            ),
          ),
        ],
      ),
    );
  }

Add GlobalKey for the DataGrid

After adding the DataGrid, create the GlobalKey with the SfDataGridState class. Exporting related methods is available via the SfDataGridState class.

Set the created GlobalKey to the DataGrid.

final GlobalKey<SfDataGridState> _key = GlobalKey<SfDataGridState>();

...
    child: SfDataGrid(
    key: _key,
...

Export the DataGrid to Excel

Use the exportToExcelWorkbook method from _key.currentState! and call this method in a button click.

  Future<void> exportDataGridToExcel() async {
    final Workbook workbook = _key.currentState!.exportToExcelWorkbook();
    final List<int> bytes = workbook.saveAsStream();
    File('DataGrid.xlsx').writeAsBytes(bytes);
    workbook.dispose();
  }

Export the DataGrid to PDF

Use the exportToPdfDocument method from _key.currentState! and call this method in a button click.

  Future<void> exportDataGridToPdf() async {
    final PdfDocument document =
        _key.currentState!.exportToPdfDocument();

    final List<int> bytes = document.save();
    File('DataGrid.pdf').writeAsBytes(bytes);
    document.dispose();
  }
