    Hi Sean,

    Thank you so much for your reply, When I export Far point to (.xlsx) format, its showing this error message “Excel cannot open the file ‘test.xlsx’ because the file format or file extension is not

    valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the

    format of the file”

    I pressed ok for this message and when I open Excel the file is empty.

    When I export to (.xls) format in some columns automatically adding decimals for example

    234544.00 for the entire column. How to avoid this issue?

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Please try saving your .xlsx file with UseOOXMLFormat option of the ExcelSaveFlags enumeration. You can implement the same using the following line of code:

    [csharp] FpSpread1.SaveExcel(@"D:\file1.xlsx", FarPoint.Excel.ExcelSaveFlags.UseOOXMLFormat);[/csharp]

    Also, I could not replicate the decimals related issue at my end. When I tried exporting the file in .xls format using the following line of code, there are no decimals in the resultant excel file:

    [csharp] FpSpread1.SaveExcel(@"D:\file1.xls");[/csharp]

    Please refer to the attached sample application implementing the same. Hope it helps.

    Thanks and Regards,

    Hi,

    Is it possible to export with Custom Headers plus save as xlsx? So basically when i save as xlsx and open it says corrupt.

    sample code:

    sprVw.SaveExcel(“C:\excelfile.xlsx”, FarPoint.Win.Spread.Model.IncludeHeaders.ColumnHeadersCustomOnly)

    or

    sprVw.SaveExcel(“C:\excelfile.xlsx”, FarPoint.Excel.ExcelSaveFlags.SaveCustomColumnHeaders)

    Thank you

    Hi,

    You can use “Or”. For example:

    FpSpread1.SaveExcel(“C:\testfile.xlsx”, FarPoint.Excel.ExcelSaveFlags.SaveCustomColumnHeaders Or FarPoint.Excel.ExcelSaveFlags.UseOOXMLFormat)

    fpSpread1.SaveExcel(“d:\excelfile.xlsx”, FarPoint.Excel.ExcelSaveFlags.UseOOXMLFormat | FarPoint.Excel.ExcelSaveFlags.SaveCustomColumnHeaders);
