# Export the Grid to Excel after Confirmation

## Environment

<table>
 <tr>
  <td>Product</td>
  <td>Progress® Kendo UI® Grid for JSP</td>
 </tr>
 <tr>
  <td>Operating System</td>
  <td>Windows 8 64bit</td>
 </tr>
 <tr>
  <td>Browser</td>
  <td>IE</td>
 </tr>
 <tr>
  <td>Browser Version</td>
  <td>11</td>
 </tr>
</table>

## Description

How can I implement a custom **Yes** or **No** confirmation message to the user on clicking the **Export to Excel** button where **Yes** exports the Grid and **No** cancels the task?

## Suggested Workarounds

The Kendo UI Grid does not provide a built-in solution for achieving this behavior. However, you can still work around the issue.

Apply custom logic on the `excelExport` event of the Grid. For more information, refer to:

* <https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/ui/grid/methods/saveasexcel>

[This Dojo example](https://dojo.telerik.com/eWogO) demonstrates the full implementation of the scenario. The used approach exports the file when the user confirms the action and prevents the default behavior when the user clicks **Cancel**.
