 I am trying to generate excel document by using the a!exportDataStoreEntityToCsv(). Below is my code snippet:

&lt;p&gt;1) Check all the Field name as per the CDT ..would suggest copy and paste from there esp:&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;ewr_number&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2) I see you are trying to fetch data but based on which filter value are you trying to get.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Excel file not getting generated.</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/80185?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 11 Mar 2021 00:02:18 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:fdcac7c9-0123-4803-951e-cb2acd3c10b6</guid><dc:creator>Acacio Barrado</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Anandita,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Have you considered the possibility to move the Excel generation to a Process Model? You could replace the linkfield for a startProcessLink and try to achieve the same result but using the Smart Service instead the function.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That&amp;nbsp;is the way how I&amp;#39;m doing my exports:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You could try at least to create a test Process Model and check if it run without errors.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Regards,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I cross checked my field names they are similar to the ones in CDT but still getting the error.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also, I tried using another CDT which is working as expected an the excel is getting downloaded too.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here, I presume the view is holding a large set of data and hence taking time to fetch it, resulting in that error. Now if that is the real problem then I am not sure how to fix that. Could you please suggest?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anandita&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Excel file not getting generated.</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/80153?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 09 Mar 2021 23:16:42 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:f2bbc2cb-2e28-4b4b-9dca-eaeb2d7f11c7</guid><dc:creator>Acacio Barrado</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Anandita,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have a similar scenario here and I tested your code using my data store, it is working just fine.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Perhaps you should check the fields names in the queryColumns it should match the CDT instead the Table.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Regards,&lt;/p&gt;
