Hi Jagan, 

 

The Formula fields are not values stored in records but the formula is calculated and displayed only upon Loadig of the Record's page. 

Hence when exported the formula is not calculated at the time of export but the value in the field is getting exported. 

The work around would only be writing the formula in excel again where ever possible. 

See the blog might help, http://simplysfdc.blogspot.sg/2013/06/salesforce-hyperlink-in-excel-file.html
