[Solved] RadGrid Excel Export With Template/Link Column Not Exporting

[Rodney]

I've read a number of other threads that relate to this, but the help article link seems to be outdated. I have an  column that contains a and the text is not exporting. 

I've tried ExportOnlyData="false", but that didn't work. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="Source" UniqueName="SOURCEDESCRIPTION" ShowFilterIcon="false"
SortExpression="SourceDescription" CurrentFilterFunction="Contains" AutoPostBackOnFilter="true">
    <ItemTemplate>
        <asp:LinkButton ID="lnkSource" runat="server" CausesValidation="false" CommandName="VIEWACTIONITEM"
            CommandArgument='<%# Eval("IssueId") %>' Text='<%# Eval("SourceDescription") %>' ToolTip="View Action Item">                  </asp:LinkButton>
 </ItemTemplate>

</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

Hi,

I am not sure why you are not able to export to excel after you have set ExportOnlyData property to false. Could you confirm that you have not set this property in the code behind to true which could lead to the problem you encounter? However, I have prepared a sample test project where all export formats of the grid are working properly. Give it a try and see what is the difference in your case.
