Tutorial Video : MiniExcel
MiniExcel is simple and efficient to avoid OOM's .NET processing Excel tool.
At present, most popular frameworks need to load all the data into the memory to facilitate operation, but it will cause memory consumption problems. MiniExcel tries to use algorithm from a stream to reduce the original 1000 MB occupation to a few MB to avoid OOM(out of memory).
- Low memory consumption, avoid OOM (out of memory) and full GC
- Support
real-timeoperation of each row of data - Support LINQ deferred execution, it can do low-consumption, fast paging and other complex queries
- Lightweight, without Microsoft Office installed, no COM+, DLL size is less than 150KB
- Easy API style to read/write/fill excel
You can install the package from NuGet

1. Execute a query and map the results to a strongly typed IEnumerable [Try it]
Recommand to use Stream.Query because of better efficiency.
public class UserAccount
{
public Guid ID { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public DateTime BoD { get; set; }
public int Age { get; set; }
public bool VIP { get; set; }
public decimal Points { get; set; }
}
var rows = MiniExcel.Query<UserAccount>(path);
// or
using (var stream = File.OpenRead(path))
var rows = stream.Query<UserAccount>();
2. Execute a query and map it to a list of dynamic objects without using head [Try it]
- dynamic key is
A.B.C.D..
| MiniExcel | 1 |
|---|---|
| Github | 2 |
var rows = MiniExcel.Query(path).ToList();
// or
using (var stream = File.OpenRead(path))
{
var rows = stream.Query().ToList();
Assert.Equal("MiniExcel", rows[0].A);
Assert.Equal(1, rows[0].B);
Assert.Equal("Github", rows[1].A);
Assert.Equal(2, rows[1].B);
}3. Execute a query with first header row [Try it]
note : same column name use last right one
Input Excel :
| Column1 | Column2 |
|---|---|
| MiniExcel | 1 |
| Github | 2 |
var rows = MiniExcel.Query(useHeaderRow:true).ToList();
// or
using (var stream = File.OpenRead(path))
{
var rows = stream.Query(useHeaderRow:true).ToList();
Assert.Equal("MiniExcel", rows[0].Column1);
Assert.Equal(1, rows[0].Column2);
Assert.Equal("Github", rows[1].Column1);
Assert.Equal(2, rows[1].Column2);
}Query First
var row = MiniExcel.Query(path).First();
Assert.Equal("HelloWorld", row.A);
// or
using (var stream = File.OpenRead(path))
{
var row = stream.Query().First();
Assert.Equal("HelloWorld", row.A);
}Performance between MiniExcel/ExcelDataReader/ClosedXML/EPPlus
MiniExcel.Query(path, sheetName: "SheetName");
//or
stream.Query(sheetName: "SheetName");var sheetNames = MiniExcel.GetSheetNames(path);
foreach (var sheetName in sheetNames)
{
var rows = MiniExcel.Query(path, sheetName: sheetName);
}var columns = MiniExcel.GetColumns(path); // e.g result : ["A","B"...]
var cnt = columns.Count; // get column countforeach(IDictionary<string,object> row in MiniExcel.Query(path))
{
//..
}
// or
var rows = MiniExcel.Query(path).Cast<IDictionary<string,object>>(); Not recommended, because DataTable will load all data into memory and lose MiniExcel's low memory consumption feature.
var table = MiniExcel.QueryAsDataTable(path, useHeaderRow: true);
MiniExcel.Query(path,useHeaderRow:true,startCell:"B3")
Note: The efficiency is slower compared to not using merge fill
Reason: The OpenXml standard puts mergeCells at the bottom of the file, which leads to the need to foreach the sheetxml twice
var config = new OpenXmlConfiguration()
{
FillMergedCells = true
};
var rows = MiniExcel.Query(path, configuration: config);
support variable length and width multi-row and column filling
If the SharedStrings size exceeds 5 MB, MiniExcel default will use local disk cache, e.g, 10x100000.xlsx(one million rows data), when disable disk cache the maximum memory usage is 195MB, but able disk cache only needs 65MB. Note, this optimization needs some efficiency cost, so this case will increase reading time from 7.4 seconds to 27.2 seconds, If you don't need it that you can disable disk cache with the following code:
var config = new OpenXmlConfiguration { EnableSharedStringCache = false };
MiniExcel.Query(path,configuration: config)You can use SharedStringCacheSize to change the sharedString file size beyond the specified size for disk caching
var config = new OpenXmlConfiguration { SharedStringCacheSize=500*1024*1024 };
MiniExcel.Query(path, configuration: config);
-
Must be a non-abstract type with a public parameterless constructor .
