Export DataTable
The Export DataTable component exports data from an existing DataTable to an Excel or CSV file, which is stored in the File Manager of the connected project in Robility Flow.
When should I use this?
Use this component when, Data needs to be shared as an Excel or CSV file.
How it works
1. Select the DataTable to be exported.
2. Choose the required export format (Excel or CSV).
3. Specify the output file name.
4. Run the flow to generate the file in the File Manager.

| Export Format* | Specifies the file format for the export. Supported formats are Excel (.xlsx) and CSV (.csv). |
| File Name* | Specifies the name of the output file, including the appropriate file extension. |

Stop Workflow – Halts workflow execution. Continue – Skips this step and continues without passing the error downstream. Continue Using Error Output – Continues execution and routes error details through the error output handle. |
