Question

I’m using DataTables and TableTools to format a table
and when I want it to export the table as .xls the result
is still as .csv. .pdf export works flawless but how to make “TableTools”
to export the table as .xls?

thanks in advance

You can use libs like:
http://code.google.com/p/php-excel/ or
http://phpexcel.codeplex.com/

Or you can use header to make simpel xls files

$filename ="excelreport.xls";
$contents = "testdata1 \t testdata2 \t testdata3 \t \n";
header('Content-type: application/ms-excel');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='.$filename);
echo $contents;
