I use this method. Inherit the DataGrid into a new component and add a permanent method for export to clipboard. Has the added benefit of making changes from filtering / sorting / column visibility.

Then popup an an alert instructing the user to paste into Excel. Obviously, if you are exporting 2 grids, then you rely on the user to move the cursor correctly to the new position. Maybe write two tables to a html file and then use native extensions to launch excel and open it? (This assumes AIR.)
