If the data is not uniform but the row and column is fixed then you can use Excel Objects Library instead of OleDB provider. something like the below code:

Excel.Workbook theWorkbook = ExcelObj.Workbooks.Open(openFileDialog1.FileName, 0, true, 5,
          "", "", true, Excel.XlPlatform.xlWindows, "\t", false, false,
          0, true); 
     Excel.Sheets sheets = theWorkbook.Worksheets;
     Excel.Worksheet worksheet = (Excel.Worksheet)sheets.get_Item(1);
     for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++)
     {
     Excel.Range range = worksheet.get_Range("A"+i.ToString(), "J" + i.ToString());
     System.Array myvalues = (System.Array)range.Cells.Value;
}

If the data is formatted and has sequential data then you can use OleDB provider.

hi,
you should get the data from OLEDB connection from the excel sheet. Populae the data in a datatable/Dataset and then you can filter the rows from the dataset and insert the ones you want and leave the ones you dont want...
the point is get the whole data and then filter rather then filter and then retrieve.
hope it helps.
best of luck

string Con_Str = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + FullPath + ";Extended Properties=\"Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1\";";
                    OleDbConnection con = new OleDbConnection(Con_Str);

                    String qry = "SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]";
                    OleDbDataAdapter odp = new OleDbDataAdapter(qry, con);
                    DataSet ds = new DataSet();
                    odp.Fill(ds);

                    DataSet ds = new DataSet();
                    odp.Fill(ds);


Note: Using ds you can perform desire operation.

Solution 5

simply get your whole excel sheet in dataset or datatable
