Export To Excel Problem

Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

Hi,

I am using dotnet variables in nav to  do this.

I followed this link to do the export to excel.

http://forum.mibuso.com/discussion/56735/dotnet-and-excel-in-nav2013.

when I run the report I am getting following error message

"A call to System.__ComObject.Open failed with this message: The type of one or more arguments does not match the method's parameter type."

I have given the following parameters for open function.


XlWrkBk:=XlApp.Workbooks.Open('Excelfile',0,TRUE,5,'','',TRUE,EnumToInt(XlPlatformFullName,

                                                         'xlWindows'),'\t',FALSE,FALSE,0,TRUE,1,0);

I am using NAV 2015 version

Can any body give some useful example or suggestion

Thanks in advance

    Hi,

    you have to do this this way

    ExcelApplicationClass_l := ExcelApplicationClass_l.ApplicationClass;

    ExcelWorkbook_l := ExcelApplicationClass_l.Workbooks.Open(FileName_v,0,TRUE,5,'','',TRUE,ExcelXLPlatform_l.xlWindows,'\t',FALSE,FALSE,0,TRUE,1,0);

    Name DataType Subtype Length

    ExcelApplicationClass_l DotNet Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.ApplicationClass.'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c'

    ExcelWorkbook_l DotNet Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Workbook.'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c'

    ExcelXLPlatform_l DotNet Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XlPlatform.'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c'

    This is a problem, because you have to assign the parameter complete correctly.

    You're EnumToInt(...) will not work in NAV. You have to use dotnet variable for that:

    Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XlPlatform.'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c'

    best regards

    I'm getting an error in NAV 2015 when trying to import an password protected NAV 2015 file, do you have any ideas on how to counter this?

    hi,

    better you use table excel buffer or use the same global vars as in this table like XlWrkBkReader (Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.OpenXml.Spreadsheet.WorkbookReader.'Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.OpenXml, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35') to work with excel files.

    using com objects is always an adventure.

    there goto function OpenBook:

    ...

    XlWrkBkReader := XlWrkBkReader.Open(FileName);

    IF XlWrkBkReader.HasWorksheet(SheetName) THEN BEGIN

     XlWrkShtReader := XlWrkBkReader.GetWorksheetByName(SheetName);

    ...
