Import 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

I apologise if this double posted, but first one seemed to fail, I
will delete one if that is the case

Sorry logged in through different place and different id since google seems
screwed up.

I need an answer in vb since I do not ever code in C# and know nothing about
it, I did try to find the snippets but couldn't, but I doubt it would have
helped anyway since I can only just about manage vb

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.

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...

I will try to explain my situation. I know that it is hard to offers solutions without fully understanding what people would like to achieve. I receive 2 csv files every month.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
