I have a Kendo grid that uses Export-to-excel and Export-to-pdf.

One particular column consists of data with padded zeros (so that column sorting works). Then, this column uses a template to display the data without the padded zeros (a business requirement). This is perfect for the grid.

Now, the export functions do not export the template, they export the underlying data (this is documented in the Known Limitations). So my exports show the data with padded-zeros. But... I need to show the data without padded zeros. So I have been looking for a workaround.

Workaround attempt A)
I created two columns padded and non-padded. The idea was this:
Column i/ Data = padded; Grid view = non-padded; do not export.
Column ii/ Data = non-padded; Grid view = hidden; export.

However, this doesn't work for two reasons. 
Column i/ columns: exportable: { pdf: false, excel: false } doesn't actually seem to work(!!!)
Column ii/ This isn't legal anyway. If you hide the data in the grid you can't export it anyway.

Workaround attempt B)
In the excelExport() function I did this:

      excelExport: function (e) {
        for (var j = 0; j < e.data.length; j++) {
e.data[j].padded_column = e.data[j].non-padded_column;
        }
      },

In the console this appears to work fine, that is I replace the value of the padded column with the data of the non-padded column. However, it makes no difference to what appears on the spreadsheet. My guess is that this is because the spreadsheet has already been generated before excelExport() modifies the data.

So, I need a new approach. Can anybody help?

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

For further reference, here is the code for the column:

      columns: [{
          field: 'sys_id_sorted', 
          title: 'File ref',
          hidden: false,
          template: function (dataItem) {
            var ctyClass = '';
            switch (dataItem.cty_id) {
              case '1':
                ctyClass = 'CHAP';
                break;
              case '2':
                ctyClass = 'EU-PILOT';
                break;
              case '3':
                ctyClass = 'NIF';
                break;
              case '4':
                ctyClass = 'OTHER';
                break;
              default:
                ctyClass = 'default';
                break;
            }
            return '<div class="label label-' + ctyClass + ' origin">' + dataItem.sys_id + '</div>';
          }
        },

'sys_id_sorted' is the field that has padded zeros.
'dataItem.sys_id' is the field with no padded zeros.

I have implemented a grid with inline editing, which has a dropdown in one of its columns. The problem is, everytime I am trying to save a change I made, I get the following TypeError and I think it is the dropdown which causes this:

kendo.all.js:6412 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'data')
    at init.setup (VM13051 kendo.all.min.js:formatted:4953)
    at init.update (VM13051 kendo.all.min.js:formatted:4946)
    at Object.<anonymous> (VM13051 kendo.all.min.js:formatted:5531)

    at init._editUpdateClick (VM13051 kendo.all.min.js:formatted:48689)
    at HTMLAnchorElement.proxy (VM12816 AJS097.P:65)

Here is the implementation of the grid (I tried to keep it as simple as I could, by removing anything that might be unnecessary for this problem):

