Excel will be ignoring your styles, it is a spreadsheet application, it doesn't understand css. You'll need to make sure the username is capitalised in the html you're passing in. We don't know how that is generated so it's hard to give specific advice.

The general working of content type is that the html tags are converted into fields instead of generating td with title case class you can use th tag which will do the needful.

Because td tag mean to generate column but it will not refer to any class and apply style but in html if you use tag it would have made bold
