Dynamically set export filename

[Erik]

In this example, the filename is hardcoded.  Is it possible to dynamically change the filename? For example add current date/time.

Hi Erik,

To achieve the desired behavior, handle the excelExport event of the Grid. In the event handler, change the e.workbook.fileName to the desired string.

• http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/grid#events-excelExport

For example, the code could look like:

function onEexcelExport: (e) {
    var date = new Date();
    var dateName = kendo.toString(date, "g");
    var fileName = "myExcelName " + dateName;

    e.workbook.fileName = fileName;
};

For a runnable example, check this Dojo: https://dojo.telerik.com/UFAMor
