    Any better method to incorporate particular Range from Excel Sheet to ListView

    Hello

    Would like to have some guidance as to which method to adopt for incorporating particular Range from Excel Sheet to Listview.

    Is It that i need to create new data table for range of colums and rows, Get Range address and on basis of range address. the Listview is filled up with respective Rows and Colums.

    Because i tried to achieve the above really not in an efficient manner.
    1. ComboBox and Texbox values are uploaded
    2. Clicking on ComboBox value respectve DataTable index Value item is displayed in ComboBox and Textbox..
    3. So far working smoothly ie. Click on ComboBox Item which is loaded correctly with Respective Textbox Data displayed with the value of DataTable index
    Rather not a good step i took from step 4 onwards
    4. As I wanted to update Listview Object/Control First i tried to MAtch the value in comboBox which is also in the Range of Excel sheet and getting the Range address
    5. Button Was created to update the listView that was with which result was displayed correctly. But it takes more minutes to get the range uploaded in the Listview.
    6. Secondly When Typing second value in combox the listView did not update correctly
    7. Why does it take so much of time to update Listview Object just for a range of Worksheet ?


    Any better methods to work on to achieve the following
    Rather than Button Object to function I would prefer Clicking a Combobox or Enter or Dblclick pressed and to upload the Listview for Particular Range of Worksheet
    on that second it displays the range in Listview

    Eg if typed Fruits in combobox then Sheet5 contains B coloum with Value "Fruits" ie from B3:B9 and From Range B3:E9 it displays the other values

    Thanks in advance

    Thread 2: 892141 :

    Indeed a Good One HaHa

    FYI adopted, from the above thread and planning to change.
    Before uploading the lisView object thought of getting range address
    The logic goes like
    Get Fruits, Things from one Column of sheet1 and the names of from the other Sheet where column with "Fruits", "Things" wiil be there in another sheet.

    Unfortunately i get Error
    System.Runtime.InteropServices.InvalidComObjectException: 'COM object that has been separated from its underlying RCW cannot be used.'

    It seems i cannot use the Two or More different sheets at a time of same workbook if i've understood the above error correctly.
    Because to create columns in ListView will have different set of columns. So i thought of creating Two sheets . in case this type of requirement could crop up in future.
    One sheet containg column with Fruits, Things etc and another sheet "sheet5" containing Name of Different Fruits , stock, Rate etc
    Name of things, thier stock and rates etc.
    With Thread 2 892141: 15 at least We could read the records of combobox item and other values in different textboxes.
    Now with same combobox to get the range of another worksheet is Sheet5 with data. so that the same can be uploaded in Listview
    Code:
    Imports System
    Imports System.IO
    Imports System.Data
    Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop
    Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel
    
    Public Class ufListView2
    
        Public myExcel As New Excel.Application
       
        Public dt As New System.Data.DataTable
        Public dtLstVu As New System.Data.DataTable
    
        Public xlWorkbook As Excel.Workbook
        Public xlWks1 As Excel.Worksheet
        Public xlWks5 As Excel.Worksheet
    
    
        Private Sub ufListView2_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
            myExcel = New Excel.Application
            strFilename = "C:\ABCD\Trial\LstVu2Data.xlsx"
            xlWorkbook = myExcel.Workbooks.Open(strFilename)
            SheetNamePlease = "Sheet1"
            SheetName5Please = "Sheet5"
    
    With combo1
                .DropDownStyle = ComboBoxStyle.DropDown
                .AutoCompleteMode = AutoCompleteMode.Suggest
                .AutoCompleteSource = AutoCompleteSource.ListItems
    End With

            Me.Update()
    
    Sub PullExcel()
            dt.Clear() 'clears it out so we can start fresh
            dt.Columns.Add("ComboBox1", GetType(String))

    Re: Any better method to incorporate particular Range from Excel Sheet to ListView

    I allready gave you a sample(s) to load and filter Excel Data with oleDB

    Code:
    Option Strict On
    
    
    Public Class Form1
    
    
    
        Public Function ExcelOleDb(ByVal strTextPath As String, _
        ByVal sSQL As String) As System.Data.DataTable
            Dim con As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection
            Dim myCmd As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand
            Dim myadp As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter
            Dim mydt As New System.Data.DataTable
            With con
                .ConnectionString = "provider=microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;"
                .ConnectionString &= "data source=" & strTextPath & ";"
                .ConnectionString &= "Extended Properties = ""Excel 12.0 XML"";"
            End With
            With myCmd
                .Connection = con
                .CommandType = CommandType.Text
                .CommandText = sSQL
            End With
            With myadp
                .SelectCommand = myCmd
                Try
                    .Fill(mydt)
                Catch ex As Exception
                    MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
                End Try
            End With
            Return (mydt)
        End Function
    
        Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
            'Sample.1) select all:
            DataGridView1.DataSource = ExcelOleDb("E:\TestFolder\excelFilter.xlsx", "SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]")
            '###############################
            'Sample.2) select Range: A1:C4 and show in Datagridview
            'DataGridView1.DataSource = ExcelOleDb("E:\TestFolder\excelFilter.xlsx", "SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$A1:C4]")
            '################################
    
            'Fill the ComboBox with Distinct Product names
            ComboBox1.DataSource = ExcelOleDb("E:\TestFolder\excelFilter.xlsx", "SELECT Distinct Product FROM [Sheet1$A:A]")
            ComboBox1.DisplayMember = "Product"
    
    
        End Sub
    
        Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
            'Sample.3) Filter Data with Combobox and show in Datagridview
            DataGridView1.DataSource = ExcelOleDb("E:\TestFolder\excelFilter.xlsx", "SELECT * From [Sheet1$] Where Product Like '" & ComboBox1.Text & "'")
        End Sub
    
    
    End Class
    you should consider loading the excel data to Database(Access;MySQL or...) and work from there.
    it is just going to get more and more complicated as you go along, trying to follow the Path you have in your head...
    to hunt a species to extinction is not logical !

    In Project> Reference i found the below any thing needs to be added
    Microsoft OLE DB Service Component 1.0 Type Library
    Microsoft OLE DB Simple Provider 1.0 Type Library

    Do i need to Tick mark of the above option inorder to Function smoothly
    OR

    under Tools>Connect To DataBase> Which option i select
    MS Access Database File
    MS ODBC DataSource
    MS SQL-Server
    MS SQL-Server DataBase File
    Oracle DataBase
    <Other>

    If required which option needs to be selected for the Connection String.
    If any other thing is missing or needs to be refered you may to guide me step by step for other option in VS2019. As i am not familar with OLEDB.

    Re: Any better method to incorporate particular Range from Excel Sheet to ListView

    It seems that you need to install the ACE provider, you can find it here:
    https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/down....aspx?id=13255

    There are two versions, the x64 is for 64 bit apps, and the other (x86) is for 32 bit apps. I don't think you can install both.

    I visited there it mentions Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable
    Is it correct ?

    For Windows 10 - MS Office Home and Student Version 2013 32Bit . It seems i've to go for x86. Kindly guide me

    Re: Any better method to incorporate particular Range from Excel Sheet to ListView

    Things like the version of Office etc don't matter (because this is a separate thing for programs to use), what matters is whether your program is 32-bit or not.

    Unfortunately it isn't just your program you need to worry about, because other programs on the computer might use it too. To minimise clashing with other programs, it is probably best to use 32-bit.
