Hi All,

I have a requirement in my project to read comments in an excel document and process those comments.

I am using Open XML approach to do this.
Can anyone suggest a way to achieve this ?

The above links deals with retrieving the cell values. But i need the comments assigned to a particular cell.

Can you post a sample code regarding the same.

Thanks in Advance,

Hi,

In all the above mentioned links source is mentioned related to retrieving data/values from the excel cells OR setting values to excel cells.
What i wanted is if there are any comments attached to the excel cells, i need the list of all the comments along with the cell numbers (Eg, A1, D4 etc).

Is it possible using OpenXML SDK ?

Thanks in Advance.

Hi,

i solved using the below mentioned code.

SpreadsheetDocument spreadSheetDocument = SpreadsheetDocument.Open(/* Excel File Name */, true);

XML

WorkbookPart workBookPart = spreadSheetDocument.WorkbookPart;
List<string> lstComments = new List<string>();
foreach (WorksheetPart sheet in workBookPart.WorksheetParts)
{
    foreach (WorksheetCommentsPart commentsPart in sheet.GetPartsOfType<WorksheetCommentsPart>())
    {
        foreach (Comment comment in commentsPart.Comments.CommentList)
        {
            lstComments.Add(comment.InnerText);
        }
    }
}

lstComments contains the Comments present in all the sheets. We can further refine it for a particular sheet also.

Thanks and Regards,
