@rajendrak,

I tested your scenario/ case using the following sample code and template file with Aspose.Cells for .NET v19.8.x (please try it), it works fine and the output file (attached) is ok with conditional formattings in tact (when opening the file into MS Excel):
e.g
Sample code:

Workbook sourceWorkbook = new Workbook("e:\\test2\\ConditionalFormattingIssue.xlsx");
            sourceWorkbook.Save("e:\\test2\\out1.xlsx");

Please open the output file (attached) into MS Excel and let us know if you see any issue. In case, your scenario is little different then explain and provide more details to reproduce the issue on our end, we will check it soon.

Hi,
yes the output file “out1.xlsx” is ok with conditional formatting.
But my concern is if you will open out1.xlsx file in MS excel and save it using SaveAs functionality of MS Excel, lets save it with name “out2.xlsx”. After that open out2.xlsx file which is not able to retain conditional formatting.
That is the issue, Could you please check on this why after saveas with different name is not retaining conditional formatting?

Thanks,

@rajendrak,

Thanks for providing further details.

I am able to reproduce the issue as you mentioned. I found conditional formatting is not retained after MS Excel processes file (open and save/save it as) upon the file (saved by Aspose.Cells APIs). Even MS Excel prompts an error message “Excel found unreadable content…” when opening the output file into it. I used the following two steps to reproduce the issue:

Step 1) - Ok
I used the following sample code and template file with Aspose.Cells for .NET v19.8.x, it works fine and the output file (attached) is ok with conditional formattings in tact (when opening the file into MS Excel):
e.g
Sample code:

Workbook sourceWorkbook = new Workbook("e:\\test2\\ConditionalFormattingIssue.xlsx");
sourceWorkbook.Save("e:\\test2\\out1.xlsx");

Step 2) - Not Ok
If I open out1.xlsx file into MS Excel and save it using SaveAs functionality of MS Excel, the output file is not Ok. When I open out2.xlsx file which is not able to retain conditional formatting and that is the issue.
