It would be nice to have the possibility of using own template for the exported data, as some data may be obtained from own functions.
Something like this:
            columns: [
                {
                    field: "ProductName",
                    title: "Product Name",
                    aggregates: ["count"],
                    footerTemplate: "Total Count: #=count#",
                    groupFooterTemplate: "Count: #=count#"
                },
                {
                    field: "UnitPrice",
                    title: "Unit Price",
                    template: '<div style="text-align: right; font-weight: bold;">#= kendo.toString(UnitPrice, "n2") #</div>',
                    exportTemplate: '#= kendo.toString(UnitPrice, "n4") #',
                    aggregates: ["sum"]
                }
            ]
		 
	
		Hello,
The templates are not exported at the moment because they may contain arbitrary content which could break the generated workbook.
We have added a knowledge base article that shows how to export a grid with HTML and many template columns in Excel here:

As far as the PDF export is concerned, the k-pdf-class which is added only during PDF export can be used to customize the appearance of columns:

Thanks for the suggestion. For now you can intercept the excelExport event of the grid as illustrated here (http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/web/grid/how-to/excel/column-template-export) in order to output and format the data in the template column cells according to your preferences
