HI Allan,
Anything new regarding the ability to export complex headers?

    Nope sorry. It will be a major upgrade release of Buttons when that ability is added. Likely it won't happen before the next major upgrade of DataTables since I want to make use of some API methods I'm going to add to DataTables.

    I will be buying some support hours hopefully soon once it gets approved.

    I fear that this is something that would be difficult to cover with the support credits at the moment - at least fully and correctly. It will be possible to put a short term workaround in to allow it to export based on the currently visible headers, but it would need a fair amount of work in DataTables core to add the APIs needed to make it bullet proof.

    Regards,
    Allan

    Sorry, this is not something that I have been working on yet. It is something that is planning, but there is no timescale yet.

    hi,
    https://datatables.net/forums/discussion/22592/export-multiple-row-headers
    in this page i found code
    but in which file i want to put this code
    can any one tell me?

  • allanallan Posts: 61,438Questions: 1Answers: 10,052 Site admin

    That is for the legacy TableTools extension which is no longer being developed. I'm afraid this feature is on the backlog of features for v2 of DataTables.
