```
$result = EXLQ::from("example.xls")

        ->whereLike('name', 'ruhul')
        //->whereLike('name', 'ruhul', 'start')
        //->whereLike('name', 'ruhul', 'end')
        ->whereIn('age', [22,23,25,26])
        ->whereNotIn('age', [11,12,13])

        ->orderBy('id')
        //->orderBy('id', 'desc')
        //->orderBy('id', 'asc')
        //->latest('id')  // Default Id
        //->oldest('id')  // Default Id
        ->get();
```

### More Example

[](#more-example)

```
// To Get All Result
$result = EXLQ::from("example.xls")->all();

// To Get All Sorted Result
$result = EXLQ::from("example.xls")->orderBy('id', 'desc')->all();

// To Get Specific Row
$result = EXLQ::from("example.xls")->where('id', 1)->row();

// To Get First Result
$result = EXLQ::from("example.xls")->where('id', 1)->first();

// To Get Last Result
$result = EXLQ::from("example.xls")->where('id', 1)->last();

// To Get nth row
$result = EXLQ::from("example.xls")->getNth(2); // [0-n]

// Check Is row exist
$result = EXLQ::from("example.xls")->where('id', 1)->hasData(); // boolean
$result = EXLQ::from("example.xls")->where('id', 1)->doesExist(); // boolean

// To Get All Sorted Result
$result = EXLQ::from("example.xls")->orderBy('id', 'desc')->all();
```

### Available where operators

[](#available-where-operators)

- `=` (default operator, can be omitted)
- `>`
