Telerik Reporting and export to excel

[Kartik Ganesan]

Hi,

We are using radgrid to display search results.
Now the client wants it to export to excel at the same time include their logo and some additional information at the top of the report.
We tried export to excel (ML) in RadGrid, we would be able to add addition information at the top by interception the export but it would never include the logo(known issue as Excel ML does not support images). We were thinking if we can use Telerik Reporting just for exporting the search results to an excel.We not not like to display the report to the user in this.

Is there a sample that anyone can refer me to?

Thanks

Kartik

Hi Kartik,

Yes, you can but this cannot happen out of the box. You would have to build a Telerik Report with the layout you require and then bind it to data according to the search results you would like to print.

All the best,

Hello Kartik Ganesan,

There is no sample because this is a very specific scenario that should be handled on per user basis i.e. it is up to you depending on your exact case. Review the following help articles to get started with our Reporting product and see what would fit you best:
