By data table values, what do you mean?  Is this a Table type variable in Project.Variables?

If so, you can write an iterative for-loop using the table count as the index and use aqFile object to opena and write to a CSV file the values in the table.

Hi @Krishna_Kumar,

You'll need to work with Excel's COM object. There are many examples in the Community - try searching for them. Here is one of topics:

Hi @TanyaYatskovska  and @tristaanogre ,

Thank you very much.

i was able to export the data table values to an external excel successfully by using the ole object concepts.

But it would be good if you provide information about how to retrive the datatable column names, because i am able to retrive only the column values.

waiting for your response.

Column names from where? from an Excel file?

@TanyaYatskovska ,

from project suite variable (Table variable).

A table variable has two properties/methods: ColumnCount and ColumnName.  ColumnName has a parameter for the index of the column, 0 based.  So Project.Variables.tableVar.ColumnName(0) will return the column name of the first column in the table.  Using ColumnCount, you could build a for-loop to iterate through the columns and document the names.
