Creating Excel file in C#

Now create a new C# console app and add a reference to the DocumentFormat.OpenXml assembly.

// Make a copy of the template file.

// Open the copied template workbook.
using (SpreadsheetDocument myWorkbook = SpreadsheetDocument.Open(@"generated.xlsx", true))

// Access the main Workbook part, which contains all references.

// Get the first worksheet.
