hi,

I have Implemented Export to Excel for A RadGridView Content. It is working.
But the problem here is, I have child templetes also in my application.

Can you please tell me how to export The RadGridView content including Child templates
Or is there any property to be assigned.

Thank you.

regards,
Mahitha Madala.

Hello Mahitha Madala,

Thank you for the question.

RadGridView export to excel functionality does not support exporting the child templates, because Microsoft Excel does not support hierarchical data. This is a Microsoft limitation and there is no clear way how to represent our hierarchy in Excel spreadsheet. 

Best wishes,

Why wouldn't you set it up for each sheet?

i.e. master grid, sheetname default to the datamember
child template 1, sheetname default to the datamember
child template 2, sheetname etc

so in the above scenario you'd have 3 sheets, and be able to export hierarchial grid data?

Here's some code I wrote up, including the following:
  1. ExpandAllRows - Quick function to Expand/Collapse all rows
  2. getHTML - Export RadGrid to HTML (I plan on re-writing this to use the current template instead of just the parent grid for heirarchy uses)
  3. createTemplatefromMaster - Create a child template that is based on the Master Template (I use this then set the individual columns I need to modify when the data is extremely alike)
  4. ExportHierarchyGrid - Export Hierarchy Grid by making a seperate worksheet per Child Templates

The Hierarchy export comes from a code snippet I read earlier in the forum (sorry I don't have the link to give proper credit), it just creates a sheet for the parent grid, and then a sheet for each child template attached to it.

*Note the getHTML function requires you to add System.Web to the References of your project
-- Edited as we improved the code tremendously and fixed a few minor bugs

Hello Versile,

Thank you for writing.

Actually, we are considering to include exporting hierarchical data for some of the next releases and we will take your ideas into account. I have updated your Telerik points for sharing your code with us. Let me know if you have any additional questions.

Greetings,

Hi guys,

Exporting hierarchical data is not included in Q3 2010 release. We are working on this feature but I still cannot give you an exact time-frame for it.

Versile, I have added additional Telerik points for posting the updated code of your solution.

Telerik doesn't always get a chance to come back to older threads. The ExportHierarchy feature is included in the latest release:

Hello guys,

I'm exporting hierarchical grid to Excel.
The problem is that while exporting the grid is loosing the formatting of the columns.
Is there any property to set that keep format the same as grid has?
I have 50 columns with a different format .. do I have to format it twice for the grid view and for the Excel ?

Thank you ,
Victoria.
