Current behavior

   let res: Result<(), XlsxError> = export_excel(uf_map_list, tgt_path, false, true).await;
        return match res {
            Ok(_) => {
                Ok(())
            }
            Err(e) => {
                log::error!("err:{}", e);

                return Err(e.to_string().as_str());
            }
        };

### Expected behavior

Currently I get XlsxError but I can't get the information inside

### Environment

```markdown
- `rust_xlsxwriter` version:0.60.0
- Cargo.toml dependency line for `rust_xlsxwriter`: rust_xlsxwriter = { version = "0.60.0" }
- rustc version:rustc 1.75.0 (82e1608df 2023-12-21)
- Excel version:16
- OS:
- If using wasm, which method/tool:

Any other information

It should work as expected.

Here is a complete working example that raises and outputs an error:

use rust_xlsxwriter::{Workbook, XlsxError};

fn main() -> Result<(), String> {
    let res: Result<(), XlsxError> = export_excel();
    return match res {
        Ok(_) => Ok(()),
        Err(e) => {
            return Err(e.to_string());
        }
    };
}

fn export_excel() -> Result<(), XlsxError> {
    let mut workbook = Workbook::new();
    let worksheet = workbook.add_worksheet();

    // This will raise an error.
    worksheet.write(0, 16_384, "Hello")?;

    // Save the file to disk.
    workbook.save("gh68.xlsx")?;

    Ok(())
}

Output:

$ cargo run --example gh68
   Compiling rust_xlsxwriter v0.60.0 (/path/rust_xlsxwriter)
    Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.47s

tokio::spawn(async move {
   let res: Result<(), XlsxError> = export_excel(uf_map_list, tgt_path, false, true).await;
        return match res {
            Ok(_) => {
                Ok(())
            }
            Err(e) => {
                log::error!("err:{}", e);

                return Err(e.to_string().as_str());
            }
        };
        });

My approximate code is like this

And what is the error that you get?

[han1548772930]

error[E0515]: cannot return value referencing temporary value

That is just a general rust issue where you can't return a &str from a function without specifying some lifetime. See for example:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29781331/why-cant-i-return-an-str-value-generated-from-a-string

It doesn't have anything to do with rust_xlsxwriter.

I changed the way it works now

  let res: Result<(), XlsxError> = export_excel(uf_map_list, tgt_path, false, true).await;
        return match res {
            Ok(_) => {
                "".to_string()
            }
            Err(e) => {
                log::error!("err:{}", e);
                e.to_string()
            }
        };
