# Vue Excel Export Overview

The Kendo UI for Vue `saveExcel` method allows you to export and save data to Excel files, to customize the output cells and columns, and to filter the data after the export.

The `saveExcel` method is part of the Kendo UI for Vue library. It is distributed through NPM under the [kendo-vue-excel-export package](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@progress/kendo-vue-excel-export).

      npm install --save @progress/kendo-vue-excel-export @progress/kendo-licensing
   ```

2. Once installed, import the method.

   ```jsx
   // ES2015 module syntax
   import { saveAs } from '@progress/kendo-file-saver';
   ```

   ```jsx
   // CommonJS format
   const { saveAs } = require('@progress/kendo-vue-excel-export');
   ```

3. Follow the instructions on the Kendo UI for Vue [Activate License Key page](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui-develop/components/my-license) to activate your license. You can skip this step if your application already contains a Kendo UI for Vue license file.

## Known Limitations

* Older browsers, such as Internet Explorer 9 and Safari, require you to implement a server proxy. For more information, refer to the section on the [`proxyUrl`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui-develop/components/excel-export/api/excelexportoptions#proxyurl) configuration.
* The maximum size of the exported file has a system-specific limit. For large data sets, we recommend using a server-side solution
