Import Excel Data into GridView & Export to Excel Sheet

Introduction

Recently I worked on a site in which we were required to import excel in website and calculate internal fields then display in grid view and save data in database then export to excel File.

That was really nice and I decided to put the code here.

1) Aspx Page

var oBook = oExcel.Workbooks.Add;

var oSheet = oBook.Worksheets(1);

var dt = document.getElementById('tbl')

// detailsTable is the table where the content to be exported is

{

oExcel.UserControl = true;
