openxml how to read an inlineStr with an OpenXmlReader - excel

Question

I have the following code:
public static void ReadExcelFileSAX(string filename)
{
using (SpreadsheetDocument myDoc = SpreadsheetDocument.Open(filename, true))
{
WorkbookPart workbookPart = myDoc.WorkbookPart;
WorksheetPart worksheetPart = workbookPart.WorksheetParts.First();
OpenXmlReader reader = OpenXmlReader.Create(worksheetPart);
string text;
while (reader.Read())
{
if (reader.ElementType == typeof(CellValue))
{
text = reader.GetText();
}
}
}
}
This code can read any cell where the data type is a number, but it cannot read inlineStr
Looking at the XML with Productivity tool, I think the code can read the following XML
<x:c r="D2" t="n">
<x:v>328</x:v>
</x:c>
But it can't read the this one (or I don't know how to do it)
<x:c r="F1" s="6" t="inlineStr">
<x:is>
<x:t>T1</x:t>
</x:is>
</x:c>
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Your code look like it should read the values correctly, but some more information would be useful to detect the cause of the issue.
I suppose you can try to check if the type is InlineString, but you can't just use GetText() method, because InlineString is not dervide from OpenXMlLeafTextElement.
I haven't tested this yet, but I suggest you to try:
while (reader.Read())
{
if (reader.ElementType == typeof(CellValue))
{
text = reader.GetText();
}
else if (reader.ElementType == typeof(InlineString)) //or instead of this, check type of its child node and use it inside this if statement
{
text = (reader.LoadCurrentElement() as InlineString).Text.Text;
}
}
Or something similiar to this. If you have any issues with this code, let me know, so I'll correct it.
