Solution 1

You need define exportOptions: Here is the code for you

var buttonCommon = { exportOptions: { format: { body: function(data, column, row, node) {if (column == 2) { return $(data).find("option:selected").text() } else return data } } } };

Then when define the buttons, use this one: buttons: [ 'copy', $.extend(true, {}, buttonCommon, { extend: "csv" }),$.extend(true, {}, buttonCommon, { extend: "excel" }), $.extend(true, {}, buttonCommon, { extend: "pdf" })]

Solution 2

Another Solution From my side. I solved this by creating a duplicate column (but with text instead of dropdown buttons) on the end of my table and hiding it using display none.

The hidden column gets updated with the selected dropdown data in the other column using jQuery. Then I hid the dropdown column on export using

exportOptions: { columns: columns: [ 0, 1, 3, 4, 5, 6] }

(column 2 had the dropdowns)
