Excel Export not working after upgrade to 2.2.6

QuestionsExcel Export not working after upgrade to 2.2.6
Michael Sheppard asked 7 years ago

I cannot export to excel with the new 2.2.6 version (which I noticed is now using PHPExcel_IOFactory instead of the older PHP-export class.
It writes garbage characters that can’t be opened by excel.
How can I fix-this to be able to export?
 
Thanks for any help.

I added an ob_clean_end(); right before the output and that seemed to solve the issue for now.

I apologize for asking questions then finding the answer – but I hope it helps if anyone else has issues.

Thanks

Mike

Are you able to produce same issue on demos > export as well?

Please share you code on gist to regenerate the sceanrio.

An alternate option (if works for you) is to move to old export library. For that rename lib/inc/excel/PHPExcel to “newPHPExcel

This will disable new library and use previous version.
