Working with the Core grid I noticed that the excel export autowidth is not working for date columns. Every other column is working but not dates. Here is my function for the export...

function gridReport_ExcelExport(e) {

var sheet = e.workbook.sheets[0];

for (var rowIndex = 0; rowIndex < sheet.rows.length; rowIndex++) {

var row = sheet.rows[rowIndex];

var expandRow = false;

for (var cellIndex = 0; cellIndex < row.cells.length; cellIndex++) {

var cell = row.cells[cellIndex];

if (rowIndex > 0)

cell.vAlign = "top";

if (cell.value && cell.value.toString().indexOf("<br />") >= 0) {

cell.value = cell.value.replace("<br />", "\n");

cell.wrap = true;

expandRow = true;

}

if (rowIndex > 0)

sheet.rows[rowIndex].height = 50;

}

for (var colIndex = 0; colIndex < sheet.columns.length; colIndex++) {

var column = sheet.columns[colIndex];

delete column.width;

column.autoWidth = true;

}

I found a kendo dojo and was able to duplicate the issue there also. (http://dojo.telerik.com/oGafisuF) I modified it as this...

<body>

<div id="grid"></div>

<script>

var dt = new Date();

$("#grid").kendoGrid({

dataSource: [

{ foo: "foo", bar: "bar", somedate: dt }

],

toolbar:["excel"],

columns: [

{ field: "foo", width: "100px"},

{ field: "bar", width: "200px"},

{ field: "somedate", width: "100px", template: "#= kendo.toString(kendo.parseDate(somedate, 'yyyy-MM-dd'), 'MM/dd/yyyy') #"}

],

excelExport: function(e) {

var sheet = e.workbook.sheets[0];

for (var i = 0; i < sheet.columns.length; i++) {

delete sheet.columns[i].width;

sheet.columns[i].autoWidth = true;

}

});

</script>
