Use the below code snippet to generate XLSX document and export it. You will notice that the export operation is extremely slow:
Stopwatch sw = new Stopwatch();
sw.Start();
IWorkbookFormatProvider formatProvider = new Telerik.Windows.Documents.Spreadsheet.FormatProviders.OpenXml.Xlsx.XlsxFormatProvider();
Workbook workbook = new Workbook();
Worksheet worksheet = workbook.Worksheets.Add();
Worksheet worksheet2 = workbook.Worksheets.Add();
worksheet2.Name ="Days";
List<string> weekdays = new List<string>() { "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday", "Sunday"};
for (int i = 0; i < 7; i++)
{
worksheet2.Cells[0, i].SetValue(weekdays[i]);
}
for (int i = 0; i < 200; i++)
{
for (int j = 0; j < 10; j++)
{
CellIndex cellIndex = new CellIndex(i, j);
CellSelection selection = worksheet.Cells[cellIndex];
selection.SetValue("Wednesday");
var context = new ListDataValidationRuleContext(worksheet, cellIndex)
{
InputMessageTitle = "InputMessageTitle",
InputMessageContent = "InputMessageTitle"
};
context.ErrorStyle = ErrorStyle.Stop;
context.ErrorAlertTitle = "ErrorAlertTitle";
context.ErrorAlertContent = "ErrorAlertContent";
context.InCellDropdown = true;
context.Argument1 = "=Days!A0:A6"; //"Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday";
ListDataValidationRule rule = new(context);
worksheet.Cells[cellIndex].SetDataValidationRule(rule);
}
}
string outputFile = @"..\..\..\output.xlsx";
File.Delete(outputFile);
using (Stream output = new FileStream(outputFile, FileMode.Create))
{
formatProvider.Export(workbook, output);
}
sw.Stop();
Debug.WriteLine("Export " + sw.ElapsedMilliseconds);
Import an XLSX document and auto-fit the columns. Then, export the document to XLSX format.
Even though a SpreadFixedTextMeasurer is applied and a FontProvider is implemented, the columns are not wide enough to fit the content:
Incorrect calculation of UsedCellRange when conditional formatting is applied to a large cell range.
Workaround:
var usedCellRange = workbook.ActiveWorksheet.GetUsedCellRange(
CellPropertyDefinitions.AllPropertyDefinitions
.Except(
CellPropertyDefinitions.AllPropertyDefinitions.Where(p => p.Name == "DataValidationRule" || p.Name == "ConditionalFormatting")));
CellSelection.SetValue method causes memory leak of CellReferenceRangeExpression objects in some cases when cell value is referenced by formulas. The memory leak is small, but the remaining CellReferenceRangeExpression continue to listen to some events, causing performance issues when their number become large - the time to set the value increases with each set.
Use the code to import a sample txt file containing a "+" sign in a cell value:
Workbook workbook;
Telerik.Windows.Documents.Spreadsheet.FormatProviders.IWorkbookFormatProvider formatProvider = new Telerik.Windows.Documents.Spreadsheet.FormatProviders.TextBased.Txt.TxtFormatProvider();
using (Stream input = new FileStream(@"sample.txt", FileMode.Open))
{
workbook = formatProvider.Import(input);
}
Expected behavior: the file is imported successfully
Actual behavior: an error is thrown
In some cases when cells are merged the cell borders are not correctly imported.
Sometimes leading minus sign in a cell with text is treated as a formula.
A possible workaround is to remove the minus sign or to replace it with some other symbol.
When there are unclosed quotes (") several cells/rows are imported as one.
A possible workaround is to replace all the quote (") symbols with single quote (') symbols.
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."
