The following instructions show how to enable and configure client-side export:

  1. Install or reference the required libraries
    This feature requires ExcelJS v4+ and FileSaver v2.0.2+. If you apply CSP rules, refer to the ExcelJS CSP Treats section to read more about potential vulnerabilities.

}

    npm install --save exceljs file-saver
    React
    npm install --save exceljs file-saver

  2. Enable the export UI
    Set the export.enabled property to true:

    jQuery
    JavaScript
    $(function () {
    $("#pivotGridContainer").dxPivotGrid({
        export: {
            enabled: true
        }
    });
});
    Angular
    app.component.html
    app.component.ts
    app.module.ts
    <dx-pivot-grid ... >
    <dxo-export [enabled]="true"></dxo-export>
</dx-pivot-grid>
    import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
    selector: 'app-root',
    templateUrl: './app.component.html',
    styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {
    // ...
}
    import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

import { DxPivotGridModule } from 'devextreme-angular';

@NgModule({
    declarations: [
        AppComponent
    ],
    imports: [
        BrowserModule,
        DxPivotGridModule
    ],
    providers: [ ],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }
    Vue
    App.vue
    <template>
    <DxPivotGrid ... >
        <DxExport
            :enabled="true"
        />
    </DxPivotGrid>
</template>

<script>
import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.light.css';

import { DxPivotGrid, 
    DxExport,
    DxColumn
} from 'devextreme-vue/pivot-grid';

export default {
    components: {
        DxPivotGrid,
        DxExport,
        DxColumn
    }
}
</script>
    React
    App.js
    import React from 'react';
import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.light.css';

import PivotGrid, {
    Export,
    Column
} from 'devextreme-react/pivot-grid';

export default function App() {
    return (
        <PivotGrid ... >
            <Export enabled={true} />
        </PivotGrid>
    );
}

  3. Export the PivotGrid
    Implement the onExporting handler and call the exportPivotGrid(options) method in it. In the code below, this method exports the PivotGrid as is, but you can use ExcelExportPivotGridProps to configure export settings, including cell customization. The PivotGrid is exported to an Excel worksheet that is created using the ExcelJS API. To save the Excel document, call the FileSaver's saveAs method.

    jQuery
    index.js
    $('#gridContainer').dxPivotGrid({
    export: {
        enabled: true
    },
    onExporting: function(e) { 
        var workbook = new ExcelJS.Workbook(); 
        var worksheet = workbook.addWorksheet('Main sheet'); 
        DevExpress.excelExporter.exportPivotGrid({ 
            worksheet: worksheet, 
            component: e.component,
            customizeCell: function(options) {
                var excelCell = options;
                excelCell.font = { name: 'Arial', size: 12 };
                excelCell.alignment = { horizontal: 'left' };
            } 
        }).then(function() {
            workbook.xlsx.writeBuffer().then(function(buffer) { 
                saveAs(new Blob([buffer], { type: 'application/octet-stream' }), 'PivotGrid.xlsx'); 
            }); 
        });  
    }
});
    Angular
    app.component.html
    app.component.ts
    app.module.ts
    <dx-pivot-grid ...
    (onExporting)="onExporting($event)">

            } 
        }).then(function() {
            workbook.xlsx.writeBuffer()
                .then(function(buffer: BlobPart) {
                    saveAs(new Blob([buffer], { type: 'application/octet-stream' }), 'PivotGrid.xlsx');

The following restrictions apply when users export PivotGrid:

  • Only XLSX files are supported out of the box. To export PivotGrid to CSV, call the exportPivotGrid(options) method as shown in the following ticket: Export PivotGrid into CSV file.
  • Only visible rows and columns are exported.
