在第一行中使用没有标题的ADO.NET从Excel Sheet获取数据

Question

Is there a way retrieving Data from an Excel-Sheet using ADO.net and header names when the headers are not on row one?

eg

[1: |BLANK | BLANK | BLANK   | ] < Blank row
[2: |Name  | Age   | Address | ] < Header row
[3: |John  | Smith | Abstr.  | ] < Data row

Isn't there a possibility to specify a "starting cell" ? eg

Range A9:EndOfFile

And would this trick resolve my problem?

Answer 1

Perhaps you could import the dataset from Excel as if it did not have a header row, then extract the data from the desired row and use programmatically set the headers for your DataTable from that data. For the ConnectionString, you can set HDR=NO to read every row as data.

Here's a link related to Excel ConnectionStrings and the HDR setting: https://www.connectionstrings.com/excel/
