I am trying to create and save an excel file. I used this module and followed their example. In my case I want to save the result locally. Somehow like this:

var fs = require('fs');

fs.writeFile(filename, result,"binary");

I cannot open the file via excel, because it's saying that the file is corrupted or broken. Looking again at the example of the module, I know that result is in a binary format.

What can I do to parse result correctly for saving the excel file?

Thanks in Advance.

@Dario Thanks, but I tried this already. It didn't work for me. – sedioben Oct 18 '16 at 17:57

Did you try some other node modules, for example like [xlsx](https://www.npmjs.com/package/xlsx) or [exceljs](https://www.npmjs.com/package/exceljs)? – Dario Oct 18 '16 at 18:09
Thanks, I will research on the exceljs. – sedioben Oct 18 '16 at 18:17
