Hi Kevin,

thank you for sharing your solution here, so that others community members can benefit from it as well !

Never mind, got it, it's the primaryKey property, set on the grid itself. For anyone interested, the following callback worked:

                    rowExporting: function (sender, args) {
                        var rid = args.rowId;
                        var select = $("#jobs").igGridSelection("selectedRows");
                        for (var i = 0; i < select.length; i++) {
                            if (select[i].id === rid) {
                                return true;
                            }
                        }
                        return false;

A few notes, as it still took me a bit of fiddling to get it working:

• Silly type - I was using selectedCells the first time
• The return value to include a row is a bit confusing the API doc just says Cancel="true", leading me to think I needed to return true to exclude a row. It's the other way round, return true to include the row, false to exclude it
• Documentation for selectedRows appears to be wrong. It states the objects returned have an element and an index property, when they also have the id property as well - it's just called "id", not "rowId"

Hope you don't mind if I hijack this thread, but we're trying to do the same thing (export selected rows to Excel). I tried using the following code:

        $("#exportSelectedButton").on("click", function () {
            $.ig.GridExcelExporter.exportGrid($('#jobs'), {
                gridFeatureOptions: { sorting: "applied", paging: "allRows", hiding: "none", filtering: "filteredRowsOnly" },
                columnsToSkip: ["ContactUrl"]
            }, {
                    cellExported: function (e, args) {
                        if (args.columnKey == 'ViewUrl') {
                            var regex = /<[^>]*>([^<]*)</;
                            var raw = args.cellValue;
                            var text = regex.exec(raw);
                            text = (text == null ? raw : text[1]);
                            args.xlRow.cells(args.columnIndex).value(text);
                        }
                    },
                    rowExporting: function (sender, args) {
                        var rid = args.rowId;
                        var select = $("#jobs").igGridSelection("selectedCells");
                        for (var i = 0; i < select.length; i++) {
                            if (select[i].rowId === rid) return false;
                        }
                        return true;
                    }
                });
        });

The idea being to match rows from the source data that were also present in the selected rows array - if the row being tested for export is in that array then export it, otherwise don't. However, when this runs it exports everything because the rowId values haven't been populated. I'm sure somewhere there is an option to specify how this is populated, but I can't find it. Can you first of all tell me if my approach above makes sense, and if so then point me at how to populate rowId?

Thanks,

Kevin
