Hi The datatable does not exist in UWP. You should look at using EF7 for data access. You will not be able to automate excel from a UWP app. Syncfusion has a XlsIo library for interacting with excel. https://ef.readthedocs.org/en/latest/getting-started/uwp.html http://www.syncfusion.com/products/file-formats/xlsio Check out there community license http://www.syncfusion.com/products/communitylicense
