Hoping perchance Niklas, who created the excellent Seam / Excel plugin, would be able to chime in here.

I've found that certain columns in our rich:dataTables appear empty once exported via the excelExporter.export(tableId) approach.

It seems that all data columns that contained *hyperlinks/commandLinks* appear empty within Excel.  At first I thought maybe the text was just white and the data was there - but that was not the case.  The columns themselves are completely empty.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

I tried to format the cells different but that did not seem to help.

Thanks.
