you can try adding format: "0" to such cells in the js workbook.

1) Export the grid to intermediate js workbook

2) Add format: "0" to such cells with large values.

3) Export js workbook to Excel.

"34300E7" is exported as "34300E7" by grid but the problem lies in how Excel interprets such strings.

and I don't see any way in Excel to interpret 34300E7 or any strings composed of numbers with letter "E" in them as string.

Currently there is no solution for it. I'm looking into it to add support for it in upcoming versions.
