Hi @AP_9587236.

 

There is no OOTB solution for generating an Excel file.  You would have to write your own or you can talk to our Sales team about hiring one of our consultants to write it for you.

 

Excel does support importing csv files.  Are you expecting to be able to manipulate the spreadsheet before displaying in a mashup?  If not, you already have the data in ThingWorx so you could throw that into an infotable and display it in your Mashup via the Advanced Grid widget.  There is also a ReadCSVFile service that would allow you to import a CSV file created in Excel that can then be displayed in your mashup via the grid.
