        display data in table format

        <div id="result"></div> 
        <table id="grid1"></table> 
        </div> 
        <script> 
        
        $(function () { 
        $("#input").on("change", function () { 
        var excelFile,

        //using fileReader class to read the file

      • fileReader = new FileReader(); 
        
        $("#result").hide(); 
        
        fileReader.onload = function (e) { 
        var buffer = new Uint8Array(fileReader.result); 
        
        $.ig.excel.Workbook.load(buffer, function (workbook) { 
        var column, row, newRow, cellValue, columnIndex, i, 
        worksheet = workbook.worksheets(0), 
        columnsNumber = 0, 
        gridColumns = [], 
        data = [], 
        worksheetRowsCount; 
        
        

        Both the columns and rows in the worksheet are lazily created and because of this most of the time worksheet.columns().count() will return 0
        // So to get the number of columns we read the values in the first row and count. When value is null we stop counting columns:

        while (worksheet.rows(0).getCellValue(columnsNumber)) { 
        columnsNumber++; 
        } 
        

        Iterating through cells in first row and use the cell text as key and header text for the grid columns

        for (columnIndex = 0; columnIndex < columnsNumber; columnIndex++) { 
        column = worksheet.rows(0).getCellText(columnIndex); 
        gridColumns.push({ headerText: column, key: column }); 
        } 
        
        

        We start iterating from 1, because we already read the first row to build the grid Columns array above
        We use each cell value and add it to JSON array, which will be used as data Source for the grid

        for (i = 1, worksheetRowsCount = worksheet.rows().count() ; i < worksheetRowsCount; i++) { 
        newRow = {}; 
        row = worksheet.rows(i); 
        
        for (columnIndex = 0; columnIndex < columnsNumber; columnIndex++) { 
        cellValue = row.getCellText(columnIndex); 
        newRow[gridColumns[columnIndex].key] = cellValue; 
        } 
        
        data.push(newRow); 
        } 
        

        we can also skip passing the gridColumns use autoGenerateColumns = true, or modify the gridColumns array

        createGrid(data, gridColumns); 
        }, function (error) { 
        $("#result").text("The excel file is corrupted."); 
        $("#result").show(1000); 
        }); 
        } 
        
        if (this.files.length > 0) { 
        excelFile = this.files[0]; 
        if (excelFile.type === "application/vnd.ms-excel" || excelFile.type === "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet" || (excelFile.type === "" && (excelFile.name.endsWith("xls") || excelFile.name.endsWith("xlsx")))) { 
        fileReader.readAsArrayBuffer(excelFile); 
        } else { 
        $("#result").text("The format of the file you have selected is not supported. Please select a valid Excel file ('.xls, *.xlsx')."); 
        $("#result").show(1000); 
        } 
        } 
        
        }) 
        }); 
        
        function createGrid(data, gridColumns) { 
        if ($("#grid1").data("igGrid") !== undefined) { 
        $("#grid1").igGrid("destroy"); 
        } 
        
        $("#grid1").igGrid({ 
        columns: gridColumns, 
        autoGenerateColumns: true, 
        dataSource: data, 
        width: "100%" 
        }); 
        } 
        </script> 
        </body> 
        </html>

        Note: This example is used to get the data of only single excel sheet.It’s not applicable to fetch from multiple sheet.