jq(document).ready(function() { var copyBool = false grid_counter = 0; jq("#inline_grid").kendoGrid({ autoBind: true, dataSource: { transport: { read: { url: "GetJsonData_Grid.p", dataType: "json", data:{ "function": "testfunction", "element": "grid", "param1": "testparam1", "param2": "", "param3": "", "rowid": $("rowid").value } } }, schema: { data: "data", total: "recordsCount", model: { id: "field1", fields: { field1: { type: "string", validation: { required: true, maxlength: "3", field1validation: function(input) { var grid_length = jq("#inline_grid").data("kendoGrid").dataSource.data().length + 1; if(input.is("[name='field1']") && input.val() == "0") { input.attr("data-field1validation-msg","the number must be greater than 0"); returnfalse; } elseif(input.is("[name='field1']") && input.val() == "") { input.attr("data-field1validation-msg","the number must not be empty"); returnfalse; } elseif(input.is("[name='field1']") && (input.val() < "0" || input.val() > "99999999")) { input.attr("data-field1validation-msg","the input is invalid"); input.val(grid_length); returnfalse; } returntrue; } } }, field2: { type: "string", validation: { required: false }}, field3: { type: "string", validation: { required: false }}, field4: { type: "string", validation: { required: false }}, field5: { type: "string", validation: { required: false }}, field6: { type: "string", validation: { required: false }} } } }, pageSize: 15 }, toolbar: [ { name: "create", text: "Add", iconClass: "" }, ], dataBound: function(e) { if(grid_counter == 0) { this.select("tr:eq(0)"); grid_counter++; } }, selectable: true, change: function(e) { var selectedRows = this.select(), dataItem = this.dataItem(selectedRows[0]); ... }, sortable: false, scrollable: { virtual: true }, persistSelection: true, columns: [ { field: "field1", title: "nr", width: "30px", attributes: {style: "text-align:left;"}, headerAttributes: {style: "text-align:left;"}, editor: textEditor }, { field: "field2", title: "active", width: "20px", attributes: {style: "text-align:left;"}, headerAttributes: {style: "text-align:left;"}, editor: cbEditor }, { field: "field3", title: "art", width: "100px",attributes: {style: "text-align:left;"}, headerAttributes: {style: "text-align:left;"}, editor: ddlEditor }, { field: "field4", title: "description", width: "100px",attributes: {style: "text-align:left;"}, headerAttributes: {style: "text-align:left;"}, editor: textEditor }, { field: "field5", title: "comment", width: "100px",attributes: {style: "text-align:left;"}, headerAttributes: {style: "text-align:left;"}, editor: textEditor }, { field: "field6", title: "processed", width: "60px", attributes: {style: "text-align:left;"}, headerAttributes: {style: "text-align:left;"}, editor: cbEditor }, { command: [ { name: "edit", text: { edit: " ", update: "Save", cancel: " "} }, { name: "copy", text: " ", iconClass: "k-icon k-i-copy", click: function(e) { e.preventDefault(); var data = this.dataItem(jq(e.target).closest("tr")); field1 = data.field1; field2 = data.field2; field3 = data.field3; field4 = data.field4; field5 = data.field5; field6 = data.field6; copyBool = true; jq("#inline_grid").data("kendoGrid").addRow(); } }, { name: "destroy", text: " ", iconClass: "k-icon k-i-delete" }, ], title: "&nbsp;", width: "60px", attributes: {style: "text-align:right;"} } ], noRecords: true, pageable: { previousNext: false, numeric: false, alwaysVisible: true, pageSizes: [5,10,15] }, editable: { mode: "inline", createAt: "bottom" }, edit: function(e) { var model = e.model, container = e.container, nummer = parseInt(jq("#inline_grid").data("kendoGrid")._data[jq("#inline_grid").data("kendoGrid")._data.length - 2].field1) + 1; jq("#inline_grid tbody").find("tr.k-state-selected").removeClass("k-state-selected k-state-selecting"); /* field1 */if(e.model.isNew() && !e.model.dirty) { e.container .find("input[name=field1]") .val(nummer) .change(); } if(copyBool) { e.model.set("field2", field2); e.model.set("field3", field3); e.model.set("field4", field4); e.model.set("field5", field5); e.model.set("field6", field6); copyBool = false; }

Any idea what might be causing the typeError?

 

Thanks in advance,

Hi Team,

This dojo to illustrate the problem: https://dojo.telerik.com/iNIsiHig

When using jquery 3.6.0, the window does not get focus. Using any previous jquery like 3.5.1 or 1.12.4 makes it work.

Please advise.

 

Best regards,

Laurent.

Is it possible instead of uploading files can I choose a file from the file explorer window and upload a hyperlink which has the file path to that file from a shared server.

Hi Team,

is there a way we can open the table wizard popup as a slider instead of a popup? currently as it attaches to the body itself, there is no way to even do it using JQuery or CSS post render.

