Is there a permission or security for system.dataset.exportExcel?  
the fileName i wish to have is not displaying  
It should be like this “WPRIMAL04\_27\_2020.xls”

table = event.source.parent.getComponent(‘warehouseTable’)  
fileName = “WPRIMAL” + str(system.date.format(system.date.now(),“MM\_dd\_yyyy”))  
print fileName  
filePath = system.dataset.exportExcel(fileName, 1, table.data)  
if filePath != None:  
system.net.openURL(“file://”+filePath)

Hello, what version of Ignition are you using ?  
I had the same problem with Ignition 8.0.0 but upgrading to a newer version corrected that bug.
