Answer 1

From the official docs:
By default the export will use the keys of your array (or model
attribute names) as first row (header column). To change this
behaviour you can edit the default config setting
(excel::export.generate_heading_by_indices) or pass false as 5th
parameter:
Change:
$sheet->fromArray($data); to $sheet->fromArray($data, null, 'A1', false, false);
how to change the number into text what i want in the header table.
Then you can define your own heading and prepend it to the first row of the sheet.
$headings = array('date start', 'date end', 'status condition', 'security', 'company');
$sheet->prependRow(1, $headings);
That should make it work.

Try this in your controller
$data=Insertion::get()->toArray();
return Excel::create('yourfilename', function($excel) use ($data) {
$excel->sheet('mySheet', function($sheet) use ($data)
{
$sheet->cell('A1:C1',function($cell)
{
$cell->setAlignment('center');
$cell->setFontWeight('bold');
});
$sheet->cell('A:C',function($cell)
{
$cell->setAlignment('center');
});
$sheet->cell('A1', function($cell)
{
$cell->setValue('S.No');
});
$sheet->cell('B1', function($cell)
{
$cell->setValue('Name');
});
$sheet->cell('C1', function($cell)
{
$cell->setValue('Father Name');
});
if (!empty($data)) {
$sno=1;
foreach ($data as $key => $value)
{
$i= $key+2;
$sheet->cell('A'.$i, $sno);
$sheet->cell('B'.$i, $value['name']);
$sheet->cell('C'.$i, $value['fathername']);
$sno++;
}
}
});
})->download(xlsx);
