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();

    }
