How to read workbook?

Hello, I cannot find how to read local excel file (.xls /.xlsx) from the API documentation. Is there any method to read , or convert to workbook from bytes?

Hi Devin, 

  

Currently, we don't have support to read Excel using Flutter XlsIO library. We have a plan for providing the support for this and it will be implemented in any of this year main release. 

  

However, you can create Excel files using "syncfusion_flutter_xlsio" library with the following features. 

• Create a simple Excel document
• Add text, number, and datetime values
• Add formulas
• Apply formatting
• Add images
• Add charts
• Add hyperlinks to texts and images
• Protect workbooks and worksheets
• AutoFit rows and columns
• Insert or delete rows and columns
• Apply conditional formatting

  

To know more about the "syncfusion_flutter_xlsio" library please refer the following link.

Thank you!

Hi Elijah,

Syncfusion Flutter XlsIO is an Excel creation library. Currently, we don't have support for opening existing Excel documents and we do not have any plans to implement this feature.

Hello,

Can you advise on how this would be done with a different package from sync fusion?

Thank you!

Hi Clayton,

Please refer to the shared link for Excel reading packages. Use it to read the Excel document in Flutter.

Disclaimer: Syncfusion does not promise to work on third-party packages. It can be used by your own choice.
