Description

How can I intercept the Excel export of the Kendo UI Grid and add data to the exported file?

Solution

When the excelExport event is fired, access the configuration object of the Excel workbook and add rows to its sheets in the e.workbook property.

       function excelExport(e) {
        console.log(e.workbook.sheets[0].rows)
        e.workbook.sheets[0].rows.unshift(
            {
                cells: [
                    {
                        value: "Some content",
                        background: "#7a7a7a",
                        colSpan: 2,
                        color: "#fff",
                        rowSpan: 2
                    }
                ]
            } )
    }
