AutoFilter + merge giving an error

Hello,

Current behaviour 😯

When I created a table and merge something in this table, I got an error when opening the excel file.

Excel completed file level validation and repair. Some parts of this workbook may have been repaired or discarded.
Removed Feature: AutoFilter from /xl/tables/table1.xml part (Table)
Removed Feature: Table from /xl/tables/table1.xml part (Table)

Steps to Reproduce 🕹

https://codesandbox.io/s/merge-cells-it88r In my example, I merge cells A1:A2 Click on the download button, open it and you will get the error

Expected 🤔

First thing, it is possible to disable AutoFilter?
If not I would like to disable it or use worksheet without columns

@mvelluet Can you be sure that your excel supports cells in merged tables? My excel doesn’t support it. And I disabled automatic filtering, but I also get an error when opening the excel file.

You can modify the table-xform.js file to disable AutoFilter for verification.

// lib\xlsx\xform\table\table-xform.js
prepare(model, options) {
    // this.map.autoFilter.prepare(model);
    this.map.tableColumns.prepare(model.columns, options)
}

render(xmlStream, model) { 
    //  . . .
    // this.map.autoFilter.render(xmlStream, model);
    this.map.tableColumns.render(xmlStream, model.columns);
    this.map.tableStyleInfo.render(xmlStream, model.style);
}
