Can I open a workbook using Excel.createWorkbook(base64) that has been encrypted?

I know how to use the base64-encoded bytes of a file to create an excel workbook using office.js. The bytes I'm using represent a password-protected (encrypted) Excel workbook. When I use

Excel.createWorkbook(base64)

it prompts the user to enter a password. However, the user will not know the password.

Is there a way to specify the password in code so the file will be opened without prompting the user to enter a password?

Solution

  • Sorry, but there is no way to do this in Office.js at this time.
