Cannot export hidden columns in Kendo Grid

I want to hide some columns on Kendo Grid and export them to the excel as the visible columns. However, using Hidden(true) or Visible(false) does not make any sense and these fields are not exported. The workarounds on this page is not working. Any idea?

View:

@(Html.Kendo().Grid<ContactViewModel>()
    .Name("Grid")
    .Columns(columns =>
        {
            columns.Bound(m => m.NameSurname).Title("Name Surname").Width("%100");
            columns.Bound(m => m.InstituteName).Title("Institute Name").Width("250px");
            columns.Bound(m => m.CityName).Title("City").Width("145px");
            columns.Bound(m => m.RegionName).Title("Region").Width("145px");
            columns.Bound(m => m.ContactMobile).Title("Mobile").Width("125px");
            columns.Bound(m => m.ContactAddress).Title("Address").Hidden(true); //I want to export these fields
            columns.Bound(m => m.ContactAddress).Title("Address").Visible(false); //I want to export these fields    
        })
    .ToolBar(toolbar =>
        {
            toolbar.Template(@<text>
                <div class="toolbar">                        
                    <button class="btn btn-primary btn-xs pull-right k-button k-button-icontext k-grid-excel">
                        <span class="k-icon k-excel"></span>
                        Liste (xls)
                    </button>
                </div>
            </text>);
        })

    .Excel(excel => excel
        .FileName("List.xlsx")
        .Filterable(true)
        .AllPages(true)
        .ProxyURL(Url.Action("Excel_Export_Save", "Controller"))
    )
    .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
        .Ajax()
        .Read(read => read.Action("Index_Read", "Controller"))
        .ServerOperation(false) 
        .PageSize(12)
        )
    )
)

See this solution Plunker, suggested solution on Telerik website. To show column in your export functionality, bind this 'excelExport' event of that grid.

var exportFlag = false;
$("#grid").data("kendoGrid").bind("excelExport", function (e) {
    if (!exportFlag) {
    //  e.sender.showColumn(0); for demo
    // for your case show column that you want to see in export file
        e.sender.showColumn(5);
        e.sender.showColumn(6);
        e.preventDefault();
        exportFlag = true;
        setTimeout(function () {
            e.sender.saveAsExcel();
        });
    } else {
        e.sender.hideColumn(5);
        e.sender.hideColumn(6);
        exportFlag = false;
    }
});
