Note - Operators, Functions and Constants That Can be Exported to XLS(X) Format When Used in Expression Based Conditional Formatting and Unbound Columns

The following restrictions apply when exporting certain DevExpress controls (Data Grid and Tree List controls for WinForms and WPF) to XLS(X) format in Data-Aware Export Mode.

If these controls use expression-based conditional formatting and/or expression-based unbound columns, expressions are only exported to XLS(X) format if they are made of export-friendly functions. To find out if a function can be exported to XLS(x) format, refer to the XLS(x) Format Export-Friendlycolumn in the tables above.
