You can accomplish this in the excelExport events of the Kendo SpreadSheet.

Use the following code:

excelExport: function(e) {
    // Prevent the default behavior which will prompt the user to save the generated file.
    e.preventDefault();

    // Get the Excel file as a data URL.
    var dataURL = new kendo.ooxml.Workbook(e.workbook).toDataURL();

    // Strip the data URL prologue.
    var base64 = dataURL.split(";base64,")[1];

    // Post the base64 encoded content to the server which can save it.
    $.post("/server/save", {
        base64: base64,
        fileName: "ExcelExport.xlsx"
    });
}

You can read further about this in Kendo's documentation here. This page is for exporting to excel from a Kendo Grid but it's exactly the same for the SpreadSheet.
