Remarks

When importing data to a worksheet, you can use the WorksheetExtensions.Import method overload that has the IDataValueConverter interface as a parameter. It enables you to change data before insertion in a worksheet.

To accomplish data conversion, create a class that implements the IDataValueConverter interface and pass it as the parameter to the WorksheetExtensions.Import method.
