I have a program that opens an Excel workbook (not visible to the user) using Excel.Interop. I set some cell values, then I fill a DataTable from a worksheet Table that has formulas dependent on these cells using a select statement in an OLEDB command/connection, but I always get the original file Table data, not the updated data from the currently opened workbook. Is there a way to select the current data in the Table from the currently opened workbook using OLEDB? Or do I have to use the Interop to loop thru the Table rows and fill my DataTable that way?
