I am sorry to disappoint you, but unfortunately, something like this is not possible with the plugin's built-in features.
If you hide something from the front-end, the table tools won't be able to read them, and they won't be exportable. Table tools functionalities are based on a 3rd party HTML5 library and are not customizable, unfortunately.
Hi I was hoping that I would be able to hide items, and have them be visible when I click a button this works!
Brilliant.
How do I now manage to make these items exportable to excel?
