WHat can we do to seamlessly support xls version output?

Hi @Amjad_Sahi

We are using 22.6.4 of aspose-cells as advised last by aspose to use.
xls issue has been running from long in our application at Citi.
It works fine with xlsx/xlsm.

Its part of a big application and aspose is at the core of it.

Regards,
Nikhil

@nikhilvijay,

I am afraid, without a simulation application that should reproduce the issue on our end, we cannot evaluate your issue and hence cannot help much. As suggested earlier, kindly create a separate sample code/project (runnable) and sample file(s) to reproduce the issue on our end, we will check it soon.

PS. please zip the project or resource files prior attaching

Hi @Amjad_Sahi,

Cant share any specific code snippet as code travers through thousand of lines of code. Aspose is at the centre of it. We have seen cases where excel crashes for output in xls format generated through aspose, formatting mismatch and some others.

@nikhilvijay,

We are sorry but there can be many incorrectly saved data structures that may cause the the file corrupted when opening it with MS Excel. Moreover, we recently fixed some issues which caused converted XLS file corrupted while converting XLSX file to XLS. Please try using our latest version/fix: Aspose.Cells for Java v22.9 (Download | Maven) if it makes any difference. Moreover, the incorrect data for different files are different too. So, I am afraid, without the file or sample code, we cannot trace your issue.

At least you may share some files generated by your application and are corrupted, so we could start investigation and analyze the files to see whether we can get some clue to trace your issue.

Please share your corrupted file , we will check it.
And it’s better that you can provide a sample project to locate this issue.
