Excel export and special characters (umlaut)

[Klaus HParticipant]

Hi,

I experienced a problem with your export functionality. When I export data as excel file, special characters like umlauts are not encoded. That resulted in an error message, when I wanted to open the exported file. I could help myself with a workaround by replacing those characters on the server side script. Would it be possible for you to fix this while creating the file?

Kind Regards
Klaus

Hi Klaus,

It is most likely that the problem is in the character set which could be added as a last parameter of the ‘exportdata’ method.
For more information please take a look at the jqxGrid’s documentation and especially at the proposed method.

Best Wishes,
Mariya

Hello Mariya,

thank you, that works, but in the API there is no mention of said parameter, the url to the server is mentioned as the “last parameter”.

Kind Regards
Klaus
