What is the best way to export data from a SharePoint List to Excel

Hello all,
As stated in the topic above, my general question is "What is the best way to export data from a SharePoint List to Excel?"
First of all, some information about my app and the stored data. We built the app based on our SharePoint list.

When the app is started, a collection (col_Data) is created, this is transferred directly to the sharepoint list (operational data) via a button. Via a flow I create daily empty data sets, so that the entry for the building can be made in the app. However, the Sharepoint list is only a very roughly summarized version of the Excel table. The data from Sharepoint would then have to be transferred via a process into the Excel list/table (but only in certain columns!).

 

The data from Sharepoint would then have to be entered into the red marked columns of the respective buildings and matching date. This is only a small insight into the very large Excel table.

I hope that someone has a good idea how to implement this or if this can be implemented at all.

    Hi @Crounex ,

     

    I don't think it's achievable that export collection to a complex worksheet table. But, if you can export data to a table that has the same/similar columns structure as this complex table, it will be very easy to manipulate data via copy/paste.

     

    Best regards,

    Hi @v-jefferni,

    and would it be feasible if I create the app based on the excel spreadsheet? Then I would theoretically only need a flow that copies me monthly the data from the Excel spreadsheet or?

    Hi @Crounex ,

     

    The point is still the table structure. If you can use this complex table as data source in your App, of course you can populate data in the App.

    Hi @v-jefferni,

     

    ok i try it with the basis from the table and look how it works.

    Hi @v-jefferni,

    unfortunately it does not work as desired or the display of the Excel table is very poor.
    Do you have an idea how I could implement the concept anyway?
