CustomDocumentProperties for Excel2007

Aspose.Cells Product Family
#1

Hello,

I tried to save CustomDocumentProperties in my excel document using latest Aspose.Cell release and custom properties are not saved.

I used the following code

Dim Workbook As New Aspose.Cells.Workbook

Workbook.Open(_FileName, Aspose.Cells.FileFormatType.Excel2007Xlsx)

Workbook.Worksheets.CustomDocumentProperties.Add([Property].PropertyName, [Property].PropertyValue)

Workbook.Save(_FileName, Aspose.Cells.FileFormatType.Excel2007Xlsx)

Is there something wrong with my code or this feature is not supported for Excel 2007?

Thnks in advance.

Hello,

I am trying 4.1.1.9. Custom properties are fine now.

But I can see that builtin properties doesn't work (except Title and Author)

The code is pretty simple (StandardProperties is my class, any text constants could be used here)

Workbook.Open(_FileName, Aspose.Cells.FileFormatType.Excel2007Xlsx)

Workbook.Worksheets.BuiltInDocumentProperties.Author = StandartProperties.Author.PropertyValue

Workbook.Worksheets.BuiltInDocumentProperties.Category = StandartProperties.Category.PropertyValue

Workbook.Worksheets.BuiltInDocumentProperties.Comments = StandartProperties.Comments.PropertyValue

Workbook.Worksheets.BuiltInDocumentProperties.Company = StandartProperties.Company.PropertyValue

Workbook.Worksheets.BuiltInDocumentProperties.Keywords = StandartProperties.Keywords.PropertyValue

Workbook.Worksheets.BuiltInDocumentProperties.Manager = StandartProperties.Manager.PropertyValue

Workbook.Worksheets.BuiltInDocumentProperties.Subject = StandartProperties.Subject.PropertyValue

Workbook.Worksheets.BuiltInDocumentProperties.Title = StandartProperties.Title.PropertyValue

Workbook.Save(_FileName, Aspose.Cells.FileFormatType.Excel2007Xlsx)

Hi,

I used a template .xlsx file and following is my code which works fine (I retrieve all the properties values at runtime) except for the Category property:

Workbook workbook = new Workbook();
workbook.Open("d:\\test\\companybuiltin.xlsx",FileFormatType.Excel2007Xlsx);
DocumentProperties customProperties = workbook.Worksheets.BuiltInDocumentProperties;

DocumentProperty customProperty1 = customProperties["Author"];
string prop1 = (string)customProperty1.Value;
MessageBox.Show(prop1);

DocumentProperty customProperty2 = customProperties["Category"];
string prop2 = (string)customProperty2.Value;
MessageBox.Show(prop2);

DocumentProperty customProperty3 = customProperties["Comments"];
string prop3 = (string)customProperty3.Value;
MessageBox.Show(prop3);

DocumentProperty customProperty4 = customProperties["Company"];
string prop4 = (string)customProperty4.Value;
MessageBox.Show(prop4);

DocumentProperty customProperty5= customProperties["Keywords"];
string prop5 = (string)customProperty5.Value;
MessageBox.Show(prop5);

DocumentProperty customProperty6= customProperties["Subject"];
string prop6 = (string)customProperty6.Value;
MessageBox.Show(prop6);

DocumentProperty customProperty7= customProperties["Title"];
string prop7 = (string)customProperty7.Value;
MessageBox.Show(prop7);

DocumentProperty customProperty8= customProperties["Manager"];
string prop8 = (string)customProperty8.Value;
MessageBox.Show(prop8);

Thank you.

Hi Amjad,

I have problems not with gettin properites but with setting and saving them, but as I understand reply

karen.huang this feaure is not implemented yet (I find it strange that the feature is implemented for Aspose.Words as Word and Excel store builtin properties in a very similar way)

Hi,

<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

The attached version fixed this built-in properties issue. Please try it.

To the other issue about CalulateFormula exception from the post:

File “ASposeCantOpenIt.xlsx” contains Excel 2007 feature table and currently Aspose.Cells does not support to count table’s formula. So, if you call “CalculateFormula()”, a CellsException will thrown out.

If you need to know whether the exception is due to unsupported formula, please inform us, we can provide you a fix to throw an “unsupportedFormula” exception

Thank you

Hi,

I would really appreciate such fix to be able to habdle this exception correctly.

But I have one question here: if the exception occurs will other formulas which are located after the unsupported one be calculated in the book when the exception occurs?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I think you may utilize Workbook.CalculateFormula(true) for it.

Thank you.

#13

Hello,

I've tried to use

Workbook.Open(_FileName, Aspose.Cells.FileFormatType.Excel2007Xlsx)

Workbook.CalculateFormula(True)

Workbook.Save(_FileName, Aspose.Cells.FileFormatType.Excel2007Xlsx)

and here is what I got - in attachment you can find two documents. The document "AfterCalculate EDIT ASposeCantOpenIt D44600-Wh 1.0.xlsx" was saved by Aspose after I executed CalculateFormula(True). Now excel says that the document is corrupted and suggest me to repair it.

#14

We will check it soon. Thank you.

#15

Hi,

<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Please try the attached fix.

Workbook.CalculateFormula() will throws CellsException with ExceptionType.Formula when it encounter unsupported formulas.

Workbook.CalculateFormula(True) will ignore calculate formula error and the exceptions will be swallowed.

Thank you
