Column value is broken when export to Excel

Column value is broken when export to Excel

yaylitzisyaylitzis Posts: 6Questions: 2Answers: 0

I have a column which contains some barcodes like:

  • 20021510107903080221102112000001
  • 20021510107903211220328911000001
  • 20021510107903211220328900400002

However, excel in this column has values:

  • 2,00215E+31
  • 2,00215E+31
  • 2,00215E+31

I tried to set this column as Text by

buttons: [
    {
        extend: 'excelHtml5',
        customize: function (xlsx) {
            var sheet = xlsx.xl.worksheets['sheet1.xml'];
             $('row c[r^="E"]', sheet).attr( 's', '0' );  /*Column is E*/
        }
    }
],

but nothing happened....

Is there a way to show the values correctly?

    Hi @colin

    My code looks like this

    var tableLabels = $('#myTable').DataTable({
        data: ${jsonList},
        orderCellsTop: true,
        fixedHeader: true,
        scrollX: true,
        pageLength: 50,
        select: true,
        colReorder: true,
        order: [[0, "desc"]],
        dom: 'Bfrtip',
        buttons: [
            {
                extend: 'excelHtml5',
                customize: function (xlsx) {
                    var sheet = xlsx.xl.worksheets['sheet1.xml'];
                     $('row c[r^="E"]', sheet).attr( 's', '0' );
                }
            }
        ],
        columns: [
            {data: "dateTime"},
            {data: "barcode"}   
        ],
        columnDefs: [
            {targets: 0, className: 'dt-body-left'},
            {targets: 1, className: 'dt-body-left'}     
        ]
    });
    

    I can't figure out where the solution is applied to ... Could you help a little more?
    Thanks a lot!
