Exporting sheet properties corrupts the file and it cannot be opened in Excel.
In the latest version we export:
<sheetPr>
<pageSetUpPr fitToPage="true" />
<tabColor rgb="FF92D050" />
</sheetPr>
Excel cannot read this and tries to recover the file unsuccessfully. This works in R3 2020.
At this point, only the styling is preserved without the hyperlink itself. Implement logic to add the hyperlink to the generated PDF document.
Workaround: check the attached project.
