Title: Error: "no such method 'exportData' for pqGrid widget instance" when calling exp
Post by: hirehop on November 13, 2025, 04:54:24 pm

Hello,

I am getting the following error when trying to export a pqGrid:
Uncaught Error: no such method 'exportData' for pqGrid widget instance

The error occurs on this line:

Code: [Select]

var blob = $("#grid").pqGrid("exportData", {
    filename: "Report",
    format: "xlsx",
    sheetName: "Sheet1"
});

What I have checked:

The grid loads and works normally (sorting, paging, etc.).

The error happens only when calling exportData().

It appears that the exportData method is not available on my pqGrid instance.

Please confirm your version of pqgrid.

Have you assigned exportData to grid instance anywhere in your code. Check for exportData string in your entire code.

Version 11

In version 11.0.0, the exportData method is now asynchronous, so you need to handle it using async/await (or .then() if you prefer).

Code: [Select]

var grid = $("#grid").pqGrid('instance');
var blob = await grid.exportData({
  filename: "Report",
  format: "xlsx",
  sheetName: "Sheet1"
});
