            }
        },
        schema: {
            type: "xmla"
        }
    }
});
</script>

excel.forceProxy Boolean (default: false)

If set to true, the content will be forwarded to proxyURL even if the browser supports saving files locally.

excel.proxyURL String (default: null)

The URL of the server side proxy which will stream the file to the end user.

Such browsers are IE version 9 and lower and Safari.

The developer is responsible for implementing the server-side proxy.

The proxy will receive a POST request with the following parameters in the request body:

  • contentType: The MIME type of the file
  • base64: The base-64 encoded file content
  • fileName: The file name, as requested by the caller.

The proxy should return the decoded file with the "Content-Disposition" header set to attachment; filename="<fileName.xslx>".

Example - set the server proxy URL

<div id="pivotgrid"></div>
<script>
$("#pivotgrid").kendoPivotGrid({
    excel: {
        proxyURL: "/save"
    },
    height: 550,
    dataSource: {
        type: "xmla",
        columns: [{ name: "[Date].[Calendar]", expand: true }, { name: "[Geography].[City]" } ],
        rows: [{ name: "[Product].[Product]" }],
        measures: ["[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]"],
        transport: {
            connection: {
                catalog: "Adventure Works DW 2008R2",
                cube: "Adventure Works"
            },
            read: {
                url: "https://demos.telerik.com/olap/msmdpump.dll",
                dataType: "text",
                contentType: "text/xml",
                type: "POST"
            }
        },
        schema: {
            type: "xmla"
        }
    }
});
</script>
