Description
How can I show some of the hidden columns of the Grid in the exported Excel file?
Solution
Use the hideColumn or showColumn methods to change the visibility of the columns before and after the export and utilize the excelExport event.
The following code snippet demonstrates the implementation of the suggested approach.
var exportFlag = false;
$("#grid").data("kendoGrid").bind("excelExport", function (e) {
if (!exportFlag) {
e.sender.hideColumn(1);
e.preventDefault();
exportFlag = true;
setTimeout(function () {
e.sender.saveAsExcel();
});
} else {
e.sender.showColumn(1);
exportFlag = false;
}
});
