DataTable ColumnDefs target is invoking for PDF/Excel creation

macchha

Here is the Ref:
https://jsfiddle.net/madhukarhebbar/dv83vr58/
I have 10+ columns targets where date conversion will happen for some of the rows during load.
How can I prevent the same during PDF or excel export?
I.e Column Target should not get called for Export.

You don't - it is intentional that the columns.render function be called on export since the export might format the data in a specific way. The renderer is just a regular function, so you can easily use an if condition and orthogonal data in it if you want to use different data for the export. See this example for that.
