In some cases you need that 'Export to Excel' button but there is no space for the grid, or you use a dataviewlist, or you need extra filtering compared to the screen values. In that case you can do the following. Place a datagrid where you want the Export to Excel button Add the 'Export to Excel button' Disable the search (properties) Delete the New and Edit buttons. Add a class to the grid (for example 'nogrid') Add this to a css file in the theme .default .nogrid .mendixDataGrid_tablePane { display: none; } This will result in a single button.
