I have put a dataSet on Parameters,
and I would like export then on excel/CSV file.
dataDS = self.view.params.pData #table.data
system.dataset.exportExcel("test.xls",1, dataDS)

First time I'am tryng to export data. someone can help ? 
You are trying to export a string value to excel. The exportExcel system function expects a dataset.
headers = ['test']
data = [['value']]
dataDS = system.dataset.toDataSet(headers,data)
...
Thank you @dkhayes117
I do this script but I'am getting another error:
headers = []
data = []
DS = self.parent.parent.parent.getChild("CorpEvenement").props.params.Data
for row in DS:
if not headers:
headers = row.keys()
data.append([val for key,val in row.iteritems()])
dataDS= system.dataset.toDataSet(headers,data)
#dataDS = self.parent.parent.parent.getChild("CorpEvenement").props.params.Data #table.data
system.dataset.exportExcel("test.xls",1, dataDS)

exportExcel() will not work in perspective. Use toExcel() instead.

I missed the perspective tag 
I'am gatting the same error
TypeError: can't convert 1 to com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.Dataset
toExcel has different parameters and return value.
Pause.
Take a second.
Use the autocomplete (Ctrl+Space).
Try to solve your own problems.
