Syntax

Parameters

Parameter Name	Type	Description	Optional?	Default Value
DataSourceName	String	The name of the data source whose values you want to export.	No	n/a
FilterName	String	The name of a filter associated with the specified data source. Only rows returned by the filter will be exported to the Excel document. If you don't want to apply a filter to the results, use an empty string as this argument.	No	n/a
ColumnDefinitionGroupPath	String	The name of the markup asset that defines the structure of the intended spreadsheet.	No	n/a
FileName	String	The intended file name - including extension - for the generated spreadsheet.	Yes	"DataSourceExport.xls"
Refresh	Boolean	Determines whether the data source will be refreshed prior to the export process. If no refresh takes place, the resulting spreadsheet will use the current data source cache.	Yes	0
ModelReference	String	The model reference associated with the chosen data source. If the function is called by a model, it assumes the data source exists within that model, so you do not need to specify a reference unless the data source exists in a different model on the same repository; if the function is called outside the context of a model - for example, in a web page expression or via the DATASOURCE element tag - you must specify the model containing the data source.	Yes (see Description)	""

Output

If successful, the function will return a value of True; otherwise, depending on the reason for the failure, it will either return a descriptive error message or a value of False.
