writing data to a excel template
« on: June 02, 2018, 11:35:05 AM »
Hi AHMI community.  I am looking for some basic help writing data to an excel file.  I have created an excel that I want to use as a template.  My app has a listview control that I populate with data.  I need to get this data to the excel file.  I believe I need to use a reference to Microsoft excel some how but not sure how to get started, google has some info but a little over my head.  Any help is appreciated, thanks.

If you want to write the data only to the file, but not view the live data in Excel, then you can use EPPlus.

In Visual Studio, go to Project->Manage NuGet Packages
Search for and Install EPPlus

If you search EPPlus on this forum, there are a few examples. You can also find some example projects here:

If you don't find a good enough example to fit what you want to do, let me now and I will put something together.