-
MiniExcel support parameter IEnumerable Deferred Execution, If you want to use least memory, please do not call methods such as ToList
e.g : ToList or not memory usage
1. Anonymous or strongly type [Try it]
var path = Path.Combine(Path.GetTempPath(), $"{Guid.NewGuid()}.xlsx");
MiniExcel.SaveAs(path, new[] {
new { Column1 = "MiniExcel", Column2 = 1 },
new { Column1 = "Github", Column2 = 2}
});var values = new List<Dictionary<string, object>>()
{
new Dictionary<string,object>{{ "Column1", "MiniExcel" }, { "Column2", 1 } },
new Dictionary<string,object>{{ "Column1", "Github" }, { "Column2", 2 } }
};
MiniExcel.SaveAs(path, values);Create File Result :
| Column1 | Column2 |
|---|---|
| MiniExcel | 1 |
| Github | 2 |
Recommended, it can avoid to load all data into memory
MiniExcel.SaveAs(path, reader);
DataReader export multiple sheets (recommand by Dapper ExecuteReader)
using (var cnn = Connection)
{
cnn.Open();
var sheets = new Dictionary<string,object>();
sheets.Add("sheet1", cnn.ExecuteReader("select 1 id"));
sheets.Add("sheet2", cnn.ExecuteReader("select 2 id"));
MiniExcel.SaveAs("Demo.xlsx", sheets);
}-
Not recommended, it will load all data into memory -
DataTable use Caption for column name first, then use columname
var path = Path.Combine(Path.GetTempPath(), $"{Guid.NewGuid()}.xlsx");
var table = new DataTable();
{
table.Columns.Add("Column1", typeof(string));
table.Columns.Add("Column2", typeof(decimal));
table.Rows.Add("MiniExcel", 1);
table.Rows.Add("Github", 2);
}
MiniExcel.SaveAs(path, table);Not recommended, it will load all data into memory, please useExecuteReader
using (var connection = GetConnection(connectionString))
{
var rows = connection.Query(@"select 'MiniExcel' as Column1,1 as Column2 union all select 'Github',2");
MiniExcel.SaveAs(path, rows);
}6. SaveAs to MemoryStream [Try it]
using (var stream = new MemoryStream()) //support FileStream,MemoryStream ect.
{
stream.SaveAs(values);
}e.g : api of export excel
public IActionResult DownloadExcel()
{
var values = new[] {
new { Column1 = "MiniExcel", Column2 = 1 },
new { Column1 = "Github", Column2 = 2}
};
var memoryStream = new MemoryStream();
memoryStream.SaveAs(values);
memoryStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
return new FileStreamResult(memoryStream, "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet")
{
FileDownloadName = "demo.xlsx"
};
}// 1. Dictionary<string,object>
var users = new[] { new { Name = "Jack", Age = 25 }, new { Name = "Mike", Age = 44 } };
var department = new[] { new { ID = "01", Name = "HR" }, new { ID = "02", Name = "IT" } };
var sheets = new Dictionary<string, object>
{
["users"] = users,
["department"] = department
};
MiniExcel.SaveAs(path, sheets);
// 2. DataSet
var sheets = new DataSet();
sheets.Add(UsersDataTable);
sheets.Add(DepartmentDataTable);
//..
