Excel Export
The Spreadsheet utilizes the Excel export module framework to produce Excel files directly in the browser.
The output files are in the OOXML Spreadsheet format with an .xlsx extension. The legacy .xls binary format is not supported.
User Interface
The default toolbar configuration includes an Export button. Clicking it opens a dialog box for entering the file name and selecting the desired output format for the exported document.

API Export Reference
The Spreadsheet client-side API includes the saveAsExcel method for initiating the export via JavaScript. This method does not ask you to specify a file name. Instead, it sets the value in excel.fileName.
Known Issues
Currently, the export module does not handle sorting and filtering. This limitation will be addressed before the component goes out of its Beta version.
