Direct Export to Excel option should be available into DataGrid2 similar to Datagrid

4

As we have 'Export to excel' feature available in Datagrid to export data from Grid.

We should be having similar feature to export data from Datagrid2 as well,

So that we can export datagrid2 data to excel on single click on 'Export to Excel' instead of creating logic manually by calling JS action call in Nanoflow and then export.

Hi Azharuddin, you're absolutely right while the classic Data Grid offers built-in "Export to Excel" functionality, the newer and more flexible DataGrid2 currently lacks native support for this.

 

As of now, exporting data from DataGrid2 typically requires a custom implementation, such as:

  • Creating a Nanoflow that calls a JavaScript action

  • Manually generating and formatting the Excel file

  • Handling data access, pagination, or filtering manually

Feature Request Value:

  • A native “Export to Excel” button for DataGrid2 would align it with the classic DataGrid’s usability.

  • It would reduce custom logic, simplify development, and improve consistency across widgets.

  • Should ideally respect current filters, sorting, and visible columns in the grid,just like the default behavior in classic grids.

If you agree this should be added natively, I recommend submitting it as an official Idea on the Mendix Idea Forum, so it can be upvoted and considered by the Mendix product team.

 

Thanks!
