Export to csv with nested columns

Hi
I am using the export to csv export plugin on a table with nested headers.
I don’t get the header names, only a-z.
How can I get the column names?
Thank you!

Unfortunately it wasn’t planned to work with nestedHeaders. I think that we should add this feature one day.

ok, I have another question regarding the styling of nested headers.
I am trying to use the function

 colHeaders: function(index) {
            return '<div style="background-color: red; color: white;">'+index+'</div>'
        }

I’ve seen on this jsfiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/92tve8r0/

And it’s not working. Is there a way to style nested headers?

here’s a really cool example which our developer Jan made some time ago http://codepen.io/js-ziggle/pen/pjpNWZ I think it might come in handy :slight_smile:

Hi Eric,

this is more a known limitation than a bug. Currently this task do not have a dead-line.

Hi Aleksandra,

May I ask if this export nestedHeaders feature is being supported in export Plugin now?

#14

Currently nestedHeaders are skipped in the export. The plugin uses only colHeaders as the pattern.
