I am using a js function exporting few tables to tabs to a single Excel file, the problem is that the columns from the 2ed column and further, are numeric columns and they are exported as text, how can I set these columns data type to number by this code? I have tried to render these columns but with no success. Thanks in advance
var tablesToExcel = (function () {
