3805686 - SAC Excel Add-in Workbook downloads as .xsjs instead of .xlsx

Symptom

  • Downloading some Excel Add-In workbooks from the tenant results in a file with extension .xsjs instead of .xlsx.
  • Other Excel Add-In workbooks download as .xlsx as expected.
  • The same impacted workbook can be opened successfully by browsing to it from within the Excel Add-In.

Environment

  • Product: SAP Analytics Cloud
  • SAP Analytics Cloud, add-in for Microsoft Office

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create an Excel Add-In workbook.
  2. Save the workbook to the tenant with a name using a special character. 
  3. Download the workbook from the tenant; the downloaded file has extension .xsjs instead of .xlsx.

Cause

An apostrophe (') in the workbook name causes the download to produce a .xsjs file when Multi Actions are embedded.

There may be other characters that cause this issue. 

Resolution

  1. Rename the workbook to remove any apostrophes (') from the workbook name, save it, and download again; the file should download as .xlsx.
  2. Alternatively, open the workbook by browsing to it from within the SAP Analytics Cloud, add-in for Microsoft Office, instead of downloading it from the tenant.
