Currently, the empty cells in the exported Excel file contain zero-length strings. As a result, the ISBLANK() function returns false for them while the cells essentially do not have content.
Please allow the empty Grid cells to be treated as blank in the exported Excel file.

ADMIN EDIT
===
For the time being, you may extend the formula to also check whether the length of the cell content is 0. For that purpose, you may use the LEN() function as suggested here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/troubleshoot/excel/isblank-function-return-false#workaround.
Here is a runnable REPL test page. A possible workaround is to render the Grid only if it has columns:
@{
if (GridColumns.Count() > 0)
{
<TelerikGrid Data="@Data">
<GridColumns>
@foreach (var column in GridColumns)
{
<GridColumn Field="@column.DataField"
ShowColumnMenu="false" Title="@column.DisplayName" Resizable="true" Width="500px">
<FooterTemplate>
foo
</FooterTemplate>
</GridColumn>
}
</GridColumns>
</TelerikGrid>
}
}
Scenario #1
I want my users to confirm the update of a cell value with the built-in Confirmation Dialog for Blazor. If I use the keyboard (Enter, Tab) to close the edit the Confirmation dialog will popup, but after closing it the Grid hangs.
Scenario #2
If I edit a cell and press enter very quickly, the grid is not able to get the new value inserted after confirming it through the dialog.
Scenario #3
If you press Enter very quickly to confirm the value for deletion, the value is not always removed.
Are there any plans to have the datagrid be both groupable and draggable?
Thanks,
Andy
Hello
What is the purpose of this (https://docs.telerik.com/blazor-ui/components/grid/selection/overview#row-drag-and-drop);
If the user drags selected rows, the current row selection will be cleared on row drop.
Is this a bug? As when you select multiple rows, then drag and drop the rows, it clears the bound selectedItems object (but the rows still remain ticked in the UI). Just confirming this is something that will be fixed?
Cheers
Phil
I am binding a Grid to a collection of ExpandoObjects. In the collection, there are decimal values. When I try to add Aggregates for the decimal values the Grid throws an exception.
<AdminEdit>
As a workaround, you can cast the decimal values to double instead.

Hello,
I'm having issues trying to figure out how to change values (from the model) when I'm Incell Mode without triggers the OnRead events after. The actual code is working great since I was able to remove the Incell mode on the OnChangeModel event below, but OnRead is keeps call after (which I didn't need and slow user experience)
Is there a way to cancel the OnRead ?
<TelerikGrid OnRead="ReadItems" EditMode="GridEditMode.Incell"
@ref="@GridRef">
<GridColumns>
<GridEditDropDownColumn Field="Test1" Data="@Eval?.ListEvaluationTypes" Title="Title" Width="130px" OnChange="OnChangeModel" />
</GridColumns>
</TelerikGrid>
private TelerikGrid<EvaluationListDTO> GridRef { get; set; }
protected async Task OnChangeModel(object model)
{
var item = (EvaluationListDTO)model;
var state = GridRef?.GetState();
//Save in the Database
// use the state to remove the edited item (close the editor)
state.EditItem = null;
state.OriginalEditItem = null;
await GridRef.SetStateAsync(state);
}
===ADMIN EDIT===
Currently, we use groups for calculating all aggregates in Grid. We can optimize the process so that when there are no groups, specific aggregates are still calculated.
The Blazor TelerikGrid component should support a dropdown column. It should be exactly the same as the dropdown column in the Ajax grid.
https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/grid/columns/column-types#dropdown
It would be nice if I could specify an item in the inline editor (or any other for that matter) to get focus when the editor is activated.
Thanks,
Kenny

It seems the Grid and GridSearchBox assume the search string by taking the value of GridState.SearchFilter.FilterDescriptors[0].Value and this is causing a few issues:
I am expanding grid search to include non-string columns, and I want this to apply by default across our entire application without having to update every grid individually or developers having to remember to opt in.
To search other type columns, I’ve largely taken the logic from Search Grid in numeric and date fields - Telerik UI for Blazor and it works well. However, that solution utilizes a custom search box component that I would have to add to each grid.
Instead, I have placed this filter creation logic in the OnStateChanged handler as exemplified in How to Search Grid Items with a StartsWith Filter Operator - Telerik UI for Blazor, as we already have a handler for this event that all grids utilize.
This has worked wonderfully except for the issues I’ve mentioned.
If the first filter is a CompositeFilterDescriptor, it causes an exception. Specifically:
Unable to cast object of type 'Telerik.DataSource.CompositeFilterDescriptor' to type 'Telerik.DataSource.FilterDescriptor'.
at Telerik.Blazor.Components.Common.TableGridBase`2.LoadSearchFilter(IFilterDescriptor descriptor)
at Telerik.Blazor.Components.TelerikGrid`1.SetStateInternal(GridState`1 state)
at Telerik.Blazor.Components.TelerikGrid`1.<SetStateAsync>d__311.MoveNext()
at Web.Pages.Grid.<OnStateChangedHandler>d__18.MoveNext() in C:\src\Web\Pages\Grid.razor:line 196
If there is another filter in the collection that is not a CompositeFilterDescriptor, I can work around this problem by moving it to the front of the list.
// Make sure first filter is not composite.
var nonCompositeFilter = newSearchFilter.FilterDescriptors.OfType<FilterDescriptor>().FirstOrDefault();
if (nonCompositeFilter is not null && newSearchFilter.FilterDescriptors[0] is CompositeFilterDescriptor)
{
newSearchFilter.FilterDescriptors.Remove(nonCompositeFilter);
newSearchFilter.FilterDescriptors.Insert(0, nonCompositeFilter);
}
However, if all filters are composite, the exception is unavoidable.
If the GridState.SearchFilter.FilterDescriptors collection is empty, the search box gets cleared. This is a problem when a user needs to type more characters for a filter to be created.
For example, let’s say you are only searching DateTime columns and using the logic from Search Grid in numeric and date fields - Telerik UI for Blazor. As you type, it checks to see if the input is an integer between 1000 and 2100. Until you type the fourth digit, it will not meet that condition thus will not add a filter. So if you begin by typing “2”, it searches and a filter will not be added yet. However, because there are no filters, it will clear the search box. You won’t be able to type out a full year value of “2023” unless you type fast enough to outpace the debounce delay.
Using the same example as above but with an Enum column instead of a DateTime, begin typing text. If the text matches an enum name, a filter is added for the enum item’s underlying value. For example:
Sample project attached.
I am trying to get the currently filtered data out of the grid as per this KB article and I want to include the searchbox filters. I do not, however, want to use OnRead but I want to get the grid state on a click of a button and get the filters plus the searchbox filters from it instead.

Here is a sample of getting those filters through the OnRead event without using remote operations - all the data is in the view model (the SourceData field) so this does not change the way operations happen compared to not using OnRead.

Imagine a Grid with two editable columns, which are separated by a few non-editable ones. In the standard use case, tabbing from the first editable column should jump over the non-editable columns, and the user should end up in the second editable column.
However, if the Grid uses virtual columns and the second editable column is not rendered, tab-to-edit will stop working.
