Looking for any previous exposure to achieve it.

Thanks in advance.

    The docs page mentions this code:

    The only part that they did not complete will look like this:

    If it is your own form (not MS standard), it is as simple as this:

    Hi Neetu,

    As mentioned in Docs, you need to implement the ExportToExcelIGeneratedCustomExport interface, it changes to use OfficeIGeneratedWorkbookCustomExporter.

    With it, you can customize the menu you need.

    Please refer this Docs: [View:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/unified-operations/dev-itpro/office-integration/customize-open-office-menu:750:50]

    and blog :[View:https://www.d365stuff.co/customdataentityopeninexcel/:750:50]
