Read multiple sheets of an excel file according to npoi

As we all know, npoi components can read and create Excel files when you don’t have Office installed locally. But we usually read the first sheet of C # tutorial of an excel file by default. So if you want to read all the sheets of an excel, what should you do?

Now let’s tell you how to operate npoi to read all sheets of Excel.

First of all, let’s explain how to operate a class created by Excel, which I named execlhelp

                this.fileName = fileName;
                disposed = false;
            }

The datatabletoexcel method is to export data to excel, and the parameters are annotated in the code, which can be applied directly. Exceltodatatable mainly imports Excel data into databtable. Similarly, parameters are also included in comments. We mainly talk about the returnsheetlist method. Before reading, we need to judge whether the imported excel version is a high version or a low version. This is because npoi provides different operation classes of high and low versions. Versions greater than 03 and less than 07 provide hssfworkbook, and versions less than 07 provide xssfworkbook. then workbook.NumberOfSheets This is mainly to get how many sheets there are in an excel file. We read the sheet according to the loop traversal, and then transfer the name of the sheet name and the corresponding index to a data dictionary for saving. So the data dictionary contains all the content sheets and corresponding indexes of the excel file you imported. With the use of exceltodatatable, you can switch to read different sheets of an excel.

The above is the details of reading multiple sheets of an excel file according to npoi
