Can't save excel file after delete of Worksheet

Hi,

I'm running into issues trying to save an excelfile after editing it with PSExcel. I'm trying to get rid of the excess worksheet PSExcel generates when creating a graph, since I'll be using the same dataset to generate a couple of different graphs, and want to avoid having 5 identical worksheets in there.

The following works perfectly:

$Xl = New-Excel -Path C:\temp\report.xlsx 
$WorkBook = $Xl | get-workbook
$WorkSheet = $Workbook | Get-Worksheet -Name "PivotTable1"
$WorkSheet.Name = "DB In Use"
$Xl | save-Excel -close

My pivottable worksheet is renamed to the name I want it to have. But when I do the following, I get an error on saving the excel file:

$Xl = New-Excel -Path C:\temp\report.xlsx 
$WorkBook = $Xl | get-workbook
$WorkSheet = $Workbook | Get-Worksheet -Name "Data1"
$WorkBook.Worksheets.Delete($WorkSheet)
$Xl | save-Excel -close

The script fails on the last line:
`Save-Excel : Error saving file. Exception calling "Save" with "0" argument(s): "Error saving file C:\temp\demo.xlsx"
At R:_Scriptrepository\Under_Construction\Tondelje\ExchangeEnvironmentReport.ps1:158 char:17

  • $Xl | save-Excel <<<< -close
    • CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Write-Error], WriteErrorException
    • FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.WriteErrorException,Save-Excel`

The issue also occurs when using $Workbook.Worksheets.Delete("Data1").

At first I thought this might've been an issue with EPPlus so I've updated to the last version but to no avail.

Thank you for your help!

I'm having a similar problem.

$Outputdate = (Get-Date -Format 'yyyyMMdd.HHmmss')
$InvStruct.InvData | Export-XLSX -Path "$($InvSTruct.outputfolder)\Nagios_Inventory_$outputdate.xlsx" -Table -Autofit -Force
$Excel = New-Excel -Path "$($InvSTruct.outputfolder)\DAF_Nagios_Inventory_$Outputdate.xlsx"
$Excel | Get-WorkSheet | Format-Cell -Header -Bold $True -Size 12
$Excel | Get-WorkSheet | Format-Cell -StartColumn 1 -EndColumn 20 -Autofit -AutofitMinWidth 3 -AutofitMaxWidth 60
$Worksheet = $Excel | Get-Worksheet
$WorkSheet | Set-FreezePane -Row 2
$Excel | Save-Excel -Close

Yeah, sorry about that, s/18/48, sorry!

@RamblingCookieMonster Np at all, thanks for the fix. I'll try it out asap.

Oh! To clarify, the commit was for #48, not this one!

That is strange that it doesn't like the delete method - will have to check that out!

@RamblingCookieMonster I did test the new release anyway and it indeed does not fix this issue. Stil getting:

Save-Excel : Error saving file. Exception calling "Save" with "0" argument(s): "Error saving file ...

When using $Excel | Save-Excel -Close

@RamblingCookieMonster
I am facing the same issue. 1st I got it for Format-Cell -Autofit and now am getting it for Close-Excel -Save. Thing to notice here is, my script runs on a loop and it fails intermittently.

Any help on this please?

@RamblingCookieMonster
Thanks for the code, However -Save issue is still persists.

$Excel | Close-Excel -Save
OR
$Excel | Save-Excel -Close

Both giving same error
