I am writing data to an excel file but when I open the written file, the first row of the file (that includes the column headings) is hidden and I have to manually expand it to show the headings. Is there a way to fix this in the writer at all? 

Strange behavior. Do you use a template or do you write to existing file?

If you don't use a template file, maybe using a template file will solve your issue. But i’m curious what causes this behavior.

Hi @emerson_styles Unfortunately this is a known issue, filed as FMEENGINE-82549. The work-around is to set the Row Height to 0 on the Feature Type.

I can verify that this issue is also “following” up to FME Flow 2024.0. If you publish a workbench with a excel writer and choose the Data Download service, if you run the script and then download the resulting excel file then the first row has the value 0 in row height and is being hidden.
