How to Update Dependent Excel Cells Automatically


I was facing some issue to update excel cell which was depended on some formula,
I need to change 'Comparison_Rate_Calculator' by Programming and need to read
Calculated value by formula '=+HLOOKUP(C3,Workings!$D$1:$AJ$2,2,FALSE)'
over 'Comparison_Rate_Calculator_Values' column.

I didn't get calculated value even i was able to change 'Comparison_Rate_Calculator' column's value.


So I got solutions by refreshing Excel WorkSheet and Here is the Solutions.

File: Web.Config

<connectionstrings>
  <add
      name="xls"
      connectionstring="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=D:\AshvinWorkspace\POCs\ReadExcelSheet\ReadExcelSheet\Files\HLComparisonRateCalculator.xls;Extended Properties=Excel 8.0">
  </add>
</connectionstrings>

File: Default.aspx.cs

public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        try
        {
            DataTable dtXLSData = ChangeExcelSheetValue();
        }
        catch
        {
            throw;
        }
    }


    private DataTable ChangeExcelSheetValue()
    {
        string connString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["xls"].ConnectionString;
        OleDbConnection oledbConn = new OleDbConnection(connString);
        OleDbDataAdapter XLSDataAdp = new OleDbDataAdapter();
        DataTable dtXLSData = new DataTable();
        XLSDataAdp.SelectCommand = new OleDbCommand();
        XLSDataAdp.SelectCommand.Connection = oledbConn;
        oledbConn.Open();

        XLSDataAdp.SelectCommand.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]";
        XLSDataAdp.Fill(dtXLSData);

        XLSDataAdp.SelectCommand.CommandText = "Update [Sheet1$] set Comparison_Rate_Calculator = 8.55 where SrNo=17";
        XLSDataAdp.SelectCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
        // Need to close connection, to Refresh excel cell.
        oledbConn.Close();

        RefreshExcelFile();

        // Need to Open connection, Retrives Updated Data.
        oledbConn.Open();
        dtXLSData.Clear();
        XLSDataAdp.SelectCommand.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]";
        XLSDataAdp.Fill(dtXLSData);

        oledbConn.Close();
        return dtXLSData;
    }

    private static void RefreshExcelFile()
    {
        Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application ExcelObj = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application();
        Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Workbook excelBook = ExcelObj.Workbooks.Open(@"D:\AshvinWorkspace\POCs\ReadExcelSheet\ReadExcelSheet\Files\RateCalculator.xls", false, false, Type.Missing, "", "", true, Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XlPlatform.xlWindows, "", false, false, 0, false, true, 0);
        excelBook.RefreshAll();
        excelBook.Save();

        ExcelObj.Workbooks.Close();
        ExcelObj.Quit();
        //KillProcesses("Excel");
        ReleaseComObject(ExcelObj);
    }

    private static void KillProcesses(string ProcessesName)
    {
        System.Diagnostics.Process[] processes = Process.GetProcessesByName(ProcessesName);
        foreach (System.Diagnostics.Process process in processes)
        {
            process.Kill();
        }
    }

    private static void ReleaseComObject(object ProcessReference)
    {
        try
        {
            // System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(ProcessReference);
            while (!(System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject (ProcessReference) <= 0)) { }
        }
        catch { }
        finally
        {
            ProcessReference = null;
        }
    }
}
