I have made a simple inventory interface that will take data from access and show in datagrid view on my interface and then send the information to Excel via button click. This part works as needed but I would like to remove the unused columns and rows after the information is sent. I am currently using VS 2015. I cant figure out what to add to accomplish this.
//send to excel
private void btnExport_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ActiveControl = txtSerial;
// creating Excel Application
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel._Application app = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application();
// creating new WorkBook within Excel application
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel._Workbook workbook = app.Workbooks.Add(Type.Missing);
// creating new Excelsheet in workbook
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel._Worksheet worksheet = null;
// see the excel sheet behind the program
app.Visible = true;
// get the reference of first sheet. By default its name is Sheet1.
// store its reference to worksheet
worksheet = workbook.Sheets["Sheet1"];
worksheet = workbook.ActiveSheet;
// changing the name of active sheet
worksheet.Name = "Inventory Search";
// storing header part in Excel
for (int i = 1; i < dataGridFB.Columns.Count + 1; i++)
{
worksheet.Cells[1, i] = dataGridFB.Columns[i - 1].HeaderText;
worksheet.Cells[1, i].Interior.Color = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.ToOle(System.Drawing.Color.LightBlue);
worksheet.Cells[1, i].Font.Color = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.ToOle(System.Drawing.Color.Black);
worksheet.Cells[1, i].HorizontalAlignment = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XlHAlign.xlHAlignCenter;
worksheet.Cells[1, i].Font.Size = 14;
}
// storing Each row and column value to excel sheet
for (int i = 0; i < dataGridFB.Rows.Count - 1; i++)
{
for (int j = 0; j < dataGridFB.Columns.Count; j++)
{
worksheet.Cells[i + 2, j + 1] = dataGridFB.Rows[i].Cells[j].Value.ToString();
worksheet.Cells[i + 2, j + 1].HorizontalAlignment = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XlHAlign.xlHAlignCenter;
worksheet.Cells[i + 2, j + 1].Font.Size = 12;
worksheet.Columns["A:G"].AutoFit();
}
}
}
Your question is a bit too broad, thus the answer is generic: in order to delete entire Worksheet Column you may use VBA statement like: Columns("C").Delete, or Columns(3).EntireColumn.Delete
, or Columns("F:K").Delete
. Similar syntax may apply to: Rows(3).Delete
.
In order to just hide Rows/Columns use the VBA statement like shown below:
Rows("3:10").EntireRow.Hidden = True
Columns("C").Hidden = True
Hope this may help.
