How to solve Excel opening Error Generated by EPPlus .Net library - c#

I am generating several excel copies from a template (its really big).
For that First I am taking the template from a file location, then based on a loop for every iteration I am creating a new ExcelPackage(newFile,Template).
After that I am taking the exact ExcelWorksheet that I have to edit.
Then after editing I am Saving as the file as newFile. The time of opening the saved file Two problem is occurring:
If there is no Excel instance is running on the PC then the saved file is opening but with no data.
If the Excel instance is running then the saved file is opening with Warning message but working. "Problem with some content with Excel. Do you want us to recover?" and "Excel was able to recover some unreadable content "
string templateExcel = #"Location\template.xlsx";
FileInfo templateFile = new FileInfo(#"Location\newFile.xlsx");
using (FileStream templateExcelStream = File.OpenRead(templateExcel))
{
using (ExcelPackage copyExcel = new ExcelPackage(templateExcelStream))
{
ExcelWorksheet presentWorkSheet = copyExcel.Workbook.Worksheets["Name"];
presentWorkSheet.Cells[4, 2].Value = Value from condition;
copyExcel.SaveAs(templateFile);
}
}

Thanks all of you for your valuable time. I got the solution.
For me the issue was in the template itself as it contained invalid references to lookup tables. I found this in Formula -> Name Manager.
I suggest that you check the template if you face this issue.

EPPlus Shows System Argument Exception

I am having issue reading in some worksheet from a workbook using C# and EPPlus.
Error Message
name contains invalid characters
Even after multiple checks on the worksheet name, file name and column headers within the workbook to make sure there is no invalid characters, I am still facing the same error.
However, when I move the worksheet that i need from that same workbook to a new Excel file and save it with the same file name and worksheet name, I have no error while reading in.
Does anybody know how to solve or even encounter this problem?
Code
using (ExcelPackage xlPackage = new ExcelPackage(mStream))
{
//WorksheetId = 5
var ws = xlPackage.Workbook.Worksheets[WorksheetId]; //This is the part that is causing error
for (int i = 1; i <= ws.Dimension.End.Column; i++)
{
dt2.Columns.Add((i - 1).ToString());
}
}
Came across this LINK and realized this is actually a bug in EPPlus for version 4.5.2.2 onward.
After reverting back to the older version, everything works fine.
There is a change the "name" as mentioned in the error is not the sheet name.. There is a section in the Formular tab of the Excel software called "Name Manager".
There you will find list of names and references there. The error above per the source code of EPPlus is generated when EPPlus tries to validate the name range.
I had to modify the EPPlus source code to ignore the error since the file i was dealing with was locked and needed to be preserved as it was.

EPPlus edited XLSM files show Error in Excel

I use the EPPlus library to batch edit some existing XLSM files. Inside the files I replace a line of VBA code and that's it. Everything works nice, if I edit the same line in the Excel code editor by hand.
When I open some of the files with Excel 2013 (15.0.4989.1000), the following error message is shown.
We found a problem with some content in 'test.xlsm'. Do you want us to
recover as much as we can? If you trust the source of this workbook,
click Yes.
If I click yes, the repair report shows the following entry. But the message is somewhat too generic to help me further.
Removed Records: Named range from /xl/workbook.xml-Part (Arbeitsmappe)
This is my C# code, which edits the XLSM file. Can I update my code or do I have to update the XLSM-file before editing it?
static void PatchVba(string filePath, string oldCode, string newCode)
{
var wbFileInfo = new FileInfo(filePath);
using (var package = new ExcelPackage(wbFileInfo, false))
{
foreach (var m in package.Workbook.VbaProject.Modules)
{
if (m.Code.Contains(oldCode))
{
m.Code = m.Code.Replace(oldCode, newCode);
Console.WriteLine("VBA Patched in \"{0}\"", filePath);
}
}
try
{
package.SaveAs(wbFileInfo);
}
catch
{
Console.WriteLine("Could not save patched file \"{0}\".", filePath);
}
}
}
I found out what the problem is. In the edited XLSM-file, a range name is used multiple times with overlapping scope. I was too focused on my C# code to find the root cause.
So removing the named ranges solves the issue. But it would still be interesting to know, why I can edit it without problems using Excel, but not by using EPPlus.

Create Excel with Drop down using Open XML

I am creating an excel with drop down values using Open XML (DocumentFormat.OpenXML). There are no errors in the code and excel gets created. But I get couple of errors while opening the excel. Excel gets opened with data correctly if I click OK to the errors and go ahead. It looks like the problem is due to the addition of namespace in order to have the dropdown values.
Question is, Is there any way to get rid of the error?
Error 1:
We found a problem with some content in 'sample.xlsx'. Do you want us
to try to recover as much as we can? If you trust the source of this
workbook, click Yes.
Error 2:
Errors were detected in file 'Sample.xlsx'
Repaired Records: Cell information
from /xl/worksheets/sheet2.xml part
Repaired Records: Cell information from
/xl/worksheets/sheet3.xml part
C# Namespace addition for creating excel:
worksheet1 = new Worksheet() { MCAttributes = new MarkupCompatibilityAttributes() { Ignorable = "x14ac" } };
worksheet1.AddNamespaceDeclaration("x14ac", "http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/spreadsheetml/2009/9/ac");

