Yes it is possible. Basically, you can treat the excel file like a database. Using OLE DB[^], you can manipulate the data in your excel file as if you were doing it against a database.

Now for the examples, see the following.

aha thank you for that!! ..

here's the scenario:

i have an excel file which contains product info (ProductCode, ProductName, Qty and etc.). Now, i want to get the data of each row and each cell. My purpose of getting such data is to reflect or should i say automatically adjust (add or subtract) the remaining quantity of that product in my database based on the quantity that i got from the excel.

Excel file is just for recording the used products and that file will be uploaded to the system.

You're welcome. That seems pretty straightforward, given that you already have some guide in doing it. Should you encounter some specific issues on your scenario, feel free to post another question.
