I need to provide an "Export to Excel" functionality for Telerik reports for an application I am building. However, I don't see any options currently to accomplish this.
I'm planning to write my own report rendering method, but in order to do that I need a bit of starting information that I couldn't find through Google:
What do I need to do to tie my report rendering provider into Telerik's reporting controls?
How do I get started--is there a specific class structure, or perhaps some documentation on how to write your own provider that I just haven't found?
Thanks!

Hi WesleyC,
We're already working on Excel rendering engine and I hope that it will be ready for the upcoming release of the new version this September.
Telerik Reporting has extensible architecture that allows developing and adding new rendering formats easy. Nevertheless it needs some more improvement and is subject of change in the near future. That's the reason to keep it for internal use at the moment and that's why you cannot find any available information for it.
Kind regards,

Thanks for the information. For now, I suppose I can accomplish the same thing by creating a GridView with the information I need and using its export functionality. This at least will allow me to get data into Excel, though the formatting will be somewhat different.

Hi WesleyC,
Sorry for the inconvenience. Indeed, you can use the grid until we are ready with the Excel export.
All the best,

Hello Wesley,
I hope you are doing well.
It is my pleasure to let you know that we have just released Telerik Reporting Q3 2007. In this release, you will find many new features, including the one you have been asking for - Export to Excel.
The Excel Rendering Extension preserves the look and feel of the original report and gives you the opportunity to manipulate the data locally. It does not rely on the Microsoft Office engine, meaning that you do not need Microsoft Excel installed on the machine. This saves costs for new Office licenses and time-consuming installations. Exported files can be opened on the client with Microsoft Excel 97 and later.
To find out more about the new Telerik Reporting Features, please review What’s New in Telerik Reporting Q3 2007 and the Release Notes.
We will be happy to hear your feedback about the latest version of our reporting product.
Merry Xmas!

I have a report with a group and subtotals, I'd like to know if it is possible to generate an Excel file with sum cells configured with a function (eg: SUM(C1:C4)), instead of the sums being "hard-coded"...
Thanks

Hello jc mag,
Implementing Excel formulas is not a trivial task and at the moment we do not provide that functionality. But we definitely have it on our feature requests list.
