Hi adithyay, 
My first thought on this: Why does anyone need this requirement? In my personal opinion there are always two parts of our job. The implementation of requirements via appian and the consulting part. I would try the consulting approach here and try to challenge why anyone needs an export of an excel file with 50 columns.
Usually that means the export of a mass of data.
-> Why not staying in Appian itself? Whats the benefit of exporting it?

Thanks for the response Richard. We need to generate the report and upload it in a different system. I have resolved the issue and we should be good.
