Questions:
I’m getting result sets from Sybase that I return to a C# client.
I use the below function to write the result set data to Excel:
private static void WriteData(Excel.Worksheet worksheet, string cellRef, ref string[,] data)
{
Excel.Range range = worksheet.get_Range(cellRef, Missing.Value);
if (data.GetLength(0) != 0)
{
range = range.get_Resize(data.GetLength(0), data.GetLength(1));
range.set_Value(Missing.Value, data);
}
}
The data gets written correctly.
The issue is that since I’m using string array to write data (which is a mixture of strings and floats), Excel highlights every cell that contains numeric data with the message “Number Stored as Text”.
How do I get rid of this issue?
Many thanks,
Chapax
How to&Answers:
Try the following: replace your array of string by an array of object.
var data = new object[2,2];
data[0, 0] = "A";
data[0, 1] = 1.2;
data[1, 0] = null;
data[1, 1] = "B";
var theRange = theSheet.get_Range("D4", "E5");
theRange.Value2 = data;
If I use this code, equivalent to yours:
var data = new string[2,2];
I get the same symptom as you.
As a side benefit, you don’t have to cast anything to string: you can fill your array with whatever you want to see displayed.
Answer：
Try setting the NumberFormat property on the range object.
