Exporting Specific Columns from Excel to DataGridView in VB.NET

When working with data in Excel, it often becomes necessary to export only specific columns rather than the entire dataset. This can help in managing data more effectively, especially when dealing with large datasets. For those using VB.NET and the ClosedXML library, this post will provide a clear and concise guide on how to export specific columns from an Excel file to a DataGridView.

Problem Overview

Imagine you have a spreadsheet containing 120 columns and about 800 rows of data. You may only be interested in extracting:

Column 1 and 2

Columns 15 through 46

The question arises: How can you efficiently export these specific columns using ClosedXML in VB.NET? Let's explore how to achieve this step-by-step.

Solution Steps

The solution involves several key steps, including reading the Excel file, fetching the necessary column names, constructing a SQL-like query to select those columns, and then binding the results to a DataGridView.

Step 1: Import Required Libraries

First, ensure that you have imported the necessary libraries in your VB.NET project:

Step 2: Define Your Excel File Connection String

You will need to set a connection string for your Excel file. This connection string will allow you to establish a connection to the data:
