Remarks

Use the CreateDataTableExporter method to create a DataTableExporter which is the key object of the data export.

Note

When calling the CreateDataTableExporter method, make sure that the number of data columns in the specified dataTable is the same as the number of columns in the specified range; otherwise, a System.ArgumentException will be thrown.

Therefore, if you need to add an additional column to the data table (e.g., an auto-incremented or computed column), you should do it only after DataTableExporter is created.

Use the WorksheetExtensions.CreateDataTable method to create a data table that corresponds to the specified worksheet cell range.
