How to change the table column name and update the named range in C#, VB.NET
Syncfusion Excel (XlsIO) library is a .NET Excel library used to create, read, and edit Excel documents.
This article explains how to modify the table column header name, which in turn modifies the table column header named range. The Name property of IListObjectColumn is used to achieve this.
C#
using Syncfusion.XlsIO;
namespace ChangeTableColumnName
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
using(ExcelEngine excelEngine = new ExcelEngine())
{
IApplication application = excelEngine.Excel;
application.DefaultVersion = ExcelVersion.Excel2016;
IWorkbook workbook = application.Workbooks.Open("../../Data/Sample.xlsx");
IWorksheet worksheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];
IListObject table = worksheet.ListObjects[0];
table.Columns[1].Name = "NewName";
workbook.SaveAs("Output.xlsx");
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("Output.xlsx");
}
}
}
}
A complete working sample can be downloaded from ChangeTableColumnName.zip.
The input Excel document looks like:
Table column name
The output Excel document looks like:
Table column name changed
