    @Kran2022 , Welcome to Microsoft Q&A, as usual, we could not use the Micosoft.Office.Interop.Excel assembly if we don't install the office software.

    And if you want to export to excel without installing the office software, you could try to use DocumentFormat.OpenXml to do what you wanted.

    I provided an answer in the question and you could check if it is useful for you.

    Best Regards,
    Jack

    no mS Office installed

    COM interop with any Office application requires that application to be installed.

    Hello there,

    Changing the application pool to "Enable 32-Bit Applications" resolved the issue for some users.

    Also building your solution against x86 will force your service to run as 32-bit.
