Excel download with Jquery using Table

- 
I have a tricky dynamic table built from a model that I did not want to fashion in the controller so wanted to just download the table as shown.
This Jquery/Javascript solution allowed me to do just that.
Using a button on the page id='export' and using a table on the page id='tblExport'
We add an event listener for the button - I have declared everything explicitly but could probably have shortened some references to objects.

 
//For the Csv Export
const toCsv = function (table) {
    // Query all rows
    var data = "";
    var tableData = [];
    var rows = $("table tr");
    rows.each(function (index, row) {
        var rowData = [];
        $(row).find("th, td").each(function (index, column) {
            rowData.push(column.innerText);
        });
        tableData.push(rowData.join(","));
    });
    data += tableData.join("\n");
    return data;
};

const download = function (text, fileName) {
    const link = document.createElement('a');
    link.setAttribute('href', `data:text/csv;charset=utf-8,${encodeURIComponent(text)}`);
    link.setAttribute('download', fileName);

    link.style.display = 'none';
    document.body.appendChild(link);

    link.click();

    document.body.removeChild(link);
};

const table = document.getElementById('tblExport');
const exportBtn = document.getElementById('export');

exportBtn.addEventListener('click', function () {
    // Export to csv
    const csv = toCsv(table);
    var reportName = $("#ReportName").val();
    var repDate = $("#RepTitle").text().replaceAll(" ","_");
    // Download it
    download(csv, `${reportName}_${repDate}.csv`);
});

Sorting Ascending and Descending

Toggling the direction of your datagrid sort is easy using a session to remember which direction you sorted last.   You will want to declare an empty string in the top of your page       Dim SortField As String Then on your sort command add this logic - Example of entire command Private Sub dgTaskExceptions_SortCommand( ByVal source As Object , ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridSortCommandEventArgs) Handles dgTaskExceptions.SortCommand     SortField = e.SortExpression If Session( "toggle" ) = True Then SortField += " DESC" Session( "toggle" ) = False Else SortField += " Asc" Session( "toggle" ) = True End If Dim orderstring As String = SortField 'REBIND dgTaskExceptions.DataSource = POTracking_Data.tracking.getSampleTasks(orderstring) dgTaskExceptions.DataBind() End Sub   In my datalayer I add this logic to my query and pass in an OPTIONAL value Dim orderbyString As String = String .Empt
