Ignore certain character in export but not the DOM

Is there a special parameter we have to do to ignore specific characters when we export but not in the DOM itself? I am hoping to ignore dollar signs and percentage signs in the export so I just export the values. It would be even better if I can set the types for those specific columns to be numbers. I ran into an issue where they were processed as dates and fixed those to be processed as string, but it would be most ideal if I can tell the export to ignore the currency and percent characters on those specific columns.

You could try this fork: https://github.com/hhurz/tableExport.jquery.plugin It provides more options. There are callback functions like onCellHtmlData and onCellData that should let you do what you described.

Thank you @hhurz. This looks like a splendid solution. I admit the only callbacks I have done were with things like Datatables in the past and I might need a little help on using the plugin like a more xlsx-directed example. I saw how you did the example for pdf and get a general idea, but the params are a little tricky.
