export file when the table contains select tags

DeboraMezzalira

I have a table with selects(dropdowns) inside the cells, when I use the export to excel, all the options inside the select come to the excel file. I expected only the selected option appear in the file, what is happening? some one can help me?

<select class="select-button" name="select" onchange="updateColor(this)" onclick="bloqueioCheck(this)"style="background-color:Linen;">
    <option>IMPLANTADO</option>
    <option value="ANÁLISE OP">ANÁLISE OP</option>
    <option value="ATRASADO">ATRASADO</option>
    <option value="EM PRODUÇÃO">EM PRODUÇÃO</option>
    <option value="EMBARCADO">EMBARCADO</option>
    <option value="IMPLANTADO">IMPLANTADO</option>
    <option value="PRONTO">PRONTO</option>
    <option value="RESERVA">RESERVA</option>
    </select> </td>

        $(document).ready(function() {
           var table = $('#GRID').DataTable();
            new $.fn.dataTable.Buttons( table, {
                 buttons: [{
                        extend:    'excel',
                        text:      '<i class="fa fa-print"></i>',
                        titleAttr: 'Excel',
                        messageBottom : totalizadores,
                        createEmptyCells: true,
                        exportOptions: {
                            columns: ':visible'},   

                 }] 
            });
          table.buttons().container()
            .appendTo( $('#menuBotoes', table.table().container() ) );
        });

This thread should help. This is talking about getting the value of an input element, but the same principle would apply,
