Cannot open CSV after SMO saved it as XLSX

Post by romraptor »

Hi! I had some Excel spreadsheets at work that I brought home (CSV files made in Excel containing nothing more than some text).

They open fine in PlanMaker so I edited some text and clicked Save. PlanMaker then saved them as XLSX.

Lastly, I brought the XLSX files back to work, but unfortunately Excel wasn't able open them. Said something about wrong format. Renaming to CSV didn't help either.

I was able to reproduce the issue you described.
I'm going to report it to the developers and will let you know when it's fixed.

Hi, the issue was fixed and will be available in the next service pack.
In the meanwhile, the solution is simple: rename the .xlsx extension to .xls or do a save as xls in PlanMaker
