Hi everyone, I am wondering if it is possible to add password to an Xlsx file in Elixir. I am using elixlsx for the files generations, but it seems to lack this option. Other dependencies in Elixir seem to lack that option too… so I’m starting to think that I might have to spawn a process for runnin…

I’m not aware of an existing library with this option. Can you provide more info on your specific use case? Perhaps there is an alternative approach?

Basically the client’s request, they want xlsx files generated with a password.

Hi did you manage to protect the xlsx file with a password???

protect() - Frequently Asked Questions — XlsxWriter The section outlines some answers to frequently asked questions. I don’t see protect in elixlsx so you’d have to use the lower level library xml_stream .
