EasyXLS

Import XLSB file in .NET, Java and other programming languages

EasyXLS™ library allows you to import data from an XLSB file or other sheet elements like cell formatting, charts, pivot tables, comments, images and others.

EasyXLS can be successfully used to also import large XLSB files having big volume of data with fast importing time.

EasyXLS allows loading an XLSB document. Once the XLSB is loaded in memory, the user can process data, add more features to the file (like formulas, cell formatting, comments, hyperlinks, images, data validations, page setup, charts, etc), and save the file back in XLSB format or other format (XLSX, XLSM, XLS, XML Spreadsheet, XML, TXT, CSV or HTML).
It can be used to load an already formatted XLSB file as a template, add data and save back the file in XLSB format. In this way, a lot of written code that formats the XLSB file can be avoided.

EasyXLS permits you to import Excel files without Excel installed, without Interop, without OLEDB or any other additional software installed.

Import entire XLSB file

The below source code sample is a common code about how to import an XLSB file. The source code shows how to load and import an XLSB file that is used as a base template, add more data to the XLSB file and save the new workbook.
After that, the best techniques about importing data from XLSB file like importing Excel data to DataTable, GridView, DataGridView, DataSet, ResultSet, DataGrid and List are shown.

The screen shots below provide an example of the imported XLSB file, modified and saved back to another XLSB file. The file has two worksheets (First Tab and Second Tab). The data is added to the second worksheet.

Import data from XLSB file having one sheet

Importing data from an XLSB file, if the XLSB file has only one sheet, is the easiest approach. The Excel data can be imported with one single line of code using ExcelDocument.easy_ReadXLSBActiveSheet_AsDataSet method.
The above code sample shows how to achieve this goal.

Import data from XLSB file having multiple sheets

There are three approaches for importing data from an XLSB file with multiple sheets.

I. Usually the first sheet is the active sheet inside an XLSB file. If this is your case or if you are importing data from another active sheet use ExcelDocument.easy_ReadXLSBActiveSheet_AsDataSet method.

II. For importing data from an Excel sheet and the name of the sheet is known, EasyXLS recommends the use of ExcelDocument.easy_ReadXLSBSheet_AsDataSet method.

III. For importing data from an Excel sheet and the name of the sheet is not known, the first step is to find the sheet by reading the XLSB file using ExcelDocument.easy_LoadXLSBFile method.
Then, import the sheet data using ExcelDocument.easy_ReadExcelWorksheet_AsDataSet method.

Import data from range of Excel cells

EasyXLS enables you to import Excel data either from the entire sheet or from ranges of cells. Importing only a range of cells is a very useful option especially for large XLSB files because it reduces the speed of the import process.

In order to import multiple cell ranges at once from Excel sheet, the range parameter must be passed to the method as union of ranges (multiple ranges separated by comma).

All the methods that allow importing XLSB file to DataSet or ResultSet have parameters that permit importing only ranges of cells.

Import all XLSB file structures

EasyXLS allows you to import the whole XLSB file with sheets, data inside sheets, formulas, cell formatting, comments, hyperlinks, images, data validation, page setup, macros, groups, filters, charts, pivot tables and pivot charts.

The first above code sample shows how to achieve this goal.
