To reproduce: run the attached sample project and click the 'export' button. The exported file fill be automatically opened. If you select several cells from the UnitPrice column you will see at the bottom that the cell values ' total is displayed. However, if you include the summary item's value in the selection its value is not taken into consideration. If you pay attention to the cell's format, it will be General instead of custom numeric one. Workaround: Private Sub spreadExporter_CellFormatting(sender As Object, e As Telerik.WinControls.Export.CellFormattingEventArgs) If e.GridRowInfoType = GetType(GridViewSummaryRowInfo) AndAlso e.GridCellInfo.ColumnInfo.Name = "DecimalColumn" Then Dim cellSelection As CellSelection = TryCast(e.CellSelection, CellSelection) Dim cellFormat As New CellValueFormat("### ### ###.00") If cellFormat IsNot Nothing Then cellSelection.SetValue(Decimal.Parse(cellSelection.GetValue().Value.RawValue.Replace(" ", ""))) cellSelection.SetFormat(cellFormat) End If End If End Sub
