Delphi Excel connection
Posted on 2016-08-16
I have connected Delphi to an Excel workbook usibng Ado. I can see the spreadsheet in Delphi DB Grid. But how in code do I refer to an Excel cell? So in Excel sheet 1 column is F18, and the row is 5, How do I retrieve the value of this cell to use in, say, an edit box?

like this , for example:
procedure TForm1.HandleData;
var
Sheet: Variant;
i: Integer;
begin
Sheet := XLApp.Workbooks[1].Worksheets['Delphi Data'];
for i := 1 to 10 do
Sheet.Cells][i, 1] := i;
end;
