Hello EvilDestroyer,
You can disable the export and use the exportToExcel method for this purpose; e.g.:

JavaScript
var grid = $("#gridContainer").dxDataGrid({  
  dataSource: employees,  
  "export": {  
    enabled: false,  
    fileName: "Employees",  
    allowExportSelectedData: true  
  }  
}).dxDataGrid('instance');  

grid.exportToExcel(true);
