How can I move the "excelHtml5" button function to another button somewhere else?

Scram

I am working on a export to excel for my table and am using that:

$(document).ready(function () {
            $('#table').DataTable({
                dom: 'Bfrtip',
                ordering: false,
                paging: false,
                filter: false,
                info: false,
                buttons: [
            'excelHtml5'
                ]
            });
        });

the excel button appears like it should but I already have a button placed on the right place for that function. And I would like to avoid to have to figure out how to customize the "excelHtml5" button so it shows exactly how I want it to.

You probably need to hide the excelHtml5 button (button().node() to get the node and then use CSS to hide it) and then use button().trigger() on it, called when your other button is activated.
