How can I lookup range dynamic with merged cells?

[khanh_dinh]

Hello everyone,

I’m a newbie and I’m facing 1 issue as below:

I have some excel files, 1 sheet per file, and 2 tables inside the sheet.

The range of the table is dynamic in each file. (Do not fix the position of the column, It just fixed the position of the title name)

As you can see in the image below: I would like to extract 2 tables with a title names as “HN” (yellow) and “HCM” (Green).

Please refer to the attached file for an example.

Please teach me how can I do about this issue.

Thank you so much.

You can try like this…So basically read the data and whenever you have merged rows you will get data only in the first column by default…So by reading them you can find the index of columns where the data starts and then you can convert tindex to excel column name and use it to read the data

Array.IndexOf(dt.Rows(0).ItemArray,"HCM")

Convert to excel column name
