How to customize the Grid cell values while exporting in JavaScript?

1 min read

You can customize the default cell values before excel exporting the JavaScript Grid by using the “excelHeaderQueryCellInfo” and “excelQueryCellInfo” events. You can do the same for pdf export by using the “pdfHeaderQueryCellInfo” and “pdfQueryCellInfo” events.

This is demonstrated in the below sample code in which the header and content cell values are customized before exporting using the corresponding query cell info events.

JS

exportQueryCellInfo = function(args) {
  if (args.name == 'excelHeaderQueryCellInfo' || args.name =='pdfHeaderQueryCellInfo') {
    console.log(args.cell.value); // here you can get header cell value
    if (args.cell.value == 'Order ID') {
      args.cell.value = 'Changed';
    }
  }
  if (args.name == 'excelQueryCellInfo' || args.name == 'pdfQueryCellInfo') {
    console.log(args.value); // here you can get content cell value
    if (args.value == 'VINET') {
      args.value = 'Changed';
    }
  }
};
var grid = new ej.grids.Grid({
  dataSource: window.orderDatas,
  allowExcelExport: true,
  allowPdfExport: true,
  excelQueryCellInfo: exportQueryCellInfo,
  excelHeaderQueryCellInfo: exportQueryCellInfo,
  pdfQueryCellInfo: exportQueryCellInfo,
  pdfHeaderQueryCellInfo: exportQueryCellInfo,
  toolbar: ['ExcelExport', 'PdfExport', 'CsvExport'],
  columns: [
    {
      field: 'OrderID',
      headerText: 'Order ID',
      width: 120,
      textAlign: 'Right',
    },
    { field: 'CustomerID', headerText: 'Customer ID', width: 150 },
    {
      field: 'OrderDate',
      headerText: 'Order Date',
      width: 130,
      format: 'yMd',
      textAlign: 'Right',
    },
    { field: 'Freight', width: 120, format: 'C2', textAlign: 'Right' },
  ],
});
grid.appendTo('#Grid');
grid.toolbarClick = function(args) {
  if (args.item.id === 'Grid_pdfexport') {
    grid.pdfExport();
  }
  if (args.item.id === 'Grid_excelexport') {
    grid.excelExport();
  }
  if (args.item.id === 'Grid_csvexport') {
    grid.csvExport();
  }
};
