Solution 2

There's no direct conversion between string and Excel workbook.

If you would like to start programming with Excel, i'd suggest to use EPPlus NuGet packet[^]. This is very fexible (and easy to use) tool.

See:
Advanced Excels With EPPlus[^]
EPPlus Basics and Snippets (Cheatsheet for generating OpenXML Spreadsheet Files using EPPlus)[^]
