Excel Object in asp.net - excel

I have a serious issue.
I am using excel object for opening the excel file
it works fine i my PC.
when i make application as a website and running the page and uploading it gives the error "'C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\Work\SABRE MSO Mapping Request Template.xlsx' could not be found. Check the spelling of the file name, and verify that the file location is correct. If you are trying to open the file from your list of most recently used files, make sure that the file has not been renamed, moved, or deleted. ".
I think it taking server path...but i want to open client excel file before saving the file to the server.
Plz help.

have you tried server.mappath() method ?? Do you have proper permissions setup to access the folder??

Are you passing complete file path to the excel for opening the file? Please try this:
if (fileUpload.HasFile)
{
string fileName = "PATH_RELATIVE_TO_YOUR_SITE" + "FILE_NAME";
fileUpload.PostedFile.SaveAs(fileName);
//NOW open excel using fileName;
}
also you need write permissions to the path (folder) you are writing file to.

Excel file getting corrupted while downloading using PowerShell/Curl

I am trying to download an Excel file from Artifactory to my local machine using a PowerShell/Curl script. The Excel file is getting created, but when I open a sheet I am getting the below message and there is no data in this.
The file format and extension of 'DataSheet_DEP.xls' don't match. The file could be corrupted or unsafe. Unless you trust its source, don't open it. Do you want to open it anyway?
curl.exe -k -u artifactory_TEMP:Password16 https://../artifactory/../DataSheet_DEP.xls --output D:\ABC\Team Members\Datasheet\DataSheet_DEP.xls
Just to add Excel file is in 97-2003 workbook (.xls). I am able to download the file manually without any issue.
This is resolved now.. I was using wrong artifactory path. Thanks everyone who tried to help here

What .xlsx file format is this?

Using an existing SSIS package, I was trying to import .xlsx files we received from a client. I received the error message:
External table is not in the expected format
These files will open in XL
When I use XL (currently XL2010) to Save As... the file without making any changes:
The new file imports just fine
The new file is 330% the size of the original file
When changing .xlsx to .zip and investigating the contents with WinZip:
The original file only has 4 .xml files and a _rels folder (with 2 .rels files):
The new file has the expected .xlsx contents:
Does anyone know what kind of file this could be?
It would be nice to develop my SSIS package to work with these original files, without having to open and re-save each file. There are only 12 files, so if there are no other options, opening/saving each file is not that big of deal...and I could automate it with VBA going forward.
Thanks for any help anyone can provide,

There are many Excel file formats.
The file you are trying to import may have another excel format but the extension is changed to .xlsx (it could be edited by someone else) , or it could be created with a different Excel version.
There is a Third-Part application called TridNet File Identifier which is an utility designed to identify file types from their binary signatures. you can use it to specify the real extension of the specified file.
Also after a simple search on External table is not in the expected format this error is thrown when the definition (or version) of the excel files supported in the connection string is different from the file selected. Check the connection string used in the excel connection manager. It might help to identify the version of the file.

Download Excel with pivot table IE appending [1] to file name

Currently I am face this issue.
when I am directly opening from IE with out saving , IE adding [1]/Version to file name
Example: Test.xlsx file in backend but when i am opening the file its renamed to Test[1].xlsx.And this is creating the issue.
Can any one suggest what I am doing wrong here.
//res.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
//res.setContentType("application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet");
//res.reset();
//res.setHeader("Expires", "0");
myDownloadTask{
//res.setHeader("Cache-Control","must-revalidate,post-check=0, pre-check=0");
//res.setHeader("Pragma", "public");
//res.setContentType("application/force-download");
//res.setHeader("Content-Transfer-Encoding", "binary");
res.setContentType("application/ms-excel; charset=UTF-8");
res.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
fileName=EncodeFileName(fileName);
res.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename="+fileName);
}
You have a file with Test.xlsx already on your hard disk, this is why IE rename it to Test[1].xlsx.
I think you can not handle it, you can create a unique file name on the server every time, or gently prompt to user to make sure he does not have a file with same name on his hard disk !

Upload and Save an excel file with BottlePy

I am creating an application using Bottle framework. I need a feature to upload an Excel file.
I am using the following for file upload.
http://bottlepy.org/docs/dev/tutorial.html#post-form-data-and-file-uploads
On the server side I am getting the file data as binary content. I want to save it in a temporary folder as an Excel file.
I am new to Python and Bottle. Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks

Your request.files.data object contains the data about your excel file. So you only need to create a temporary folder and save it inside. This can be done using the tempfile module
f = tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile(delete=False, suffix=".xlsx")
f.write(request.files.data.file.read())
f.close()
I was not able to get simple file writing code like yours to work, So I used the tempfile module. Looking at your code, I would have assumed it would write to the directory where the python file is, if the code is working. Try using the code below, if you don't pass arguments to dir, it will create a file in the current directory.
def save_as_temp_file(data):
with tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile(dir=settings.TEMP_PATH,
delete=False,
suffix=".xlsx") as f:
f.write(data.file.read())
return f.name
