PHP Excel – The file you are trying to open .xls is in a different format than specified by the file extension

I have used CloseXML to solve the problem.

public static void ExportToExcel(IEnumerable<dynamic> data, string sheetName)
{
    XLWorkbook wb = new XLWorkbook();
    var ws = wb.Worksheets.Add(sheetName);
    ws.Cell(2, 1).InsertTable(data);
    HttpContext.Current.Response.Clear();
    HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet";
    HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", String.Format(@"attachment;filename={0}.xlsx",sheetName.Replace(" ","_")));

    using (MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream())
    {
        wb.SaveAs(memoryStream);
        memoryStream.WriteTo(HttpContext.Current.Response.OutputStream);
        memoryStream.Close();
    }

    HttpContext.Current.Response.End();
}

Installed ClosedXML in my project using Nuget Package Manager.
