Hi,
I have a read-only grid with a few columns, but there are quite a number of other columns from the other tables which need to be populated in excel.
I have a Data base view where I have joined all the required tables to get the data.
Can someone suggest the best way I can use the SQLServer view to get the data into excel?
Thanks in advance

You can have "Export to excel" link , clicking on the link , the excel report can be generated.You can use this smart service to export the data to excel.Export Data Store Entity to Excel Smart Service - Appian 22.1
Thanks for your response.
When I have gone through the provided help link, I didn't find a way to call a database view in that.
Can you throw some light on how to call a database view.
Thanks
Create CDT based on the view and map the entity in datastore.Use the entity in the Export to excel smart service and set the other info in the smart service. On Data->Output tab, save the new document AC to process variable.
Thanks for sharing more details.
Is it possible to call a process model when I click on the "Export to Excel" link and use the service instead of using
a!exportDataStoreEntityToExcel()
Yes, you can use start process link to call a process.
Is it not possible to call a process model using a!dynamicLink().
Thanks.
