Hi @MAHESH1,
conserning the defaultview (“[Name] ASC, [Index No] Desc”):

  • In [Name] ASC : i suppose i have to write what i want to sort. for example Mango
  • [Index No]: should i just give a big number and make sure that is bigger than the number of element i have? because in case i have a very big list, i wont know exactly the number of Elements inside the table.
    when i try with defautview i have this exeption:
    error
    error1040×469 18.9 KB

@MAHESH1 @arivu96 @Dominic The solution you Said is fine for current scenario. I got one doubt what happens if there is huge data of different names of string type we cant hard code like sort by “mango” or “Apple”

like this :grinning:
DataTable.AsEnumerable().Where(Function(row) row(“fruit”).ToString = “apple”).CopyToDataTable()

@RajaSekhar9
I didn’t understand your requirement properly.
I will explain you what i understand
Date,Fruit,Price
1/2/2017,Mango,5
2/2/2017,Mango,6
3/2/2017,Apple,7
3/2/2017,Apple,8
4/2/2017,Orange,9
5/2/2017,Orange,10

Do you want to get the rows having apple and paste it in a sheet and Mango in different sheetand Orange in diffrent sheet .

Sorry If Iam wrong.

Mahesh

@4ever
try this Query
First Read your excel sheet and store it in a datatable dta

Collection=(From p In dta.Select()
Group p by Fruit=p.Item(“Fruit”).ToString Into Group
Select Group)

Collection type should be IEnumerable<IEnumerable< DataRows>

Then Run For Each for the collection The element type should be IEnumerable
Then Inside that Convert Item.CopyToDataTable and use the same to write in excel sheet.
Loop in such a way that it should write in different excel sheet
