Export Kendo grid data to multiple sheets of Excel

Question

Is it possible to export contents of kendo data grid to multiple sheets of Excel?

Answer 1

Yes, it is possible.

Setup your grid to capture excel export event

MVC:

.Events(e => e.ExcelExport("onExcelExportGrid"))

or javascript

"excelExport": onExcelExportGrid,

This javascript method will allow access to the workbook kendo will use to build excel file. This follows a very simple schema

var workbook = new kendo.ooxml.Workbook({
  sheets: [
      {
          rows: [
              { cells: [ { value: "foo" } ] }
          ]
      }
  ]
});

To prepend a new sheet, use something like

function excelPrependWorksheet(wb, worksheetName)
{
    var sheet = {
        "name": worksheetName,
        "rows": [
            { "cells": [] }
        ]
    }

    wb["sheets"].unshift(sheet);
}

function onExcelExportGrid(e)
{
    excelPrependWorksheet(e.workbook, "example");

    // fill out row and cells values here.
}
