interop error HRESULT: 0x80020005 (DISP_E_TYPEMISMATCH) on server

I am having a problem with my app when trying to run on the server.
In my place it works fine but when passed to the server it fails to try to create the pivotcache.
Excel has permissions on the server with the user IIS, on my computer I have Office 365 and Office 2010 on server.
please help.error
Excel.Application oApp;
Excel.Worksheet oSheet;
Excel.Workbook oBook;
//Create COM Objects. Create a COM object for everything that is referenced
oApp = new Excel.Application();
oBook = oApp.Workbooks.Open(fileTest);
oSheet = oBook.Sheets[1];
//Range = oSheet.Range["A9","BN36"];
//Excel.Worksheet oSheet2 = oBook.Worksheets.Add();
//oSheet2.Name = "Pivot Table";
//oApp = new Excel.Application();
//oBook = oApp.Workbooks.Add();
//oSheet = (Excel.Worksheet)oBook.Worksheets.get_Item(1);
//oSheet.Cells[1, 1] = "Name";
//oSheet.Cells[1, 2] = "Salary";
//oSheet.Cells[2, 1] = "Frank";
//oSheet.Cells[2, 2] = 150000;
//oSheet.Cells[3, 1] = "Ann";
//oSheet.Cells[3, 2] = 300000;
Excel.Range last = oSheet.Cells.SpecialCells(Excel.XlCellType.xlCellTypeLastCell, Type.Missing);
Excel.Range range = oSheet.get_Range("A1", last);
int lastUsedRow = last.Row;
int lastUsedColumn = last.Column;
//// now capture range of the first sheet = I will need this to create pivot table
Excel.Range oRange = oSheet.Range["A1", "AJ708"];
// create second sheet
if (oApp.Application.Sheets.Count < 2)
{
oSheet = (Excel.Worksheet)oBook.Worksheets.Add();
}
else
{
oSheet = oApp.Worksheets[2];
}
oSheet.Name = "Resumen";
// specify first cell for pivot table
Excel.Range oRange2 = oSheet.Cells[1, 1];
// create Pivot Cache and Pivot Table heres trow exception error
Excel.PivotCache oPivotCache = (Excel.PivotCache)oBook.PivotCaches().Add(Excel.XlPivotTableSourceType.xlDatabase, oRange);
Excel.PivotTable oPivotTable = (Excel.PivotTable)oSheet.PivotTables().Add(PivotCache: oPivotCache, TableDestination: oRange2, TableName: "Summary");

solved.
trying change this line
var oPivotCache = pivotCaches.Create(Excel.XlPivotTableSourceType.xlDatabase, "Sheet1!$A$1:$AL$" + lastUsedRow);
the correct format to pass a range on office 2010 i think so.

C# Write to an open Excel file using Interop

I am having a ridiculously hard time with this, but I need to be able to connect to an open excel file using Interop and then write to that file.
The file is opened by an outside process and then this application comes in later to write to the workbook. I can get it to open a file and write to the active workbook. but I can't find a way to connect to a previous workbook and write.
I had been using Marshal.GetActiveObject but I will soon be running the application on a computer with multiple files open and need to write to one that will most likely not bee the active one.

Update :
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.BindToMoniker can be used to access file that is opened in Excel, or opens it if it is not already opened :
var wb = Marshal.BindToMoniker(#"C:\x.xlsx") as Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Workbook;
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/eric_carter/2009/03/12/attaching-to-an-already-running-office-application-from-your-application-using-getactiveobject-or-bindtomoniker/
Old answer :
GetObject can be used with reference to Microsoft.VisualBasic (it also opens the file if needed) :
object o = Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction.GetObject(#"C:\x.xlsx", "Excel.Application");
var wb = o as Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Workbook;
if (wb != null)
{
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application xlApp = wb.Application;
// your code
}
Reference to Microsoft.VisualBasic can probably be avoided by checking the GetObject source code https://github.com/Microsoft/referencesource/blob/master/Microsoft.VisualBasic/runtime/msvbalib/Interaction.vb#L1039

This seems to be C# version
using Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel;
Excel.Application excel = null;
try
{
excel = (Excel.Application)Marshal.GetActiveObject("Excel.Application");
}
catch (COMException exc)
{
// ....
}
obviously assuming that the file is opened by an excel application on the same machine.
But the point is that Marshal.GetActiveObject will always return the first instance it finds on ROT (running object table). This is because Office doesn't register new objects. You have to get the application from the child windows, like suggested in this more complicated answer.

