    With the Excel export it should be done automatically. With the PDF export you would need to use the customize method of the pdfHtml5 button type, together with the pdfmake API to right align whatever cells it is that you need.

    I'll look at adding that by default in future.

    Thank you Allan, It worked for me as follow:

    customize: function (doc) {
                        var iColumns = $('#ProjectReport thead th').length;
    
                        var rowCount = document.getElementById("ProjectReport").rows.length;
                        var groupByValue = $('#GroupByFilter option:selected').data('index');
    
                        for (i = 0; i < rowCount; i++) {
                           
                                doc.content[1].table.body[i][iColumns - 1].alignment = 'right';
                                doc.content[1].table.body[i][iColumns - 2].alignment = 'right';
                                doc.content[1].table.body[i][iColumns - 3].alignment = 'right';
                            
                        };
                    }

    Your solution worked for me @osamajaved . I only wanted certain columns to be re-aligned, not all.

    EDIT: I only used:
    var rowCount = doc.content[1].table.body.length;
    for (i = 1; i < rowCount; i++) {
    doc.content[1].table.body[i][4].alignment = 'right';
    doc.content[1].table.body[i][5].alignment = 'right';
    doc.content[1].table.body[i][6].alignment = 'right';
    }
    ;},
