ag-grid export excel api getDataAsExcel

Question

I am using ag-grid in angular 6 version.

I have provided export button to user for exporting ag-grid data into excel. So, on click event of export I am having following code.

onExport() {
  var params = {
            fileName: 'Users',
            allColumns: true
        };
    var content = this.gridOptions.api.getDataAsExcel(params);
    var workbook = XLSX.read(content, {type: 'binary'});
    var xlsxContent = XLSX.write(workbook, {bookType: 'xlsx', type: 'base64'});
    this.myService.download(params, xlsxContent);
}

This is giving me following error.

UserrolesComponent.html:4 ERROR Error: Unrecognized tag: ![CDATA[URId]]|Workbook,false|Worksheet,false|Table,false

what is the issue?

Answer 1

I removed below lines ....

var content = this.gridOptions.api.getDataAsExcel(params);
var workbook = XLSX.read(content, {type: 'binary'});
var xlsxContent = XLSX.write(workbook, {bookType: 'xlsx', type: 'base64'});
this.myService.download(params, xlsxContent);

and kept only ...

this.gridOptions.api.exportDataAsExcel(params);
