Sure, get the data from the serial port and display it in the grid. When all of your data has been collected then export it to an xls file. A simple google search or search on CP would guide for any and/or all of this. What exactly is the problem?

What is happening? You can set the way data gets ordered on your grid.

If you databind a grid, you can't add items to it. I suspect you want to just add your items to the Items collection of the grid, so you can add tehm as the data comes in. You have to set the selected row yourself in code, too.
