export to excel example tacks on the webpage title as first row

rpanjwani

your example here when clicking excel and opening the excel file puts "DataTables example - File export" as the first row in the excel spreadsheet rather than your header row. How can I avoid this?

Start with this example:
https://datatables.net/extensions/buttons/examples/html5/titleMessage.html

It has a link to the docs for buttons.exportInfo(). There you will find how to control the title display.

Sorry, I'm not sure how to use this info for excel export.

Nevermind, fixed it by using extend functionality. Saw it here.
