"Error while trying to Save as Target: Helvetica is an unexpected token. Expecting white space. Line xxx, position xxx."

I looked at similar previous questions, but not with Helvetica.

I tried to find that kind of font in an all-Arial Excel doc - but couldn't find a single letter...

So I'm at a loss as to what causes this problem.

Attaching the source Excel file for your capable eyes.

Thanks. Doron

  • Thanks, Paul (and nice to meet up again), but the file you sent only has lots of $$$$ (not useful financially, i'm afraid).
    I'm using Studio 2017 with the latest CU.

    Here's the error report:

  • Hi Doron,

    And I thought all those dollars might be worth something ;-)  Point was I don't have an issue with the file and I pseudotranslated it as a test.

    I see you are using the up to date version of 2017 so please try the following.  Create a new  project with your source file but make sure you use the new Excel filetype:

    So uncheck the Excel 2007 v 2.0.0.0 and check SpreadsheetML v.1

    This is the one I have used so please see whether this is working for you too?

    Regards

    Paul

  • Many thanks, Paul, this seems to be working at last!
    Saved me a lot of hard work...
  • Phew... this is the first release of the new Excel filetype built in a similar way to the new Word one we release last year. Has a lot of other new features in it we haven't spoken about a lot yet,.. in fact we haven't mentioned them at all!! Good to see it helped solve this one!
