Export ALV with icons to Excel replaces icons with their codes

I have a report program which generates an ALV grid. Some of the columns contain icons. When I export this list to an Excel file, the icons are replaced with their codes (@00@, @8X@ and @8Y@). Is there a way to solve this? If I could change the text, it would also be ok.
