I'm creating a new open xml document. When I write unique data/rows to the document I can open it a variety of programs. When I write a non-unique row and attempt to open the document in Apache OpenOffice I get an error General Error. General input/output error. Obviously this isn't very descriptive so I'm assuming I'm creating my document wrong but I'm not sure what is missing/wrong
Things I've tried:
The solution listed in the OpenOffice Documentation
Using the OpenXmlValidator
This doesn't return any errors
Opening in different software: Microsoft Office Excel Viewer and LibreOffice Calc.
The file opens in these but the machines running this code don't have this software installed
The weird fix
Rename the a.xlsx => a.zip
Extract the contents from the zip file
Zip up all the contents (using winrar and windows compressed zipped folder) named b.zip
Rename the b.zip to b.xlsx
The file now opens in OpenOffice without any error.
Doing a diff on the unzipped files shows no differences, doing a diff on a.xlsx and b.xlsx there are differences but nothing that makes sense to me
The Code:
static void Main(string[] args) {
var thing = new MyClass();
thing.GenerateDoc();
Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit");
Console.ReadKey();

Running the program once will create what I believe is a valid openxml document which will open in Apache OpenOffice. Running the program twice will add two lines of which 1 is not unique to the document. This will cause the error to show up in OpenOffice, but not in the other programs (Excel Viewer/Libreoffice Calc).
Unfortunately I need to use OpenOffice as its whats installed on the computers, but I'm not sure what I am doing wrong when creating the document. Do I need to add something to the rows to indicate that it is a duplicate?
Edit: To run the code you need the DocumentFormat.OpenXML nuget package
Edit1: This only occurs when running the program twice. If I were to just append a 4 rows two of which were identical and attempt to open the file I have no issue. Note that the InsertObjectAt method also opens the document everytime (once for each cell so 4 rows by 2 cols = 8 times).
excel(XLSM) file starts with first column empty and second column with values and so on it replaces the empty column with immediate column available
XLSM FILE :Before uploading
XLSM FILE:After uploading xlsm shifts to immediate null column
how to find the range or total column without shifting

How to add new rows with cell data and styles in Excel using OpenXML and C#
Though it was a question from my side but not anymore. I'll mention my R&D and code stuff to which resolved my problem.
public override void AddExcelRows(string[] bufData, int cReport, int cSection, int nrow, bool insertRow)
{
int rowIndex;
int colIndex;
rowIndex = //some number
colIndex = //some number
Sheet sheet = wbPart.Workbook.Descendants<Sheet>().Where((s) => s.Name == currentSheetName).FirstOrDefault();
WorksheetPart worksheetPart = wbPart.GetPartById(sheet.Id) as WorksheetPart;
SharedStringTablePart shareStringPart = wbPart.GetPartsOfType<SharedStringTablePart>().FirstOrDefault();
SheetData sheetData = worksheetPart.Worksheet.Elements<SheetData>().First();
for (int colOffset = 0; colOffset <= some number; colOffset++)
{
if (bufData[colOffset] != null)
{
int index = InsertSharedStringItem(bufData[colOffset], shareStringPart);
var columnName = GetExcelColumnName(colIndex + colOffset);
Cell cell = InsertCellInWorksheet(columnName, rowIndex, worksheetPart);
if (cell.CellValue !=null && cell.CellValue.InnerText == bufData[colOffset])//if same value is already present in current cell then skip writign again. it was causing issue writng [kW] for project Technical report.
{
continue;
}
cell.CellValue = new CellValue(index.ToString());
cell.DataType = new EnumValue<CellValues>(CellValues.SharedString);
}
}
if (insertRow)
{
uint nextRowIndex = (uint)rowIndex + 1; //Add min 3 rows in excel with styles (border line)
Row oldRow = sheetData.Elements<Row>().Where(r => r.RowIndex == nextRowIndex).First();
var newRow = oldRow.CopyToLine((uint)nextRowIndex, sheetData);
}
wbPart.Workbook.Save();
}
Helper methods:

Below two methods were reused from: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/cc861607.aspx

Then you need to add an extension Method for Adding new row with styles
public static class ExtensionClass
{
//A method for copying a row and insert it:
//Copy an existing row and insert it
//We don't need to copy styles of a refRow because a CloneNode() or Clone() methods do it for us
public static Row CopyToLine(this Row refRow, uint rowIndex, SheetData sheetData)
{
uint newRowIndex;
var newRow = (Row)refRow.CloneNode(true);
// Loop through all the rows in the worksheet with higher row
// index values than the one you just added. For each one,
// increment the existing row index.
IEnumerable<Row> rows = sheetData.Descendants<Row>().Where(r => r.RowIndex.Value >= rowIndex);
foreach (Row row in rows)
{
newRowIndex = System.Convert.ToUInt32(row.RowIndex.Value + 1);
foreach (Cell cell in row.Elements<Cell>())
{
// Update the references for reserved cells.
string cellReference = cell.CellReference.Value;
cell.CellReference = new StringValue(cellReference.Replace(row.RowIndex.Value.ToString(), newRowIndex.ToString()));
cell.DataType = new EnumValue<CellValues>(CellValues.SharedString);
}
// Update the row index.
row.RowIndex = new UInt32Value(newRowIndex);
}
sheetData.InsertBefore(newRow, refRow);
return newRow;
}
}
I am writing a C# console application that will read values from an excel spreadsheet using OpenXML and create a DataTable.

//Look up real value from shared string table
if ((cell.DataType != null) && (cell.DataType == CellValues.SharedString))
value = stringTablePart.SharedStringTable.ChildElements[Int32.Parse(value)].InnerText;
return value;
}

i had same problem.
This is my workout:
int offset = GetColDiff(lastCol, cell.CellReference);
//filling empty columns
while (offset-- > 1)
dt.Rows[rowCounter][cnt++] = DBNull.Value;
//filling regular column
dt.Rows[rowCounter][cnt++] = value;
lastCol = cell.CellReference;
******************
//calculating column distance
int GetColDiff(string prev, string curr)
{
int i=0;
int index1 = 0;
int index2 = 0;
while (prev!="0" && prev.Length>i && Char.IsLetter(prev[i]))//prev=="0"-startingcondition
{
index1 += ('Z' - 'A' + 1) * index1 + (prev[i] - 'A');
i++;
}
i = 0;
while (curr.Length>i && char.IsLetter(curr[i]))
{
index2 += ('Z' - 'A'+ 1) * index2 + (curr[i] - 'A');
i++;
}
return index2 - index1;
}
My solution to this problem isn't quite as elegant as some might use.
First, I map the columns to a char (A, B, C, D, etc), so I can know that FirstName = A, LastName = B, and Age = C.
Next, I look through the dataCells to see if there is a cell that has the Age reference. If there is a Age cell referenced, I will check the cell's DataType.
ex: dataCells.Where(x => x.CellReference.Value.Contains(cellIndex)).First().DataType == CellValues.SharedString)
In this case, cellIndex would = 'C'.
If the previous linq query is true, then you'll go to the sharedString table and find the value for the age by CellReference.
var age = sharedStrings.ChildElements[int.Parse(dataCells.Where(x => x.CellReference.Value.Contains(cellIndex)).FirstOrDefault().InnerText)].InnerText;
Your problem with accidentally setting the LastName (Column B) to whatever the Age (Column C) should be avoided if you work off of cell reference for each DataRow.
Side note: One thing I just ran into is that blank cells in Excel are stored two different ways. Sometimes there's a reference to a SharedStringTable index (cell.DataType = "s" and cell.InnerText = "37"), and sometimes the cell is just empty (cell.DataType = null and cell.InnerText = "").
