Export CDT to Excel

Certified Senior Developer

Hi,

We have requirement, where we need to export CDT to excel.

CDT is not populated from database table and view, so we can not use a!exportDataStoreEntityToExcel()

We are using Appian 19.1 cloud environment. Is there any way we can achieve this ?

    The only way of doing this easily would be to get an old version (2.0.0 or earlier) of the Excel Tools plug-in, which I don't believe there's any official way to do.

    I believe Appian's official answer would currently be something along the lines of: create a temporary database table, write your information to that table, then use the DSE to Excel smart service node to output that data back to Excel.  It seems like an extreme inconvenience, but could be made to work.
