Export to Excel - external button

TSavage

Good Day! I was wondering if it is possible to export a data table table to Excel without adding a button to the table? I have a requirement that an export button be positioned somewhere else on the page to export the data. I was wondering if I can still export the data that way?

Thanks!

Here are a couple options I can think of:

1. Place the buttons using Direct Insertion.
2. Create the buttons in a hidden element then use button().trigger() to trigger the button.

There maybe other solutions.
