I have exported data from a text file to an excel sheet,
with the help of clipboard copy and paste.
I used PIA for this.
The exporting is done properly and the data is exported to a single column i.e in the A Column.
I want to fill my data in the rows of this column ,so that they are filled properly in the cell and I dont have to expand the A column to view complete data.
And also how can i change the font of the sheet while exporting
How is this text file created? If you have full control over its contents, I suggest using a csv ( comma-seperated-value ) file instead. You won't have control over the default font excel uses but it would fulfill your requirement of having the data populate multiple columns.
Outside of using csv file to handle this data, I suggest you look into exporting it into an excel document directly, you would have full control over look and the font used for the contents.

I've been working with Excel VSTO Add-in these days, and what I need is to load some templates from the database, and fill them in the Excel cells.
The thing is I can only store the data in plain text, the style and format would be missing if I try to copy and paste a target cell and store it somewhere in the notepads (or other editors).
Is there any way to save the cell data with styles to some binary local file (or others), and when I need it sometime, I could load and fill it to a targeted cell, like I have just copied it from some cells else.
Thanks!
PS: the text might have different styles so the storage of cell's formats might not work,
I've attached an example here:
I finally solved it with
Range.Value[XlRangeValueDataType.xlRangeValueXMLSpreadsheet]
It stores the cell as XML, with all the styles I need.
I have an Excel report generation app using EPPlus. In one of sheets the formulas are getting dynamically updated, formulas referencing other sheets data. When I open the generated report I am able to see the formulas but the data is getting reflected only when I manually save the Excel sheet.
The reference sheet was also dynamically added, but when I changed it to static sheet the issue persisted.
Do I need to call some other function to update the formulas?
ok got it.
I need to call
package.Workbook.Calculate()

I have an Excel file we consider a template file. Currently, user downloads the file and then manually inputs data into the file column/row by row. What I would want to do however is save this template to a database, and then, on request, dynamically create an excel worksheet using this saved template, and then proceed to populate the columns and rows of the templated excel file with data from other database tables. the following are some of the questions I currently have --
How do I extract the schema for the template from the excel template file?
How do I create an excel file using the extracted template information?
How do I ensure that when I start to populate the created file with data, I start on the right row and column?
How do I solve these please? Any good examples of how this could done, out there?
Also, where is the Microsoft Office SDK download site? I have been searching all day.
I have a C# application that uses an existing Excel spreadsheet as a template and fills in data. In the template there is a blank row that has some style formatting such as font/border and data formatting such as currency and percentages. When filling in the data from the application I copy this row n times and fill in the data. The style formatting works but as far as the data formatting it doesn't apply until I open up the spreadsheet click on the column then off of it. Does this have something to do with Excel interpreting the values as just string data and not being able to format it? Am I stuck with having to do my data formatting in the application?
You could try explicitly formatting each row after populating it. Is this Excel 2003 or 2007?
