Take a look at Linq-to-Excel. It’s pretty neat.
var book = new LinqToExcel.ExcelQueryFactory(@"File.xlsx");
var query =
from row in book.Worksheet("Stock Entry")
let item = new
{
Code = row["Code"].Cast<string>(),
Supplier = row["Supplier"].Cast<string>(),
Ref = row["Ref"].Cast<string>(),
}
where item.Supplier == "Walmart"
select item;
It also allows for strongly-typed row access too.
