Export DataTable to Excel with Open Xml SDK in c#

Viewed 137654

My program have ability to export some data and DataTable to Excel file (template) In the template I insert the data to some placeholders. It's works very good, but I need to insert a DataTable too... My sample code:

using (Stream OutStream = new MemoryStream())
{
    // read teamplate
    using (var fileStream = File.OpenRead(templatePath))
        fileStream.CopyTo(OutStream);

    // exporting
    Exporting(OutStream);
         
    // to start
    OutStream.Seek(0L, SeekOrigin.Begin);
            
    // out
    using (var resultFile = File.Create(resultPath))
        OutStream.CopyTo(resultFile);

Next method to exporting

private void Exporting(Stream template)
{
    using (var workbook = SpreadsheetDocument.Open(template, true, new OpenSettings                          { AutoSave = true }))
    {
        // Replace shared strings
        SharedStringTablePart sharedStringsPart = workbook.WorkbookPart.SharedStringTablePart;
        IEnumerable<Text> sharedStringTextElements = sharedStringsPart.SharedStringTable.Descendants<Text>();
           
        DoReplace(sharedStringTextElements);
        // Replace inline strings
        IEnumerable<WorksheetPart> worksheetParts = workbook.GetPartsOfType<WorksheetPart>();
          
        foreach (var worksheet in worksheetParts)
        {
            DoReplace(worksheet.Worksheet.Descendants<Text>());
        }

        int z = 40;
        foreach (System.Data.DataRow row in ExcelWorkXLSX.ToOut.Rows)
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < row.ItemArray.Count(); i++)
            { 
                ExcelWorkXLSX.InsertText(workbook, row.ItemArray.ElementAt(i).ToString(), getColumnName(i), Convert.ToUInt32(z)); }
                z++;
            }
        } 
        
    }
}

But this fragment to output DataTable slooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwww...

I wanted to add this answer because I used the primary answer from this question as my basis for exporting from a datatable to Excel using OpenXML but then transitioned to OpenXMLWriter when I found it to be much faster than the above method.

You can find the full details in my answer in the link below. My code is in VB.NET though, so you'll have to convert it.
