User can edit the exported Excel file by MS excel easily, the Excel has writable/readonly attributes for columns which can be editable and non-editable to avoid error-prone.

Help! I used this with no problems in my file earlier. Now I'm getting an error and can't export my view schedule.

"A transaction or sub-transaction was opened but not closed. All changes to the active document made by External Command will be discarded."

I created a detached version of the project in case it was an issue of editability. No luck.
