Exceptions
ExceptionDescription
Specified row index is out of range; must be between 0 and the total number of rows
Specified column index is out of range; must be between 0 and the total number of columns
Remarks

The data in the range is formatted using the ToString method.

Use -1 to for row or column to specify all the rows or columns.

This method may create new rows as needed if the row count or column count exceed the existing count.

Besides using this method, you can get or set the value in a cell using various properties of the sheet (SheetView object) or properties of the cell (Cell object). For more information, see Handling Data Using Sheet Methods and Handling Data Using Cell Properties.

Remember that the data may be displayed differently in a cell depending on the cell type. For more information, see Understanding Cell Type Effects on Displaying Data.
