Hello,

If you need to export data from a table in form of an Excel file, we have this Feature via our Table Tools.

Please check more on how this works here : https://wpdatatables.com/documentation/table-features/table-tools/.

Let me know if that achieves the use case.

Thank you.

Hi khurram virk,

My apologies - I did not realise straight away, but when i look closer at your screenshot, I realise that is a Simple Table type.

For the Simple Tables, the Table Tools for exporting are not available, sadly.

For any other Table type - you will find the Table Tools option in the Table settings on top, like this :

If you wish to see an Export Feature for Simple Table type - similar to what we already have in Table Tools, you can make a development suggestion.

Please feel free to search on our suggestions page, 

 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.

-

For the time being, if you need an Export Option - you can try working with any other Table type;

for example, you can try with a Manual Table.

Just please note, there are some unique features that only exist for Simple Tables;

Such as 'merging cells'.   You won't be able to merge cells on any other Table type.

But on the other hand, other Table types have some advantages, like filtering, searching, front-end editing, and so on.

You can see the full list of Simple table limitations on the Documentation Page.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you.

Hi khurram virk,

I am sorry, but I did not understand your last comment.

1. If you wish to use the Table Tools now - please try any other Table type other than Simple Tables.

For example, you can try a Manual table - and it will have the Table Tools.

You can then export your Table as CSV/Excel/PDF,  Copy or Print it.

2. For the Simple table type - Right now there is no way to add Table Tools for that Table type;

but if you wish to see that in the future, please create a development request and we will do our best to add it, I just can't promise an ETA on it.

Please feel free to search on our suggestions page, 

 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.

Let me know if you have any further questions or if you need assistance in building any other Table type ( other than Simple Tables) or if you struggle with using the Export Table Tools.

Thank you.