MiniExcel.SaveAs(path, sheets);
Default style
Without style configuration
var config = new OpenXmlConfiguration()
{
TableStyles = TableStyles.None
};
MiniExcel.SaveAs(path, value,configuration:config);
Since v0.19.0 OpenXmlConfiguration.AutoFilter can en/unable AutoFilter , default value is true, and setting AutoFilter way:
MiniExcel.SaveAs(path, value, configuration: new OpenXmlConfiguration() { AutoFilter = false });var value = new[] {
new { Name="github",Image=File.ReadAllBytes(PathHelper.GetFile("images/github_logo.png"))},
new { Name="google",Image=File.ReadAllBytes(PathHelper.GetFile("images/google_logo.png"))},
new { Name="microsoft",Image=File.ReadAllBytes(PathHelper.GetFile("images/microsoft_logo.png"))},
new { Name="reddit",Image=File.ReadAllBytes(PathHelper.GetFile("images/reddit_logo.png"))},
new { Name="statck_overflow",Image=File.ReadAllBytes(PathHelper.GetFile("images/statck_overflow_logo.png"))},
};
MiniExcel.SaveAs(path, value);
Since 1.22.0, when value type is byte[] then system will save file path at cell by default, and when import system can be converted to byte[]. And if you don't want to use it, you can set OpenXmlConfiguration.EnableConvertByteArray to false, it can improve the system efficiency.

public string Name { get; set; }
[ExcelFormat("MMMM dd, yyyy")]
public DateTime InDate { get; set; }
}Code
var value = new Dto[] {

}public class Dto
{
[ExcelColumnName(excelColumnName:"EmployeeNo",aliases:new[] { "EmpNo","No" })]
public string Empno { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
}Since 1.24.0, system supports System.ComponentModel.DisplayNameAttribute = ExcelColumnName.excelColumnNameAttribute

- MiniExcel will check whether it is xlsx or csv based on the
file extensionby default, but there may be inaccuracy, please specify it manually. - Stream cannot be know from which excel, please specify it manually.
stream.SaveAs(excelType:ExcelType.CSV);
//or
stream.SaveAs(excelType:ExcelType.XLSX);
//or
stream.Query(excelType:ExcelType.CSV);
//or
stream.Query(excelType:ExcelType.XLSX);- Default return
stringtype, and value will not be converted to numbers or datetime, unless the type is defined by strong typing generic.
The default is , as the separator, you can modify the Seperator property for customization
var config = new MiniExcelLibs.Csv.CsvConfiguration()
{
Seperator=';'
};
MiniExcel.SaveAs(path, values,configuration: config);The default is \r\n as the newline character, you can modify the NewLine property for customization
var config = new MiniExcelLibs.Csv.CsvConfiguration()
{
NewLine='\n'
};
MiniExcel.SaveAs(path, values,configuration: config);- The default encoding is "Detect Encoding From Byte Order Marks" (detectEncodingFromByteOrderMarks: true)
- f you have custom encoding requirements, please modify the StreamReaderFunc / StreamWriterFunc property
// Read
var config = new MiniExcelLibs.Csv.CsvConfiguration()
{
StreamReaderFunc = (stream) => new StreamReader(stream,Encoding.GetEncoding("gb2312"))
};
var rows = MiniExcel.Query(path, true,excelType:ExcelType.CSV,configuration: config);

MiniExcel.ConvertXlsxToCsv(xlsxStream, csvStream);
MiniExcel.ConvertXlsxToCsv(csvPath, xlsxPath);
MiniExcel.ConvertXlsxToCsv(csvStream, xlsxStream);Since 1.22.0, you can custom CultureInfo like below, system default CultureInfo.InvariantCulture.
var config = new CsvConfiguration()
{
Culture = new CultureInfo("fr-FR"),
};
MiniExcel.SaveAs(path, value, configuration: config);
// or
MiniExcel.Query(path, configuration: config); public abstract class Configuration : IConfiguration
{
public int BufferSize { get; set; } = 1024 * 512;
}System will not control memory, but you can get faster save speed.