Get and Save particular Excel file in same location using C#

I am using Asp.Net MVC application, Visual Studio 2013, SQL Server Data base
There is a particular location in my system's local drive i.e., c:/Files/Exim_Files/ , where a lot of excel(.xlsx) files are sitting.
I want to get the particular file from that location and save it programmatically (without Save pop up) in same location with same/different name. while saving the excel data should not be lost, file should be as it is, just I need to save/SaveAs it again.
How can I achieve this requirement?
Note that I am using Virtual Machine and inside Virtual Machine: Microsoft Office is not installed. So the code will have to work without Microsoft Office installation in the machine. I can only use Microsoft Office in my host machine.
Edit
In below code, I am using Aspose.Cells to save the Excel file from 1 location to another.
I am getting the particular File from sharedLocation in array "l_strFileUploadPath" and then checking, if the file that I am getting from user exists in shared location, then I want to save/SaveAs that
file into different location (defined in 'string str') along with entire data (say I want to import the data as well while Saving the Excel in different location).
The issue I am facing is that, the file that is getting saved in C: drive, is not saving the data which is present inside the Excel. It seems it is creating a new excel file in c: drive with same name (x-TECHNICAL_DIT_BUDV01_RV124_R01_2015_Test.xlsx) having 2 sheets.
1 is 'sheet 1' and another is 'Evaluation Warning' sheet.
How can I remove the 'Evaluation Warning' sheet and what is the method of saving the exact file (along with data) from shared drive to c: drive, as per my code.
This is the first time using Aspose.Cells to get and Save/SaveAs the file from 1 location to another.
protected void getFileAndSave()
{
string[] l_strFileUploadPath = Directory.GetFiles("//181.184.11.435/share//Temp/New folder");
foreach (var filename in l_strFileUploadPath)
{
string fileName = Path.GetFileName(filename);
string p_filename = "x-TECHNICAL_DIT_Test.xlsx"; //this is the file I am getting from user
if (fileName == p_filename)
{
//-- Using Aspose.Cells
Workbook wb = new Workbook();
Worksheet worksheet = wb.Worksheets["Sheet1"];
worksheet.Name = "Technical Data";
//Save workbook with export cell as true
OoxmlSaveOptions opts = new OoxmlSaveOptions();
opts.ExportCellName = true;
wb.Save(str + file, opts);
}
}
}
It seems for me that you just want to copy the file.
Take a look at File.Copy()
File.Copy(#"c:\excel.xsl", #"c:\other\excel.xsl");
EDIT for comment:
I think it will be hard to change app.xml metadata without just manually looking what changes are made there during save/saveAs and then trying to understand how to copy this behavior and change it programmatically inside that file.

Creating xlsx file

I am basically creating a xlsx file but I am getting an error while using that file like below.
System.IO.FileFormatException: Archive file cannot be size 0.
The way I tried.
string file = "c:\\DoneDone61.xlsx";
using(File.Create(file))
{
}
Also I cannot open excel file manually because it says the file is corrupted.
Thanks for answers in advance.
An Excel file which you consider to be "blank" is not just a file with no data in it (which is what you are creating). You can see this yourself by creating a document manually in Excel and then opening it in notepad. You'll notice that it actually has data inside of it. That data is used to store information regarding the three empty sheets named "Sheet1", "Sheet2" and "Sheet3". Also, there is some header information so that any program looking at the file knows that it is actually a compressed file (as per the Excel file format). So, as you can see, even a pretty empty excel file still contains SOME data.
If you want to create a blank excel document using C#, you have two good options:
Use a library that allows you to actually work with creating Excel documents that takes care of creating the file correctly. Check out something like the Microsoft OpenXML SDK or ExcelPackage.
Create an empty Excel document, store it somewhere, and when you want to "create" a new empty Excel document, just make a copy of this file.
This one ...
using(File.Create(filePath))
{
}
... creates an empty file. Read: really empty (=> 0 bytes) not an empty XLSX with an XLSX skeleton: ZIP container, file header, style definitions, ....
What exactly did you expect?
EDIT:
If you want to create an empty XLSX file (like "Right Click on Mouse > New > New Microsoft Excel"), you have to use such an template, ... and write it onto the disk.
To achieve that, you have to deploy this template file with your application, and then do a File.Copy(source, dest), or integrate it as a resource and write the resource content to the disk.
What you need to use is Interop.Excel namespace. Here's a guide from msdn
please use this...Its a bit hacky but couldn't get a better way to do this using InterOp
public static void CreateEmptyXLSXFile(string FilePath)
{
FileStream MyStream = new FileStream(FilePath, FileMode.CreateNew, FileAccess.ReadWrite);
MyStream.Write(ExcelDocumentsInterOps.GetEmptyXSLXFileBytes(), 0, ExcelDocumentsInterOps.GetEmptyXSLXFileBytes().Length);
MyStream.Flush();
MyStream.Close();
MyStream.Dispose();
MyStream = null;
}
/// <summary>
/// Returns the bytes for an empty xslx file
/// </summary>
/// <returns></returns>
public static byte[] GetEmptyXSLXFileBytes()

When dealing with spreadsheet related tasks in .NET, you can use this open source library called SpreadsheetLight to write an excel file (especially, if you want to write content at some point).
If you prefer adding it as package via Nuget, you can say:
Install-Package SpreadsheetLight
After that, going by GenerateReport() exmaple:
// this one creates an empty workbook
using (SLDocument sl = new SLDocument())
{
// sl.SetCellValue("B3", "I love ASP.NET MVC");
sl.SaveAs("c:\\DoneDone61.xlsx");
}
