I would like to know if we have any replacement or equally functioning Deprecated Export CDT to Excel. I am aware we have Export DSE to Excel but my requirement is to export the local data into Excel and we are not storing data in the table.

As far as i know , there is no replacement for this plugin as of now. But what you can do is , create a temporary table , write your cdt data into temp table and export the data using Export DSE to excel. I hope it helps.

To note, a number of us are still utilizing the deprecated Export CDT to Excel service, as there isn't really a suitable replacement available which can support local data, with excel templates, properly.

Otherwise for Export DSE to Excel, you will need to persist the data to your data store to export via this node.

Thanks for your inputs [mention:23a2ab7d11d24e69bfaa8e50e14d1914:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] I am bit sceptical to use Export CDT to Excel as its deprecated else I need to persist the data which is not useful and requires additional maintenance.

In agreement with the prior answers - until "Export DSE to Excel" can at the very, very least accept a base template Excel file, I consider that it is nowhere near a sufficient replacement for the two main deprecated "Excel Tools" smart services, both Export CDT... as well as Export SQL..., which have slightly different use cases but generally have a similar level of powerful flexibility.