I am currently working with the Pivot Grid; its quite nice. I have noticed though that if the Column is removed, the grid itself still retains data and formatting unique to that column. Using the demo as an example:
https://demos.telerik.com/jsp-ui/pivotgrid/index

The default columns are:

[Date].[Calendar] and [Product].[Category]

The default measure is:

[Measures].[Reseller Freight Cost]

If you remove all three of the above, both column fields and the measure, the resulting PivotGrid will still reflect a financial amount even though only a Row is populated with a Field.

See screen shot:

This is confusing to me and my users; why is it working this way? Is it possible to change this behavior?

I am trying to find a way to scroll to a specific row while using virtual scrolling but my solution has not been consistent. Here is the function that is being called each time I want to select a specific row:

function selectGridRow(grid_element,grid_value,grid_field) {
	var dataSource = grid_element.dataSource,
            filters    = dataSource.filter() || {},
	    sort       = dataSource.sort() || {},
	    models     = dataSource.data();
		
	var query         = new kendo.data.Query(models),
            rowNum        = 0,
	    modelToSelect = null;
	
	models = query.filter(filters).sort(sort).data;
	
	// Item Position
	for (var i = 0; i < models.length; ++i) {
		var model = models[i];
		if (model[grid_field] == grid_value) {
			modelToSelect = model;
			rowNum = i;
			break;
		}
	}
	
	grid_element._selectedIds = {}; 
	
        // Change to the page where the row is and select it
	var currentPageSize = grid_element.dataSource.pageSize(),
	    pageWithRow     = parseInt((rowNum / currentPageSize)) + 1; 
	
	grid_element.dataSource.page(pageWithRow);
	
	var row = grid_element.element.find("tr[data-uid='" + modelToSelect.uid + "']");
	
	if (row.length > 0) {
	   grid_element.select(row);
	   grid_element.content.scrollTop(grid_element.select().position().top);  
        }
}

While the above function sometimes works fine, finds the row and also scrolls to it, other times this fails. For example, when a row at the very top is selected and I am trying to select a row at the very bottom, I can see grid changing page but the row is not getting selected.

Is there anything I am missing here?

I have a grid that I'm filling with the results of a REST API call. The grid should have a dynamic button that renders based on the status in the results.

The API is actually sending a valid link so but when I try to display the result in a column it renders as text is there a trick to this?

Example result that is not rendering as a button just as text. For the field

Properties.AppointRetire

<a href="/Governance/Forms/Staff/Retire.aspx?ID=9526295&OfficeHolderID=9526744&SEQN=170" class="TextButton">Retire</a>"

 

CODE:


function fillgrid(parsedPayload) {

          $("#grid").kendoGrid({
dataSource: {
              data: parsedPayload,
              pageSize: 15,
            },
            columns: [
              { field:"Properties.DivisionBranch", title: "Division - Branch", width: 300  },
              { field:"Properties.FirstName", title: "First Name", width: 200  },
              { field: "Properties.LastName", title: "Last Name", width: 200  },
              { field: "Properties.Appointed", title: "Appointed", type: "date", format: "{0:dd/MM/yyyy}" },
              { field: "Properties.GoverningCommittee", title: "Governing Committee", width: 300 },
              { field: "Properties.Office", title: "Office", width: 200  },
              { field: "Properties.Occupation", title: "Occupation", width: 200  },
              { field: "Properties.Status", title: "Office <br />Status", filterable:false, width:80  },
              { field: "Properties.AppointRetire", title: " ", filterable:false, width:100  }
            ],
            filterable: {
              mode: "row",
              operators: {
                       string: {
                            contains: "Contains"
                               }
                             }
            }, 
            toolbar: ["excel", "pdf", "search"],
           excel: {
                filterable: false
            },
            sortable: true,
            pageable: {
                        pageSizes: [10, 20, 50, "all"],
                        buttonCount: 15
           }
          });
        
 }
