+# How to read all values from a column in an Excel worksheet?
+
+The following code example illustrates how to read all values from a specific column in an Excel worksheet using XlsIO in C# (cross-platform and Windows-specific) and VB.NET.
+
+{% tabs %}  
+{% highlight c# tabtitle="C# [Cross-platform]" %}
+using (ExcelEngine excelEngine = new ExcelEngine())
+{
+    IApplication application = excelEngine.Excel;
+    application.DefaultVersion = ExcelVersion.Xlsx;
+    IWorkbook workbook = application.Workbooks.Open(Path.GetFullPath(@"Data/InputTemplate.xlsx"));
+    IWorksheet worksheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];
+
+    // Select the column
+    string columnName = "E"; 
+    foreach (IRange row in sheet.Rows) 
+    {
+        // Read all the value of a column 
+        var val = sheet[columnName + row.Row].Value;                 
+    } 
+}
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+{% highlight c# tabtitle="C# [Windows-specific]" %}
+using (ExcelEngine excelEngine = new ExcelEngine())

+    // Select the column
+    string columnName = "E"; 
+    foreach (IRange row in sheet.Rows)
