Hi,

I am afraid, the feature is not supported at the moment, we have already logged it as an id: CELLSJAVA-18897. Once we have any update about it, we will let you know here.

Thank you.

Hi,

I can find the issue as you mentioned using my sample code with your input file.

When I opened the output file into Ms Excel, I got errors e.g “File not found”, there is also VBA error etc.

Sample code:


Workbook workBook = new Workbook();

workBook.open(“d:\files\removemacro\modelo.xls”);

workBook.removeMacro();

workBook.save(“out.xls”);



I have reopened the issue again and we will figure it out soon.

Thank you.

@maxdanielton,

Aspose.Cells has included more enhancements for removing macros or vba codes in the Excel spreadsheets. There are more ways to to perform the task:

//Remove VBA codes from the spreadsheet
for (int i = vbaModuleCollection.getCount() - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
vbaModuleCollection.removeAt(i);
System.out.println("Removed " + i+1);
}

Another better way can be you may exclude VBA codes/macros while loading the file into Aspose.Cells object model:
e.g

//Specify the load options
LoadOptions opts = new LoadOptions();
 
//We do not want to load macros/vba codes
opts.setLoadFilter(new LoadFilter(~LoadDataFilterOptions.VBA));
 
//Load the workbook
Workbook wb = new Workbook(srcDir + "sampleFilterVBALoadingWorkbook.xlsx", opts);
