If your data in the cells is formatted as HTML like that, unfortunately, with the current built-in capabilities, we don't have any built-in solution to extract just the Email address from the rest of the data in the cell.
The table tools functionalities are based on a 3rd party HTML5 library and they are not customizable. Unfortunately, the library allows very little “fine-tuning” of the generated files, so font, size, and other properties cannot be changed.
-
So at this time, we don't have any built-in solution to achieve this, but you can suggest it to our developers - they will do their best to make a solution in the future.
to see if someone may be already suggested this feature. If you can't see it, feel free to add your suggestion there, and as more people vote, the feature will move higher on the priority list.
You can certainly follow our changeLog page if you'd like ( it is also available in the plugin dashboard), where we state any changes/new features/bug fixes during updates;
and our newsletter, so you're informed about new features, bug fixes, freebies, etc.

If you have coding skills and wish to try to make a custom solution now,
When exporting a table to excel the email address that is exported looks like this <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>
instead of [email protected]
Any suggestions
Thx
Hi, Gerrit van Maarleveld
Sorry for the delay.

If you have coding skills and wish to try to make a custom solution now,
you can check out our available hooks for Developers on this documentation and see if you can find any hook that might help.
Please be advised that custom solutions with hooks are not included in our support.
You can also research resources such as Stack Overflow to see if any other user perhaps found a workaround.
( We do like to give examples for certain solutions, but for this use-case, we, unfortunately, don't have anything yet)

Hi Thank you for your response
I changed the E-mail-link to string. the email is then copied correctly
It is then faster to edit and enter on the spreadsheet if you want to create a link
Thanks once again
