When opening an Xlsx file with conditional formatting I get an Exception:
"System.ArgumentNullException: 'Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'formatting')'

To quote my colleage: "After dissecting the Excel template file, I have isolated what is causing the issue. If conditional formatting is used to disable cell boarders it results in the error, if the conditional formatting is updated to turn the necessary borders white, instead of disabling the report exports correctly, the following screenshot also explains."
If a worksheet spans more than one page, you can print row and column headings or labels (also called print titles) on every page to ensure that the data is properly labeled.
If a rule is added with no formatting (for example, in the case when we want to add a rule which preserves the default formatting in some cases) the exported document is corrupted.
DifferentialFormatting formatting2 = new DifferentialFormatting();
ContainsBlanksRule rule2 = new ContainsBlanksRule(formatting2);
rule2.Formatting = formatting2;
ConditionalFormatting conditionalFormatting2 = new ConditionalFormatting(rule2);
worksheet.Cells[1, 2, 12, 2].AddConditionalFormatting(conditionalFormatting2);
A possible workaround is to add formatting to the rule, which copies the default:
DifferentialFormatting formatting2 = new DifferentialFormatting();
formatting2.Fill = new PatternFill(PatternType.Solid, Colors.Transparent, Colors.Transparent);
CellBorder border = new CellBorder(CellBorderStyle.Thin, new ThemableColor(Color.FromRgb(212, 212, 212)));
formatting2.LeftBorder = border;
formatting2.TopBorder = border;
formatting2.RightBorder = border;
formatting2.BottomBorder = border;
Applying text format to a column also sets the format to the next column.
This happens when the columns have a size different from the default and two consecutive columns with different format also have the same size. This can be worked around with a slight change in the column sizes:
int columnCount = worksheet.UsedCellRange.ColumnCount;
for(int i = 1; i < columnCount; i++)
{
ColumnWidth colWidth = worksheet.Columns[i].GetWidth().Value;
if(colWidth.Value != SpreadsheetDefaultValues.DefaultColumnWidth)
{
ColumnWidth previousColWidth = worksheet.Columns[i - 1].GetWidth().Value;
if(colWidth.Equals(previousColWidth))
{
worksheet.Columns[i].SetWidth(new ColumnWidth(colWidth.Value + 1, colWidth.IsCustom));
}
}
}
Add support for pivot tables.
