Export spreadsheet as format
Excel API : ExportSpreadsheetAsFormat
Overview
Converts a spreadsheet in cloud storage to the specified format.
Function Description
This method processes a spreadsheet directly in cloud storage, converting it to the requested output format (e.g., XLSX, PDF, CSV) without requiring the file to be downloaded to the local machine. The operation relies on valid cloud storage credentials and an accessible file path or identifier. The conversion is performed remotely, reducing data transfer and improving performance for large files. If the source file is not found, access is denied, or an error occurs during conversion, an appropriate exception will be thrown. Supported output formats are determined by the capabilities of the underlying cloud conversion service.
