I want to export the IEnumerable<data> to Excel with customized column names and header styles. Anyone suggest the best way to achieve this by using any plugin or dll ?

Solution 1

ClosedXML[^] would be a better option for formatting
refer this to customize your need
ClosedXML - The easy way to OpenXML - Documentation[^]
ClosedXML - styles[^]

eg:

using (XLWorkbook wb = new XLWorkbook())
       {
           string fileName = "a.xlsx";

           DataTable dt = new DataTable();
           dt.Columns.Add("ID");
           dt.Columns.Add("Name");
           wb.Worksheets.Add(dt);

           var sheet = wb.Worksheet(0);
           sheet.Rows(1, 2).Style.Fill.BackgroundColor = XLColor.Blue;
           sheet.Rows(1, 2).Style.Font.Bold = true;

           sheet.Style.Font.FontSize = 9;
           sheet.Style.Font.FontName = "calibiri";

       }

then try interop which is an expensive one.

you shall use generic list to datatable converter code and pass to it

I have a IEnumerable List right now and need to export the data to EXCEL.

wb.Worksheets.Add(objDataTable);

Instead of adding datatable object to workbook is there any way to add listobject to it by using ClosedXML ? Or any other plugin ?
