How do I open a newly downloaded excel file in MS Excel from a button click in angular?

Question

I have a scenario where I made a request, got response data, created a .xlsx file using XLSX library. This new excel document is good, means it will open and show correct data when opened from system explorer. But after download I have to display a pop-up like- "Your file is downloaded, Do you want to open it? " and Yes/No buttons. If user clicks on yes, that excel should open in MS Excel.

I tried windows.open, but it will not work as excel file will not open in chrome tab.

No code, as I am not getting even a single solution to this problem.

How to open that excel using button click? More important question is, how do I make angular interact with a system explorer file?

Answer 1

Try using Absolute Path of the file you are trying to open

eg:

Excel.Workbooks.Open("E:\\\\test.xlsx");
