title: Enable header filters in excel export using jquery datatables
body: <p>I'm trying to enable to filters to the excel top row / header file which is generated from table data using Jquery Datatables library. </p>
  
  <p>I've followed this tutorial <a href="https://datatables.net/extensions/buttons/examples/initialisation/export.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://datatables.net/extensions/buttons/examples/initialisation/export.html</a> and it works great and generated excel file looks like below.</p>

  <p>As you can see in that pic, there are no filters to the top row. I know that we can enable filters in the excel file after opening. But I'm trying to do it when the excel file gets generated.</p>
  
  <p>So, the exported excel file should like below.</p>

  <p>You can see highlights in red circle with filters. </p>
  
  <p>So Just wondering if it's possible and any suggestions about how to accomplish that would be highly appreciated. </p>
  
  <p>Thank you.</p>
