Hi I have code that pulls the data from an Excel 2003 worksheet using vb.net.
It works on some worksheets. But for some reason on some worksheets I am having a problem. Cells with functions such as =today() are showing up blank. I did some testing and found if I remove text from a cell above the row with that function, the function then works fine. For example if I put a simple letter "F" in a row 3 rows above my function then my function shows up blank. It works fine in Excel but when pulling it with vb.net it's blank.
Any ideas why this is happening. Is there maybe a better way to pull this data then my method? Below is my code. Thanks
