I have a C# method, see code below, that generates an Excel spreadsheet using EPPlus. The method takes in 3 strings, one of which is a pipe delimited string named csv that has my data in it. The data I'm using has 14 columns, and in the 14th column I have data that looks like: 103.01.06, or 01.01, or some other numeric values separated by periods. The problem I'm seeing is that if the value is 103.01.06, then EPPlus transforms that into the value -656334. Is there some way to fix this?
private void GenerateSpreadsheet(string id, string csv, string worksheetName)
{
using (ExcelPackage pck = new ExcelPackage())
{
ExcelWorksheet ws = pck.Workbook.Worksheets.Add(worksheetName);
ws.Cells["A1"].LoadFromText(csv, new ExcelTextFormat{Delimiter = '|'});
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition",
String.Format("attachment; filename={0}.xlsx", id));
Response.ContentType =
"application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet";
Response.ContentEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("utf-8");
Response.BinaryWrite(pck.GetAsByteArray());
Response.End();
}
}
