Antes de </head> en la cadena de la plantilla, inserte <meta charset = "utf-8">.

Esto obliga a Excel a interpretar los personajes como usted espera.

This works well as long as there's not a lot of data. I'm trying to export a table with a couple thousand rows and it causes the browser to bomb and display the dreaded about:blank page. Bummer, now I have to find another way to export my table.

Above function works fine for me. I have hyperlinks in my table. How do I remove those hyperlinks ?

For encoding problems, add the following in the template string:

<meta charset="utf-8"></meta>

Like this:

let uri = 'data:application/vnd.ms-excel;charset=utf-8;base64,'
    , template = '<html xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40"><head><meta charset="utf-8"></meta><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml><x:ExcelWorkbook><x:ExcelWorksheets><x:ExcelWorksheet><x:Name>{worksheet}</x:Name><x:WorksheetOptions><x:DisplayGridlines/></x:WorksheetOptions></x:ExcelWorksheet></x:ExcelWorksheets></x:ExcelWorkbook></xml><![endif]--></head><body><table>{table}</table></body></html>'
    , base64 = function(s) { return window.btoa(unescape(encodeURIComponent(s))) }
    , format = function(s, c) { return s.replace(/{(\w+)}/g, function(m, p) { return c[p]; }) }
