Show or Hide columns on Exported Excel

You can show a hidden column or hide a visible column while printing the grid using toolbarClick and excelExportComplete events.

In the toolbarClick event, based on args.item.id as Grid_excelexport. We can show or hide columns by setting column.visible property to true or false respectively.

In the excelExportComplete event, We have reversed the state back to the previous state.

In the below example, we have CustomerID as a hidden column in the grid. While exporting, we have changed CustomerID to visible column and ShipCity as hidden column.

Conditional Cell Formatting

Grid cells in the exported Excel can be customized or formatted using excelQueryCellInfo event. In this event, we can format the grid cells of exported PDF document based on the column cell value.

In the below sample, we have set the background color for Freight column in the exported excel by args.cell and backColor property.

Limitations

Microsoft Excel permits up to seven nested levels in outlines. So that in the grid we can able to provide only up to seven nested levels and if it exceeds more than seven levels then the document will be exported without outline option. Please refer the Microsoft Limitation

Exporting Grid in server

The Grid have an option to export the data to Excel in server side using Grid server export library.

Server Dependencies

The Server side export functionality is shipped in the Syncfusion.EJ2.GridExport package, which is available in Essential Studio and nuget.org.The following list of dependencies is required for Grid server side Excel exporting action.

Syncfusion.EJ2
Syncfusion.EJ2.GridExport

Server Configuration

The following code snippet shows server configuration using ASP.NET Core Controller Action.

To Export the Grid in server side, You need to call the serverExcelExport method for passing the Grid properties to server exporting action.

    public ActionResult ExcelExport([FromForm] string gridModel)
    {
        GridExcelExport exp = new GridExcelExport();
        Grid gridProperty = ConvertGridObject(gridModel);
        return exp.ExcelExport<OrdersDetails>(gridProperty, orddata);
    }

    private Grid ConvertGridObject(string gridProperty)
    {
       Grid GridModel = (Grid)Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(gridProperty, typeof(Grid));
       GridColumnModel cols = (GridColumnModel)Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(gridProperty, typeof(GridColumnModel));
       GridModel.Columns = cols.columns;
       return GridModel;
    }

    public class GridColumnModel
    {
        public List<GridColumn> columns { get; set; }
    }
        public IActionResult UrlDatasource([FromBody]DataManagerRequest dm)
        {

CSV Export in server side

You can export the Grid to CSV format by using the serverCsvExport method which will pass the Grid properties to server.

In the below demo, we have invoked the above method inside the toolbarClick event. In server side, we have deserialized the Grid properties and passed to the CsvExport method which will export the properties to CSV format.

    public ActionResult CsvGridExport([FromForm] string gridModel)
    {
        GridExcelExport exp = new GridExcelExport();
        Grid gridProperty = ConvertGridObject(gridModel);
        return exp.CsvExport<OrdersDetails>(gridProperty, orddata);
    }

    private Grid ConvertGridObject(string gridProperty)
    {
       Grid GridModel = (Grid)Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(gridProperty, typeof(Grid));
       GridColumnModel cols = (GridColumnModel)Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(gridProperty, typeof(GridColumnModel));
       GridModel.Columns = cols.columns;
       return GridModel;
    }

        public IActionResult UrlDatasource([FromBody]DataManagerRequest dm)
        {
            IEnumerable DataSource = OrdersDetails.GetAllRecords();
            DataOperations operation = new DataOperations();
            int count = DataSource.Cast<OrdersDetails>().Count();
            return dm.RequiresCounts ? Json(new { result = DataSource, count = count }) : Json(DataSource);
        }

import { Component, OnInit, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
