� Code Examples

Basic Excel Reading and Analysis

// Read Excel file and convert to Microsoft DataFrame
var reader = new ExcelReader();
var customDf = reader.ReadDataFrame("sales_data.xlsx");
var microsoftDf = ConvertToMicrosoftDataFrame(customDf);

// Display DataFrame structure
Console.WriteLine($"Data loaded: {microsoftDf.Rows.Count} rows × {microsoftDf.Columns.Count} columns");
Console.WriteLine(microsoftDf); // Display data table

Statistical Analysis

// Get comprehensive statistics for numeric columns
for (int i = 0; i < microsoftDf.Columns.Count; i++)
{
    var column = microsoftDf.Columns[i];
    if (column is PrimitiveDataFrameColumn<double> doubleCol)
    {
        var mean = doubleCol.Mean();
        var min = doubleCol.Min();
        var max = doubleCol.Max();
        Console.WriteLine($"{column.Name}: Mean={mean:F2}, Range=[{min}, {max}]");
    }
}

Data Filtering and Sorting

// Advanced filtering with vectorized operations
var salesColumn = microsoftDf.Columns["Sales"] as PrimitiveDataFrameColumn<double>;
var filter = salesColumn.ElementwiseGreaterThan(salesThreshold);
var highPerformers = microsoftDf.Filter(filter);

// Multi-column sorting
var sortedData = microsoftDf.OrderBy("Department").ThenBy("Sales");

Professional Export Operations

// Export to multiple formats with professional formatting
ExportToExcel(microsoftDf, "quarterly_report.xlsx", "Q3 Analysis");
ExportToCsv(microsoftDf, "data_export.csv");
ExportToPdf(microsoftDf, "executive_summary.pdf", "Sales Performance Report");

Detailed Usage Guide

Excel File Operations

// Multi-worksheet handling
var worksheetInfo = reader.GetWorksheetInfo("complex_data.xlsx");
foreach (var (name, index, rows, cols) in worksheetInfo)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Sheet '{name}': {rows} rows × {cols} columns");
}

// Read specific worksheet
var specificSheet = reader.ReadDataFrame("data.xlsx", "Q3_Results");
var byIndex = reader.ReadDataFrame("data.xlsx", 2); // Third sheet

Data Analysis Workflows

// Complex filtering with multiple conditions
var marketingData = microsoftDf.Filter(row => 
    row["Department"].ToString() == "Marketing" && 
    Convert.ToDouble(row["Sales"]) > 15000);

// Statistical operations on filtered data
var avgGrowth = marketingData.Columns["Growth"].Cast<double>().Average();
var totalSales = marketingData.Columns["Sales"].Cast<double>().Sum();

Export Customization

// CSV with custom delimiter
ExportToCsv(microsoftDf, "european_data.csv", ";"); // Semicolon for EU

// PDF with custom title and formatting
ExportToPdf(microsoftDf, "board_report.pdf", "Board Meeting - Q3 2025 Performance");

// Excel with custom worksheet name
ExportToExcel(microsoftDf, "annual_summary.xlsx", "2025 Performance Data");
