# XlsxBatchReader An Excel/OpenDocument Spreadsheets file batch reader, in pure Rust. This crate supports Office 2007 or newer file formats(xlsx, xlsm, etc). The most obvious difference from other Excel file reading crates is that it does not read the whole file into memory, but read in batches. So that it can maintain low memory usage, especially when reading large files. This crate supports date and time recognition, as well as obtaining merged cell ranges. For faster speed, it only supports reading data, not support formulas and other styles. # Examples 1. simple reader ```rust use xlsx_batch_reader::{get_ord_from_tuple, read::XlsxBook, MAX_COL_NUM}; fn main() -> Result<(), Box> { let mut book = XlsxBook::new("xlsx/test.xlsx", true)?; for shname in book.get_visible_sheets().clone() { // left_ncol should not be 0 // the tail empty rows will be ignored, if you want the length of cells in each row is fixed, you can set right_ncol to a number not MAX_COL_NUM let sheet = book.get_sheet_by_name(&shname, 100, 0, 1, MAX_COL_NUM, false)?; for batch in sheet { let (rows_nums, rows_data) = batch?; // empty rows will be skiped for (row, cells) in rows_nums.into_iter().zip(rows_data) { for (col, cel) in cells.into_iter().enumerate() { // supprted types: String, i64, f64, bool, Date32, Timestamp(v0.1.4), NaiveDate, NaiveDateTime(v0.1.2), NaiveTime(v0.1.2) let val: String = cel.get()?.unwrap(); println!("the value of {} is {val}; raw cell is {:?}", get_ord_from_tuple(row, (col+1) as u16)?, cel); } } }; } Ok(()) } ``` possible output: ```text the value of A1 is a; raw cell is Shared("a") the value of B1 is ; raw cell is Blank the value of C1 is c; raw cell is Shared("c") the value of D1 is d; raw cell is Shared("d") the value of A2 is 1; raw cell is Number(1.0) the value of B2 is ; raw cell is Blank the value of C2 is s; raw cell is Shared("s") the value of A4 is 2024-01-04; raw cell is Date(45295.58405092593) the value of B4 is ; raw cell is Blank the value of C4 is 4; raw cell is Number(4.0) ``` 2. merged ranges ```rust use xlsx_batch_reader::{get_num_from_ord, is_merged_cell, read::XlsxBook}; fn main() -> Result<(), Box> { let mut book = XlsxBook::new("xlsx/test.xlsx", true)?; for shname in book.get_visible_sheets().clone() { // left_ncol should not be 0 // each row will have 3 cells. let mut sheet = book.get_sheet_by_name(&shname, 100, 0, 1, get_num_from_ord("C".as_bytes())?, true)?; // this is not necessary, if you don't care about the headers. let (_, _header) = sheet.get_header_row()?; if let Some((_rows_nums, _rows_data)) = sheet.get_remaining_cells()? { // some code }; // should be called when all data have been scaned. let merged_rngs = sheet.get_merged_ranges()?; match is_merged_cell(merged_rngs, 2, get_num_from_ord("A".as_bytes())?) { (true, None) => { println!("a merged cell(not top left cell)"); }, (true, Some((nrow, ncol))) => { println!("a merged cell(top left cell), taking {nrow} row(s) and {ncol} column(s)"); }, _ => { println!("not a merged cell"); } } } Ok(()) } ``` possible output: ```text a merged cell(top left cell), taking 2 row(s) and 2 column(s) ``` 3. read date and time ```rust use chrono::{NaiveDate, NaiveDateTime, NaiveTime}; use xlsx_batch_reader::{read::XlsxBook, Timestamp, MAX_COL_NUM}; fn main() -> Result<(), Box> { let mut book = XlsxBook::new("xlsx/test.xlsx", true)?; for shname in book.get_visible_sheets().clone() { // left_ncol should not be 0 // the tail empty cells will be ignored, if you want the length of cells in each row is fixed, you can set right_ncol to a number not MAX_COL_NUM let mut sheet = book.get_sheet_by_name(&shname, 100, 3, 1, MAX_COL_NUM, false)?; if let Some((_, rows_data)) = sheet.get_remaining_cells()?
