exculde dynamic columns while exporting

devikam

Hi,

I am using datatable.js with tabletools for export(copy, csv, xls) functionality. I have a requirement to remove certain (dynamic) columns while exporting.

for example: In my case I have 113 columns that needs to be exported and I needs to remove 100,111,114,116th column from exporting. Including column indexes doesn't suit my requirement as columns changes frequently

Please suggest a way so that it works.

thanks in advance

This example shows how you can use a column selector to pick the columns you want for the export.

Hi Allan,

even column selector doesn't suit my requirement. Is there any other option to exclude dynamic data from exporting.

thanks

Is there any way to exclude columns using headerText. In my case I am using mColumns.?

You can use the columns selector as a function (see column-selector) which would give you the ability to decide on-the-fly if you want to use a column, and yo check if you want to with whatever logic condition you need.
