work best I have no clue.

I would appreciate some actual code examples, I know this represents
doing my work for me, (actual work not homework) but I can assure you
this is only a small part of the overall project.

If it is not possible to specify a specific column, alternative
suggestions would also be appreciated.

Thank you in advance

Still, I'm not coming to a firm conclusion over whether it was the better approach, and wonder if I should do it differently the next time I'm faced with a similar issue. I needed an app to automatically import from spreadsheets with a semi-dynamic structure,...

A 'newbie' question - importing into Access from Excel. Googled the group postings but I can't find the amswer I have a 50 line three column file in Excel that contains Names and Tel numbers. Each column is named to agree with the Access database. Read the instructions "Import Excel files into an Access database". Followed them to the letter. Everything goes well until the final Wizard action is clicked "Import to table 'PHONEDIR'.

Is there anyway to programatically confirm that specific field names exist in the first row of a given Excel spreadsheet from code within Access? I have code set up to import data from our spreadsheets from HQ into our Access database for further use, using the first row as column headings to determine the destination field in the Access table. Since it's possible (and probable) that HQ could change the format of the spreadsheets without...

Hi Before I start coding I need to be sure that nobody else has not done it yet and that I can use it. I need an import utility which import data from Excel to a database or some object in .NET. The data in Excel is not in structured columns but can exist everywhere in the workbook. For example if I am supposed to import a person and all his/her cars which exist in a workbook I want to be able to create an import protocol and specify...

The csv files change name each month. Each file contains 13 columns and around 20k rows. In each file, the first row is the heading. I have created a database that helps me sort out the data. Prior to importing into the database, I have been copying the csv...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
