Provide excel download functionality on button click.

Question

I was using plugin getdatasubsetdownloadlinkfromprocess to give export the data in excel to user on 1 click. Now its not working in 20.4. 
 I also used a!exportDataStoreEntityToExcel() function but this need to work on 2 clicks it work in saveInto. Can anyone suggest any other method to provide user the export of dynamic excel. 
 Thanks in advance

Not possible unless you pre-generate the excel before the user lands on the page.

Your best bet is to plan on a 2-click approach. The only way to do it with one click was that one specific (VERY OLD) plug-in which was horribly complicated and buggy. 
 The current ways (including Export DSE to Excel, and even the two deprecated smart services in the Excel Tools plug-in that provide various functionality not yet added to Export DSE... ) are much easier and more reliable but do require one click to do the generation, populate a variable with the document ID, then display of a download link that the user must then click on.