Try it this way.
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application oXL;
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel._Workbook oWB;
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel._Worksheet oSheet;
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Range oRng;
object misvalue = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
try
{
//Start Excel and get Application object.
oXL = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application();
oXL.Visible = true;
//Get a new workbook.
oWB = (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel._Workbook)(oXL.Workbooks.Add(""));
oSheet = (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel._Worksheet)oWB.ActiveSheet;
//Add table headers going cell by cell.
oSheet.Cells[1, 1] = "First Name";
oSheet.Cells[1, 2] = "Last Name";
oSheet.Cells[1, 3] = "Full Name";
oSheet.Cells[1, 4] = "Salary";
//Format A1:D1 as bold, vertical alignment = center.
oSheet.get_Range("A1", "D1").Font.Bold = true;
oSheet.get_Range("A1", "D1").VerticalAlignment =
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XlVAlign.xlVAlignCenter;
// Create an array to multiple values at once.
string[,] saNames = new string[5, 2];
saNames[0, 0] = "John";
saNames[0, 1] = "Smith";
saNames[1, 0] = "Tom";
saNames[4, 1] = "Johnson";
//Fill A2:B6 with an array of values (First and Last Names).
oSheet.get_Range("A2", "B6").Value2 = saNames;
//Fill C2:C6 with a relative formula (=A2 & " " & B2).
oRng = oSheet.get_Range("C2", "C6");
oRng.Formula = "=A2 & \" \" & B2";
//Fill D2:D6 with a formula(=RAND()*100000) and apply format.
oRng = oSheet.get_Range("D2", "D6");
oRng.Formula = "=RAND()*100000";
oRng.NumberFormat = "$0.00";
//AutoFit columns A:D.
oRng = oSheet.get_Range("A1", "D1");
oRng.EntireColumn.AutoFit();
oXL.Visible = false;
oXL.UserControl = false;
oWB.SaveAs("c:\\test\\test505.xls", Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XlFileFormat.xlWorkbookDefault, Type.Missing, Type.Missing,
false, false, Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XlSaveAsAccessMode.xlNoChange,

Export To Excel C# Error

I don't get the error that appears in my export to excel code. I have this error
Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to interface
type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Range'. This operation failed
because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface
with IID '{00020846-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}' failed due to the

GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers();
GC.Collect();
}
The exception error pops up in this code. oSheet.Cells[1, i] = arrays[i - 1];
Do you guys know how can this happen? I don't understand what's wrong in my code.. Please help me on this one. Thanks in advance for your help.

Try changing
oSheet = (Excel.Worksheet)oWB.ActiveSheet;
To
oSheet = (Excel.Worksheet)oXL.ActiveSheet;
Further explanation: MSDN provides the following note regarding the Workbook Interface....
"This interface is implemented by the Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime. It is not intended to be implemented in your code. For more information, see Visual Studio Tools for Office Runtime Overview."
That's why you have to reference the application interface after initializing a new workbook.

now i want to generate chart in same sheet based on data from my datatable.
my excel file would look like as follows
i read few article & code to generate chart from this links
http://www.dotnetbull.com/2011/09/exporting-pie-chart-into-excel-file.html
http://csharp.net-informations.com/excel/csharp-excel-chart.htm

but still not being able to understand the code to generate line chart. it would be great help if some help me to generate chart in same sheet like the image i have given here.
thanks

Try this as a starting point:
'Create & Format Chart

oChart = oXL.Parent.Charts.Add
With oChart
.Name = "History"
.HasTitle = True
.ChartTitle.Font.ColorIndex = 11

.ChartTitle.Font.Name = "Arial"
.ChartTitle.Text = "Job History"
.ChartType = Excel.XlChartType.xlLine
.HasLegend = True
.SeriesCollection(1).XValues = "=Sheet1!$A$4:$A$6"
.SeriesCollection(1).Name = "=Sheet1!$B$3"

How to export excel from dataset or datatable in c#?

I want to export data from Dataset or Data Table to Excel file in C# without using Gridview.

I would recommend EPPlus - this solution doesn't require COM nor interop dlls and is very fast. Perfectly suited for web scenarios.
http://epplus.codeplex.com/
http://nuget.org/packages/EPPlus
private void DumpExcel(DataTable tbl)
{
using (ExcelPackage pck = new ExcelPackage())
{
//Create the worksheet
ExcelWorksheet ws = pck.Workbook.Worksheets.Add("Demo");
//Load the datatable into the sheet, starting from cell A1. Print the column names on row 1
ws.Cells["A1"].LoadFromDataTable(tbl, true);
//Format the header for column 1-3
using (ExcelRange rng = ws.Cells["A1:C1"])
{
rng.Style.Font.Bold = true;
rng.Style.Fill.PatternType = ExcelFillStyle.Solid; //Set Pattern for the background to Solid
rng.Style.Fill.BackgroundColor.SetColor(Color.FromArgb(79, 129, 189)); //Set color to dark blue
rng.Style.Font.Color.SetColor(Color.White);
}
//Example how to Format Column 1 as numeric
using (ExcelRange col = ws.Cells[2, 1, 2 + tbl.Rows.Count, 1])
{
col.Style.Numberformat.Format = "#,##0.00";
col.Style.HorizontalAlignment = ExcelHorizontalAlignment.Right;
}
//Write it back to the client
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet";
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=ExcelDemo.xlsx");
Response.BinaryWrite(pck.GetAsByteArray());
}
}
}
}
