Read data from Excel using OfficeOpenXml .NET

To read an Excel file in .NET, you can use the EPPlus library. Here is an example code that reads an Excel file and prints the data from cell A1 and A2:

using OfficeOpenXml;

// Load the Excel file
using (var package = new ExcelPackage(new FileInfo(@"example.xlsx")))
{
    // Select the sheet you want to read
    var sheet = package.Workbook.Worksheets[1];

    // Read data from cell A1
    var cell_a1 = sheet.Cells["A1"].Value.ToString();
    Console.WriteLine(cell_a1);

    // Read data from cell A2
    var cell_a2 = sheet.Cells["A2"].Value.ToString();
    Console.WriteLine(cell_a2);
}

In this example, we first load the Excel file called “example.xlsx” using the ExcelPackage class. Then we select the first sheet in the workbook using the Worksheets property.

We read the data from cell A1 using the Cells property and the cell reference “A1”. The Value property returns the value of the cell as an object, which we convert to a string using the ToString() method.

We do the same thing for cell A2, and finally, we print the values of both cells using the Console.WriteLine() method. Note that you can modify the code to read data from any other cell by changing the cell reference in the sheet.Cells property.
