Solution description

To export the Grids' data we need the following imports:

• saveAs method available in the @progress/kendo-file-saver package
• workbookOptions and toDataURL methods available in the @progress/kendo-vue-excel-export package

To export the data of the Grids we call the following method and pass to it the data and the columns definitions of the first Grid:

Copy CodeexportExcel() {
  this.customSaveExcel({
    data: this.categories,
    fileName: 'myFile',
    columns: this.columns,
  });
},

The above calls the the customSaveExcel method in which we have these lines:

Copy Codeconst options = workbookOptions(exportOptions);
const rows = options.sheets[0].rows;

The rows variable is an array that holds the data of the first Grid in a format that can be exported to Excel. To add the records of the second Grid to the exported Excel, we need to manually insert its data in the rows array. The first push below adds the header of the second Grid and the forEach loop adds its data.

Copy Coderows.push({
  cells: [
    Object.assign({}, headerOptions, { value: 'ID' }),
    Object.assign({}, headerOptions, { value: 'Name' }),
    Object.assign({}, headerOptions, { value: 'First Ordered' }),
    Object.assign({}, headerOptions, { value: 'Units' }),
    Object.assign({}, headerOptions, { value: 'Discontinued' }),
  ],
});
this.grid2Data.forEach((category) => {
  rows.push({
    cells: [
      { value: category.ProductID },
      { value: category.ProductName },
      { value: category.FirstOrderedOn },
      { value: category.UnitsInStock },
      { value: category.Discontinued },
    ],
  });
});

The actual export of the Grids' data is done by this line:

Copy CodetoDataURL(options).then(saveFn);