var config = new OpenXmlConfiguration() { FastMode = true };
MiniExcel.SaveAs(path, reader,configuration:config);note : please don't call ToList/ToArray methods after Query, it'll load all data into memory
using (var connection = new SQLiteConnection(connectionString))
{
connection.Open();
using (var transaction = connection.BeginTransaction())
using (var stream = File.OpenRead(path))

A. Please use ExcelColumnName attribute
A. GetSheetNames method with Query sheetName parameter.
var sheets = MiniExcel.GetSheetNames(path);
foreach (var sheet in sheets)
{
Console.WriteLine($"sheet name : {sheet} ");
var rows = MiniExcel.Query(path,useHeaderRow:true,sheetName:sheet);
Console.WriteLine(rows);
}
No, the image test has 1 million rows*10 columns of data, the maximum memory usage is <60MB, and it takes 13.65 seconds
The default index of Query is the string Key: A,B,C.... If you want to change to numeric index, please create the following method to convert
void Main()
{
var path = @"D:\git\MiniExcel\samples\xlsx\TestTypeMapping.xlsx";
var rows = MiniExcel.Query(path,true);
foreach (var r in ConvertToIntIndexRows(rows))
{
Console.Write($"column 0 : {r[0]} ,column 1 : {r[1]}");
Console.WriteLine();
}
}
private IEnumerable<Dictionary<int, object>> ConvertToIntIndexRows(IEnumerable<object> rows)
{
ICollection<string> keys = null;
var isFirst = true;
foreach (IDictionary<string,object> r in rows)
{
if(isFirst)
{
keys = r.Keys;
isFirst = false;
}
var dic = new Dictionary<int, object>();
var index = 0;
foreach (var key in keys)
dic[index++] = r[key];
yield return dic;
}
}Because MiniExcel uses a logic similar to JSON.NET to dynamically get type from values to simplify API operations, type cannot be knew without data. You can check issue #133 for understanding.
Strong type & DataTable will generate headers, but Dictionary are still empty Excel
MiniExcel can be used with LINQ TakeWhile to stop foreach iterator.
IEnumerable :
public static IEnumerable<dynamic> QueryWithoutEmptyRow(Stream stream, bool useHeaderRow, string sheetName, ExcelType excelType, string startCell, IConfiguration configuration)
{
var rows = stream.Query(useHeaderRow,sheetName,excelType,startCell,configuration);
foreach (IDictionary<string,object> row in rows)
{
if(row.Keys.Any(key=>row[key]!=null))
yield return row;
}
}DataTable :
public static DataTable QueryAsDataTableWithoutEmptyRow(Stream stream, bool useHeaderRow, string sheetName, ExcelType excelType, string startCell, IConfiguration configuration)
{
if (sheetName == null && excelType != ExcelType.CSV) /*Issue #279*/
sheetName = stream.GetSheetNames().First();
var dt = new DataTable(sheetName);
var first = true;
var rows = stream.Query(useHeaderRow,sheetName,excelType,startCell,configuration);
foreach (IDictionary<string, object> row in rows)
{
if (first)
{
foreach (var key in row.Keys)
{
var column = new DataColumn(key, typeof(object)) { Caption = key };
dt.Columns.Add(column);
}
dt.BeginLoadData();
first = false;
}
var newRow = dt.NewRow();
var isNull=true;
foreach (var key in row.Keys)
{
var _v = row[key];
if(_v!=null)
isNull = false;
newRow[key] = _v;
}
if(!isNull)
dt.Rows.Add(newRow);
}
dt.EndLoadData();
return dt;
}Q. How SaveAs(path,value) to replace exists file and without throwing "The file ...xlsx already exists error"
Please use Stream class to custom file creating logic, e.g:
using (var stream = File.Create("Demo.xlsx"))
MiniExcel.SaveAs(stream,value);or, since V1.25.0, SaveAs support overwriteFile parameter for enable/unable overwriting exist file
MiniExcel.SaveAs(path, value, overwriteFile: true);- Not support xls and encrypted file now
- xlsm only support Query
ExcelDataReader / ClosedXML / Dapper / ExcelNumberFormat
