Issue with exporting filtered radGrid

[Denis]

I have a grid with filtering, sorting, paging enabled.  I added Excel export to it as well.  Once data is loaded, Excel export works like a charm, however, I have an issue with exporting filtered grid. I apply a filter to column, then when I click Export button, CommandRow disappears, all the filter controls disappear, and that's it, no export.

 

My grid

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGridOpenCases"
                    runat="server"
                    AutoGenerateColumns="False"
                    DataSourceID="odsOpenCases"
                    AllowPaging="True"
                    PageSize="10"
                    AllowSorting="True"
                    AllowFilteringByColumn="true"
                    Skin="Bootstrap">

                    <ExportSettings ExportOnlyData="true" IgnorePaging="true"></ExportSettings>

                    <MasterTableView CellSpacing="-1"
                        DataKeyNames="CaseID"
                        DataSourceID="odsOpenCases"
                        EnableNoRecordsTemplate="True"
                        AllowFilteringByColumn="True"
                        CommandItemDisplay="Top">

                        <CommandItemSettings ShowExportToExcelButton="true" ShowAddNewRecordButton="false" ShowRefreshButton="false" />

                        <Columns>
                            <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="casenumber" HeaderText="Case #" SortExpression="casenumber" UniqueName="casenumber" ItemStyle-Wrap="false" AutoPostBackOnFilter="true" ShowFilterIcon="false" />
                            <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="subject" HeaderText="Case Name" SortExpression="subject" UniqueName="subject" AutoPostBackOnFilter="true" ShowFilterIcon="false" />

                            <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="subdivisiondesc" HeaderText="Type" SortExpression="subdivisiondesc" UniqueName="subdivisiondesc" AutoPostBackOnFilter="true" ShowFilterIcon="false" />
                            <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="categorydesc" HeaderText="Category" SortExpression="categorydesc" UniqueName="categorydesc" AutoPostBackOnFilter="true" ShowFilterIcon="false" />
                            <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="subcategorydesc" HeaderText="SubCategory" SortExpression="subcategorydesc" UniqueName="subcategorydesc" AutoPostBackOnFilter="true" ShowFilterIcon="false" />

                        </Columns>

                        <NoRecordsTemplate>
                            <p style="padding: 20px;">No cases to display</p>
                        </NoRecordsTemplate>
                    </MasterTableView>

                    <GroupingSettings CaseSensitive="false" />

                    <ClientSettings EnableRowHoverStyle="true"
                        EnablePostBackOnRowClick="true">
                        <Selecting AllowRowSelect="True" />
                    </ClientSettings>

                </telerik:RadGrid>

My code-behind

Protected Sub RadGridOpenCases_ItemCommand(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridCommandEventArgs) Handles RadGridOpenCases.ItemCommand
    If e.CommandName = RadGrid.ExportToExcelCommandName Then
        RadGridOpenCases.ExportSettings.Excel.Format = GridExcelExportFormat.Biff
        RadGridOpenCases.ExportSettings.IgnorePaging = True
        RadGridOpenCases.ExportSettings.ExportOnlyData = True
        RadGridOpenCases.ExportSettings.OpenInNewWindow = True
        RadGridOpenCases.ExportSettings.FileName = "Dashboard"
    End If
End Sub

Hi Denis,

Currently, the filtering export is supported only when GridExcelExportFormat is ExcelML, thus I will advise that you consider switching to it in order to utilize this functionality:

My grid was inside of an asp:UpdatePanel.  Once I removed that, filtered export started working.

Hi,

Thank you for the update, Denis - I am glad you have managed to find the root of the problem. Hopefully this information will be helpful for the other developers in our community facing the same problem.

Kind regards,
