    I've never heard of "Open XML class" either and unfortunately you forgot to mention when you saw it.

    If you mean Open XML SDK, you would find github.com/OfficeDev/Open-XML-SDK if you simply put it into a search engine. Let me quote the readme file:

    The Open XML SDK provides tools for working with Office Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents. It supports scenarios such as:

    • High-performance generation of word-processing documents, spreadsheets, and presentations.
    • Populating content in Word files from an XML data source.
    • Splitting up (shredding) a Word or PowerPoint file into multiple files, and combining multiple Word/PowerPoint files into a single file.
    • Extraction of data from Excel documents.
    • Searching and replacing content in Word/PowerPoint using regular expressions.
    • Updating cached data and embedded spreadsheets for charts in Word/PowerPoint.
    • Document modification, such as removing tracked revisions or removing unacceptable content from documents.

    Thanks Martin,

    In above one point is there

    Extraction of data from Excel Files

    Means Open XML class is use only for Server side only? To extract data from Excel.

    Please give me more shed on this.

    Thanks!

    Where you run the code is up to you.

    It's a .NET SDK (as you can see if you open the link I gave you above); it has nothing specific to Dynamics AX.

    It seems you've heard of it in How to import data into AX from Excel in the server side and interpreted the discussion incorrectly ("it can be used on server" vs. "is use only for Server side only").
