That looks like it should work to me. Can you link to a test case showing the issue please. This will allow the issue to be debugged.
Information on how to create a test page, if you can't provide a link to your own page can be found here.
Thanks,

Funny thing is I have similar code and it is working fine, perhaps he needs to update his buttons javascript file version too.
When I am removing the js and css used for sidebar styling it's working. The removed js & css are :
JS:
CSS:
So what I should do to have that styling and column visibility+ export to excel only visible columns working?
We'd really need a link to the page to understand why it isn't working as it is.
