Value of type 'General' cell different from 'Number' or 'Text'?
Hi,
I have a problem to get single numeric values from an Excel worksheet (that I need to process as I receive it). The Value property is null for a type General field. The Value property contains the right value in case of number or text type. I use the Microsoft Excel 9.0 Library (and C#) because I need to process Excel 2000/2003 files. It must be simple, but I can't find the solution. Who can help me? Thanks, Gijs |

Read the value as text. you can then use then can test the string in C# using
IsNumber(). "Gijs" wrote: Hi, I have a problem to get single numeric values from an Excel worksheet (that I need to process as I receive it). The Value property is null for a type General field.

The cell contents text is always stored in the same location. Number and
text may end up in a different class an be right or left justified. I think it would be better just to force text to be read. Then do you own type conversion is C#. In excel yo sometimes end up with spaces in front or at the end of a number which would convert the number to text. I often in excel vba perform a trim to get rid of extra spaces. A worksheet is entered by hand and not by a program. People often type extra spaces into excel worksheets. Programs then have a lot of problems handling the extra space conditions.
