Hi team,

I have a screen that consists of charts (Range, Average, Histogram) and corresponding data in a table (dataset). I need to download the above as an Excel file. Is there any way to download this as an Excel file?

Thanks in advance.

You can use the Apache POI libraries to explicitly manipulate Excel workbooks in scripts, including creating from scratch, if the native [system.dataset.toExcel()](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/appendix/scripting-functions/system-dataset/system-dataset-toExcel) isn't sufficient for your needs.
