I am exporting content in Telerik Grid using ToExcelIML(), which works all fine, then, the output from ToExcelIML(), I send that data to server and the from server I change the response as:
This gives user an option to either open excel file or save it. If user opens it directly, without saving the file first. Excel opens up with a message:
"The file you are trying to open, 'Report[1].xls', is in different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?"
options provided by message box: [Yes] | [No] | [Help].
| Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"; |
| Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "filename=Report.xls;attachment"); |

options provided by message box: [Yes] | [No] | [Help].
- Why does excel think that format is not right, is there something wrong with the xml generated by ToExcelIML() function?
After I click on [Yes] button in message box, file opens up fine, headers with filter options.
Now, if I try to insert "Pivot" on this spread sheet. By selecting few cells and rows with/without headers and then selecting "Insert"->"Pivot" as soon I press [Ok] on Dialogbox to confrim my Pivoting, I see this error:
"Datasource reference is not valid", but If I save this file on desktop and reopen it then pivoting works all fine:
- Any clue what would cause this error?

Hi,
You get this warning since the default MS Excel format is XLSX (Open XML). I'm not sure however about the pivot - maybe the issue again is the file format (Excel will reformat the document once you save it).
All the best,
