I would like ArcGIS Experience Builder to provide a native Export to Excel (.xlsx) capability for data displayed in widgets such as the Table widget.

This enhancement would simplify reporting and data sharing while reducing the need for custom widgets or external tools.

Exporting to CSV is already supported. This is a non-proprietary file format that is easily read and converted by lots of software including Excel.

Thanks for pointing that out. CSV works well for many workflows, but many users ultimately need an .xlsx file and end up opening the CSV in Excel and saving it again

CSV export is a useful workaround, but one challenge is that CSV files are not fully standardized in practice. The separator character (comma, semicolon, etc.) often depends on the user's regional and local settings. As a result, opening a CSV file directly in Excel can sometimes lead to incorrect column parsing and require manual import steps.

A native XLSX export would provide a more consistent experience across locales, preserve data types and formatting, and avoid these interoperability issues.
