I m using DataTable (Jquery) to export excel file. But I facing on how do put extra information to export excel file. I have tried some code but it didn't meet my expectation.

My expected exported excel file is as below picture:

However my output is as below picture, my title report and address is located at middle isn't on top of report:

enter image description here

with using code below:

{
extend: 'excelHtml5',
title: 'Trace Report',
messageTop: 'ABC company' + 'address',
//message: "Any message for header inside the file. I am not able to put message in next row in excel file but you can use \n"+'modelID'+modelId,
render: function (data, type, full, meta) {
return '<a href="' + data + '">Download</a>'; //change the button text here
},
customize: function (xlsx) {

    var sheet = xlsx.xl.worksheets['sheet1.xml'];
    var numrows = 10;

    // add styles for the column header, these row will be moved down
    var clRow = $('row', sheet);

    //$(clRow[0]).find('c').attr('s', 32);

    //update Row
    clRow.each(function () {
        var attr = $(this).attr('r');

        var ind = parseInt(attr);
        ind = ind + numrows;
        //ind is num of row +1
        $(this).attr("r", ind);
    });

    // Create row before data
    $('row c ', sheet).each(function (index) {
        var attr = $(this).attr('r');

        var pre = attr.substring(0, 1);
        //pre=A,B,C..-F repeat 5 time
        var ind = parseInt(attr.substring(1, attr.length));
        ind = ind + numrows;
        $(this).attr("r", pre + ind);
    });

    function addRow(index, data) {
        var row = sheet.createElement('row');

        row.setAttribute("r", index);
        for (i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
            var key = data[i].k;
            var value = data[i].v;

            var c = sheet.createElement('c');
            c.setAttribute("t", "inlineStr");
            c.setAttribute("s", "2"); /*set specific cell style here*/
            c.setAttribute("r", key + index);

            var is = sheet.createElement('is');
            var t = sheet.createElement('t');
            var text = sheet.createTextNode(value)


            t.appendChild(text);
            is.appendChild(t);
            c.appendChild(is);

            row.appendChild(c);

            debugger;
        }

        return row;
    }

    //add data to extra rows
    var countryStateList = 'asd';
    var agencyValue = 'asd';
    var reportGroupList = 'asd';
    var certNo = '3e'

    var r1 = addRow(1, [{
        k: 'A',
        v: 'Certificate Number'
    }, {
        k: 'B',
        v: 'Model ID:'
    }, {
        k: 'C',
        v: 'Serial Number'
    }, {
        k: 'D',
        v: 'Calibration Date'
    }]);
    var r2 = addRow(2, [{
        k: 'A',
        v: countryStateList
    }, {
        k: 'B',
        v: agencyValue
    }, {
        k: 'C',
        v: reportGroupList
    }, {
        k: 'D',
        v: certNo
    }]); //add one cell for row 1 
    //$('row c[r^="A"]', sheet).attr( 's', '25' );
    var sheetData = sheet.getElementsByTagName('sheetData')[0];
    // sheetData.insertBefore(r4,sheetData.childNodes[0]);
    // sheetData.insertBefore(r3,sheetData.childNodes[0]);
    sheetData.insertBefore(r2, sheetData.childNodes[0]);

    sheetData.insertBefore(r1, sheetData.childNodes[0]);
}

    We're happy to take a look, but as per the forum rules, please link to a test case - a test case that replicates the issue will ensure you'll get a quick and accurate response. Information on how to create a test case (if you aren't able to link to the page you are working on) is available here.

    The problem appears to be your code that adds the additional lines. If you remove your customize code, then the header appears as expected - I think your code to add the lines is over-writing that. You're also using old versions of the library, so it would be worth changing the libraries to be:

    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://cdn.datatables.net/v/bs/jqc-1.12.4/jszip-2.5.0/dt-1.10.20/b-1.6.1/b-colvis-1.6.1/b-html5-1.6.1/b-print-1.6.1/datatables.min.css"/>
     
    <script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/pdfmake/0.1.36/pdfmake.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/pdfmake/0.1.36/vfs_fonts.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.datatables.net/v/bs/jqc-1.12.4/jszip-2.5.0/dt-1.10.20/b-1.6.1/b-colvis-1.6.1/b-html5-1.6.1/b-print-1.6.1/datatables.min.js"></script>
