[Solved] Is there native export to Excel support?

[Eugene]

While browsing through the grid API documentation http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/grid#methods-saveAsExcel , I ran across the saveAsExcel function which seems to suggest that the grid natively supports excel.  My other research and the following forum thread, http://www.telerik.com/support/code-library/export-grid-to-excel-27e793e949a2, seem to suggest that there is no built in excel export and it needs to be implemented manually.  Which of the two is correctm and does the saveAsExcel method actually exist, as it seems to be undefined in the grid object despite being present in the API documentation.  

I am guessing it behaves the same way, but I am also curious about the saveAsPDF method also present in the API documentation.

Thanks a lot.

Hello Eugene,

The Export to Excel and Export to PDF features were recently introduced as part of the Kendo UI Q3 2014 Beta release and are now supported out of the box.
