Hi , @Anonymous
According to your description, you have got an array from sql server in Power Automate.
If you want to export to Excel dynamically, you can follow this video to create the flow. You need first create a blank Template Excel file.

Hi , @Anonymous
If you want to rename the created file name , you can just modify the fileName in the create file action:

The Graph API is for the "write to Excel" part. To download data from an SQL source you can use a standard connector.
