    I think your issue is more like excel / export to excel thinking this is a numeric value instead of a text value. It used to be (or still is) a common issue when exporting a somewhat numeric appearing text to excel. In pure excel, you used to put an apostrophe in front of the text so excel knew it was not a number. In HTML export, you use to put a span around the text. In writing to .xlsx worksheets, you put a span with class of "text" around the text to prevent conversion.

    I think you can use the exporting data feature found here,
    https://datatables.net/extensions/buttons/examples/html5/outputFormat-function.html

    I think if you render your export with an apostrophe in front of the text value for that column or encapsulate the cell in a span it is should work.
