2.  In the method that will actually run the report, instantiate the ExcelTemplate object.

...

5. Call ExcelTemplate.Process() to import all data into the file.

Code Block
 XLT.Process();

We are not saving the file, since we will be using ExcelApplication to access the file and post-process.

Without the post processing, the populated file will persist the column width and heights. It should look something like this:

Post-Processing

1. In the post-processing method, instantiate the ExcelApplication object:

Code Block

ExcelApplication XLA = new ExcelApplication();

2. Open the populated file via the ExcelTemplate object. The file will open as a Workbook object

Code Block

Workbook wb = XLA.Open(XLT);

3. Access the first Worksheet.

Code Block

Worksheet ws = wb.Worksheets[0];

4. Call Area.AutoFitHeight() and Area.AutoFitWidth() to set the column and row height correctly. In this snippet, the area is Worksheet.PopulatedCells, which returns an area containing all populated cells.

Code Block

ws.PopulatedCells.AutoFitWidth();
ws.PopulatedCells.AutoFitWidth();

5. Finally call ExcelApplication.Save to save the final file. This example streams the file using the page response.

Code Block

 XLA.Save(wb, Page.Response, "temp.xlsx", false);

The final output should look something like this Image Added
