ImportData Method



Signature:

public Area ImportData ( Object[][] data , String[] columnNames , DataImportProperties properties )

Description:

Imports data from a two-dimensional array of objects to the specified Area . The new data will overwrite values and formulas in the target worksheet cells, but existing formatting will be preserved.

Parameters:

data     A two-dimensional array of values to import to the worksheet. By default, the first dimension corresponds to column and the second to row (that is, Object[column][row]). Thus, an array of data {{"A","B","C"},{"X","Y",Z"}} would be inserted into the worksheet as:
A X
B Y
C Z
If you enable DataImportProperties.setTranspose , the format will be [row][column] and the same array would be inserted as:
A B C
X Y Z
columnNames     An array of column names for the imported data. columnNames and the column dimension of data must contain the same number of elements.
properties     A DataImportProperties object that contains a set of properties to use when importing data to the area.

Returns:

Area An Area object representing the set of cells populated with the imported values.

Examples:

[csharp]
DataImportProperties importProps = oWorkbook.CreateDataImportProperties();
importProps.Truncate = true;
Area importedArea = a.ImportData(dataArray, fieldNames, importProps);
[vbnet]
Dim importProps As DataImportProperties = wb.CreateDataImportProperties()
importProps.Truncate = True
Dim importedArea As Area = a.ImportData(dataArray, fieldNames, importProps)
