How to override built-in Excel exporting functionality in AG Grid

AG Grid has built-in functionality for exporting a grid of data down to an Excel-friendly format: *xls, *.xlsx, *.csv, etc. The button that does this appears when you click it from a context menu that appears on a right-click over the grid.

thx in advance
