Show or hide columns on exported excel

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

In the toolbarClick event, based on args.item.text as Excel Export. 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 Duration as a hidden column in the treegrid. While exporting, we have changed Duration to visible column and StartDate as hidden column.
