title: uploading and reading from an excel file in asp.net core 2
body: <p>previously Asp.Net MVC had this third party library which easily allowed uploading and reading from an excel file called Excel Data Reader. We didn't need to have the file on the local disk, which was great because my application needs to run on Azure.</p>
  
  <p>However we are now porting this functionality to asp.net core 2, and it seems from searching that this is not possible. Does anybody know any libraries that would allow me to do this? Please note, I am not looking for solutions that read from a disk. I want to upload an excel file and read data from the stream directly.</p>
