Question

How can we export the contents of the jQuery Datatables to proper Excel format? The current implementation only exports to .csv file. Does any one have a demo or working example for this?

More details are the discussion here and here .

Answer 1

If you want to export in excel only format you have to modified the "TableTools.min.js" file. You have to open "TableTools.min.js" file and replace " .csv" with " .xls" word. Then it will work export proper Excel format.

Also if you want download updated "TableTools.min.js" download by below link.
