Grid's excel export group header functionality is not working as expected, although Excel export group footer is working as expected.

Expectation: Excel export should display the group headers/footers.

Actual result: Excel export doesn't render the group headers, with footers being displayed as expected.

How to reproduce: 

1. For the following columns and grid data, create the following group descriptors (for example) and render function to use for the group headers(footers):


const data = () => [
		{
			key: "1",
			item_one: "Item_One One",
			item_two: "Item_Two Two",
			item_three: 5,
			item_four_one: "Item_Four_One 1",
			item_four_two: "Item_Four_Two 2",
			item_four_three: "Item_Four_Three 1",
			selected: false
		},
		{
			key: "2",
			item_one: "Item_One One",
			item_two: "Item_Two Three",
			item_three: 6,
			item_four_one: "Item_Four_One 1",
			item_four_two: "Item_Four_Two 2",
			item_four_three: "Item_Four_Three 1",
			selected: false
		},
		{
			key: "3",
			item_one: "Item_One Two",
			item_two: "Item_Two Five",
			item_three: 1,
			item_four_one: "Item_Four_One 1",
			item_four_two: "Item_Four_Two 2",
			item_four_three: "Item_Four_Three 1",
			selected: false
		},
		{
			key: "4",
			item_one: "Item_One Two",
			item_two: "Item_Two Three",
			item_three: 6,
			item_four_one: "Item_Four_One 1",
			item_four_two: "Item_Four_Two 2",
			item_four_three: "Item_Four_Three 1",
			selected: false
		}
	];

	const columns = (): Column[] => [
		{
			field: "item_one",
			title: "Item One",
			filterType: "text",
		},
		{
			field: "item_two",
			title: "Item Two",
			filterType: "text",
		},
		{
			field: "item_three",
			title: "Item Three",
			filterType: "numeric",
		},
		{
			field: "item_four",
			title: "Item Four",
			children: [
				{
					field: "item_four_one",
					title: "Item Four One"
				},
				{
					field: "item_four_two",
					title: "Item Four Two",
				},
				{
					field: "item_four_three",
					title: "Item Four three",
				}
			]
		},
	];


	const groups = [
		{field: "item_one", aggregates: [{ field: "item_three", aggregate: "sum" }] },
		{field: "item_two", aggregates: [{ field: "item_three", aggregate: "sum" }] }
	];

	const groupRenderer = (aggregates, field) => {
		const aggregate = aggregates.item_three.sum;
		if (field === "item_three") {                    
			return(aggregate && <> Total Item Three: {aggregate} </>)
		}
		return null;
	}



2. map the columns into the `ExcelExportColumnProps`:


const excelReportColumns = columns.map((column) => {
		return {
			field: column.field,
			title: column.title,
			children: column.children,
			groupHeader: (props: ExcelExportGroupHeaderProps) => groupRenderer(props.aggregates, props.field),
		} as ExcelExportColumnProps;
	}


3. pass those properties in the `ExcelExport` component:


return (
		<ExcelExport
			{...restExcelExportProps}
			creator={author}
			data={process(data, { sort: sortDesc, filter: filterDesc, group: groups }).data}
			ref={excelExporter}
			columns={excelReportColumns}
			group={groups}
		>
		</ExcelExport>
	)


4. Export the Excel file and notice that it doesn't render the group headers correctly. This only works for the excel group *footers*.

Remarks:

a) This procedure produces the expected results when the mapping in step 2 (above) is the following for the groupFooters:


const excelReportColumns = columns.map((column) => {
        return {
            field: column.field,
            title: column.title,
            children: column.children,
            groupFooter: (props: ExcelExportGroupFooterProps) => groupRenderer(props.aggregates, props.field),
        } as ExcelExportColumnProps;
    }



b) The `ExcelExportColumnProps` interface has the following properties (there are 2 properties named `groupHeader`):


export interface ExcelExportColumnProps extends ColumnBase {
		/**
		 * The options of the column data cells.
		 */
		cellOptions?: CellOptions;
		/**
		 * The field to which the column is bound.
		 */
		field?: string;
		/**
		 * The options of the column footer cell.
		 */
		footerCellOptions?: CellOptions;
		/**
		 * The column footer. Can be a function or a React component.
		 */
		footer?: Function | ExcelExportFooter;
		/**
		 * The options of the column group footer cells.
		 */
		groupFooterCellOptions?: CellOptions;
		/**
		 * The header of the group. Can be a function or a React component.
		 */
		groupHeader?: Function | ExcelExportGroupHeader;
		/**
		 * The footer of the group. Can be a function or a React component.
		 */
		groupHeader?: Function | ExcelExportGroupFooter;
		/**
		 * The options of the column group header cells.
		 */
		groupHeaderCellOptions?: CellOptions;
	}


Relevant screenshots: The footers are produced correctly, but not the headers.

I have a grid where the columns don't align properly with the header of the grid and also the grid unnecessarily has a horizontal scrollbar where it's not needed.

1)How can I make the scrollbar appear when there are more columns and not when there are one or two columns?

2)How to make the alignment in sync ?

We're using KendoReact components but finding the animations distracting - how can we disable them by default?

 

In jQuery kendo there was kendo.effects.disable()

is there anything like that for KendoReact?

Hello! I am trying to add drop down support to my Kendo React Spreadsheet element. I am following this set of docs but the result does not seem to be working when tested using the most recent React component.

 

Not working example - https://codesandbox.io/s/fervent-driscoll-2mwf49?file=/app/main.tsx

Working but not using react - http://dojo.telerik.com/IgiFEwEN

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am trying to find out if it is possible to set up a pivot grid with a local dataset that give the use more control over what to pivot. Basically I'd like to get a pivot grid to work more like an excel pivot table where I have a data set and then let the use configure what columns and rows they want out of that data. All examples seem to be using hardcoded column and row axes, is it possible to set up one or two defaults but then let the end user add more rows/columns via the configurator?

Hi.

I have setup an example app with a Splitter component that devides the screen between a TreeView and a DataGrid component and setup a drag&drop scenario wher I am able to drag grid rows into the tree to add tree branches.

https://stackblitz.com/edit/vitejs-vite-k3wgr5?file=src%2FApp.tsx

If I want to use the drag handles in the Datagrid to drag a grid row onto the TreeView, the row vanishes under the left side of the Splitter window but I want to keep it visible when I drag it over the tree. I already had a similar issue a while ago and tried to use the same solution but it doesn't seem to work.

Can you help me out and show me how to keep the row visible while dragging it over the tree on the left?

Thanks,

Greetings,

Bernd

I am using a Kendo Drawer, and I am facing two issues. Firstly, when I place a

 <DrawerContent>{props.children}</DrawerContent>

component and have children inside it, the content doesn't scroll properly. Secondly, I'm unsure how to consistently display a footer on all pages when using a Kendo Drawer.

Hi Team,

Please can you explain what the difference is between `onClick` and `onClickAction` in the SchedulerEditItemProps. I read the docs and am still unclear which I should be using or when. Why are there 2 functions? What does each one achieve? Under what circumstances should I override `onClick` or`onClickAction`?

Thanks,
Grant
