To reproduce: GridViewSpreadExport spreadExporter = new GridViewSpreadExport(this.radGridView1); spreadExporter.RunExport(@"C:\exportedFile.xlsx"); Workaround: GridViewSpreadExport spreadExporter = new GridViewSpreadExport(this.radGridView1); spreadExporter.RunExport(@"C:\exportedFile.xlsx", new SpreadExportRenderer()); Alternatively you can set the Copy Local property of the TelerikExport assembly to true.
