Hello everyone, I'm encountering some issues when I tried to export excel from Grid. I added three GridTemplateColumn which contained buttons in those template columns. The Export To Excel button is added with Telerik RadButton separately because of user requirement. When I clicked the export to excel button, the button inside of the GridTemplateColumn becomes null value. Can someone help me how to solve it?

The following code is my Telerik Grid

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGridSalesOrder" runat="server" Width="100%" Height="600px"

OnNeedDataSource="RadGridSalesOrder_NeedDataSource" OnItemDataBound="RadGridSalesOrder_ItemDataBound"

Hi Nelson,

Here are some suggestions that may help you resolve the issue:

1. This probably happens because the controls are not generated during the exporting action. You can manually try to add the text during exporting as demonstrated in this section:
https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/grid/functionality/exporting/overview#export-template-columns

2. You can also try enabling the following property:

        <telerik:RadGrid ... >
            <ExportSettings IgnorePaging="true">
            </ExportSettings>
        </telerik:RadGrid>

3. You can wrap the btnApprove logic inside an if statement as follows:

if (!RadGrid1.IsExporting){ ... }

I hope this will prove helpful.

Regards,
Eyup
