I would like to replace the first icon in the blue bar with the excel button function, is this possible and if yes how?

I managed to get it solved

Start your code here:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
var dataTable = $('#dtMaterialDesignExample').DataTable( {
dom: 'Bltrip',
buttons: [{
extend: 'excel',
text: '<i class="fa fa-file-excel-o" aria-hidden="true"></i>'
},{
extend: 'pdf',
text: '<i class="fa fa-file-pdf-o" aria-hidden="true"></i>'
},{
extend: 'copy',
text: '<i class="fa fa-clone" aria-hidden="true"></i>'
}]
} );
$('#dtMaterialDesignExample_wrapper').find('label').each(function () {
$(this).parent().append($(this).children());
});
$('#dtMaterialDesignExample_wrapper .dataTables_filter').find('input').each(function () {
$('input').attr("placeholder", "Search");
$('input').removeClass('form-control-sm');
});
$('#dtMaterialDesignExample_wrapper .dt-buttons').find('button').each(function () {
$('button').removeClass('btn-secondary');
$('button').addClass('btn-outline-white btn-rounded btn-sm px-2');
});
$('#dtMaterialDesignExample_wrapper .dt-buttons').removeClass('btn-group');
$('#dtMaterialDesignExample_wrapper .dt-buttons').addClass('view view-cascade gradient-card-header blue-gradient narrower py-2 mx-4 mb-3 d-flex justify-content-between align-items-center');
$('#dtMaterialDesignExample_wrapper .buttons-html5').wrapAll('<div class="pfb-group"></div>');
$('#dtMaterialDesignExample_wrapper .pfb-group').after('<label>Test Pagina</label><input class="form-control" style="width: 250px;" type="search" id="filterbox" placeholder = "Zoeken">');
$('#dtMaterialDesignExample_wrapper .dataTables_length').addClass('d-flex flex-row');
$('#dtMaterialDesignExample_wrapper select').removeClass('custom-select custom-select-sm form-control form-control-sm');
$('#dtMaterialDesignExample_wrapper select').addClass('mdb-select');
$('#dtMaterialDesignExample_wrapper .mdb-select').material_select();
$("#filterbox").keyup(function() {
dataTable.search(this.value).draw();
});
});
