PS Query to Excel - XML Causing Corruption Error

in PeopleTools and Lifecycle Management - PSFT (MOSC) 2 commentsAnswered

We have queries in PeopleSoft that we run to Excel. For those using English versions of Excel, the .xlsx file opens without issue. Users on German based Excel, however, get a message that the .xlsx file is corrupted. In order for them to open the file in Excel, we must change the file to a .zip file, unpack it, open the workbook.xml and make an update to the entry:

From PS Query produced workbook.xml: <calcPr fullCalcOnLoad="true"/>

Updated workbook.xml: <calcPr fullCalcOnLoad="wahr"/> or <calcPR fullCalcOnLoad="1"/>

The setting must be either set to "1" or "wahr" (wahr being the German for true). Once set, saved and rebundled into .xlsx, our German speaking users can open the Excel report without further issue.

Howdy, Stranger!
