Hi there,

I have found a problem exporting from RadGridView with individual precision for each column. My .dll does not support ExportToXlsx method. I use Export(Stream stream, GridViewExportOptions options) method.

There is definitely an option to set precision for number columns but only the same for all of them thru GridViewElementExportingEventArgs.

I can definitely make my export done by exporting the data from binding sources but there is one exception for aggregate functions results which are located at GridViewColumn footer in fact but at runtime cannot be obtained because Footer property of particular column is null and which are computed at your side code.

So I need know either how to set precision on columns individual according to some input thru Export(Stream stream, GridViewExportOptions options) method or how to obtain the string representation of aggregate functions located in column footer.

I definitely can compute aggregate function result separately but I really do not want to.

Thank you very much.

Hello Jiri,

If I understood your requirements correctly, you can handle RadGridView's ElementExporting event and modify the exported values accordingly. Here's what I have in mind:

private void ClubsGrid_ElementExporting(object sender, GridViewElementExportingEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Element == ExportElement.Cell)
    {
        var column = e.Context as Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridViewColumn;
        if (column.UniqueName == "StadiumCapacity")
        {
            e.Value = string.Format("{0:F2}", e.Value); // make necessary changes
        }
    }
}

Please let me know whether such an approach would work for you.

That is exactly what I was searching for. Maybe I would be able to find this solution If I ever knew that GridViewElementExportingEventArgs.Context holds GridViewColumn.
