Maria in case you're interested there is a direct way how you can export an excel file into a DataGridView with C#. Note that this approach keeps all the formatting from your excel file.

Add a handler for the CellFormatting event of your grid, thus:

C#

myGridView.CellFormatting += new System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellFormattingEventHandler(this.myGridView_CellFormatting);

Then add a handler to get the cell's text and adjust it to your own style; something like:

C#

private void myGridView_CellFormatting(object sender, DataGridViewCellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    string strData;
    if (e.Value != null)
    {
        strData = (string)e.Value;
        if (myGridView.Columns[e.ColumnIndex].Name == // "< your column name here >")
        {
            // Adjust the text of the cell to the correct format and paste it back
            e.Value = // < adjust the text as required here >
            e.FormattingApplied = true;
        }
    }
}
