In case you'll use export format for only visible columns, fixed column indexes will play some tricks on you, so what helped in my case was checking the node child and if it is select, then make the format

body: function(data, row, col,node) {
   var elementType = node.firstChild;
   if (elementType != null) {
         if (elementType.nodeName == "SELECT") return 
         $(elementType).find(':selected').text();
         else return data;
   }
   else return data
