Manipulating xlsx files in .NET can appear complicated and tedious however, doing so only requires a few lines of codes while using Xceed Workbooks for .NET. Let’s look at a quick example :

To Open an existing xlsx :

using( var doc = Workbook.Load( "test.xlsx") ) // Loads an existing Workbook named “test.xlsx”.
{
var worksheet = doc.Worksheets[ 1 ]; // Gets the second worksheet.
worksheet.Cells[ “A2” ].Value = 12; // Sets a value in “A2”.
var stream = new MemoryStream();
doc.SaveAs( stream); // Saves the result in a stream.
}

var stream = new MemoryStream();
using( var doc = Workbook.Create( stream ) ) // Creates a workbook in a stream.
{
var worksheet = doc.Worksheets[ 1 ]; // Gets the second worksheet.
worksheet.Cells[ “A2” ].Value = 12; // Sets a value in “A2”.
worksheet.Columns[ 1 ].Cells[ 0 ].Formula = “=SUM(A1:A2)”; //Sets a formula in “B1”.
doc.CalculateFormulas(); // Calculate the Value of “B1”, which contains a formula and for all other Worksheets containing cells with formulas.
doc.Save(); // Saves the Workbook in the stream.
}
