Posted on by Subramanya 165

Hi,

I'm able to read text file contents from attachments in crm, But its not happening with excel how to read the contents from attachments if its an excel file.

byte[] fileContent = Convert.FromBase64String(attachment.Body);
var decodedString = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(fileContent);

any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

Subramamnya

    You can try below code to read excel in memory. You can search for SpreadsheetDocument class to get the assembly.

    byte[] fileContent = Convert.FromBase64String(attachment.Body);

    using (var msStream = new MemoryStream())

    {

               msStream.Write(fileContent, 0, fileContent.Length);

               using (var excelDoc = SpreadsheetDocument.Open(msStream, true))

               {

               }

              msStream.Position = 0;

              var result = msStream.ToArray();

              msStream.Flush();

    }
