SharePoint Export to Excel is not working in Google Chrome, while it is working fine in Internet Explorer.

In SharePoint, Export To Excel functionality is supported only in IE browser.
This functionality requires Active X control which Chrome and Firefox doesn't support.
You can find more details on this here
Buddy, you're going to have to use an alternative method because SharePoint's Export to Excel feature will give you the user experience you desire only within Internet Explorer 8, 9, and 10, per Microsoft's own documentation at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/SharePoint/install/browser-support-planning#supportmatrix. However, the answer given in this other StackOverflow question might be just what you need because it does work in Chrome:
Export html table data to Excel using JavaScript / JQuery is not working properly in chrome browse
The answer basically involves the use of a custom JavaScript function to present similar functionality to what you're looking for.
Export to Excel will not work in Chrome for some lists as it requires a compatible application. Alternatively, you could view in QUICK VIEW – or “edit the list” and while in this view, copy and paste the data to Excel.

Is it possible to make web requests to an external url to grab data or post data to?
This way you can easily get data from external API's.
Here's the document to doing web requests in Office Scripts
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/excel/custom-functions-web-reqs?view=word-js-preview
Please note that there is JavaScript for Office Add-ins (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/?view=word-js-preview) and should be tagged #office-js.
This type of JavaScript can be used in different Office applications (web and desktop) to create add-ins that will work in both web apps and desktop applications.
This Office JavaScript API can be explored using Script Lab.
The tag #Office-Scripts reference Office Scripts for Excel on the web (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/scripts/) which is also in preview and currently only available in Excel on the Web.
It can be enabled from the Admin portal of Microsoft365 (Formerly Office 365) under Settings/Settings and appears in Excel on the Web as a new tab called Automation.
It gives users the possibility to record macros and create scripts via the Office Scripts editor pane. Office-Scripts for Excel on the Web uses TypeScript. It is more limited in its scope than Office Add-in JavaScript.
So, to answer the question with regards to Office-Scripts for Excel on the Web, and as stated in the documentation, it is currently not possible to reference external API.

I am working on Excel add-in but I am new in office.js.
I would like to know if there is a way to set a browser different from IE 11 as default browser to open the add-in.
I saw the same question on URL below, but I didn´t find if the API mentioned on the answer was developed.
How to set the default browser in word addin
I'm afraid that there is currently no API to determine which browser is used when the add-in is running in desktop Office on Windows. (If it is running in Office Online, then of course it opens in whatever browser you are using.)
I´m new to the addins, just want to perform a simple task as creating a button with a link in the taskbar that opens a browser and that´s it.
So far created the project based on ms tutorial and everything is working great (with fixed certificate problems).
To my understand this should be as easy as to create a button with an ExecuteFuncion actions mapping to a javascript function with a window.open
e.g.
function windowOpen(event)
{
window.open("https://www.microsoft.com");
event.completed();
}
Thanks for the help,
Regards,
André
For security reasons, Outlook does not support window.open directly inside of Add-ins. To open a window in an Outlook Add-in you can use the displayDialogAsync API (documentation here.) We recommend this guide to understand end-to-end usage of displaying a dialog in an Add-in.
I have a problem with SAP WEBGUI when I try to export my ALV in Excel file.
So I used the button Local File. When I choose
and I press confirm button, nothing happens. After this operation, any other button doesn't work.
Can you help me? I'm using WEBGUI on Google Chrome
Does it work in SAP GUI itself?
Can you look at the network traffic / console of your browser and see what happens during export?
SAP has special note 314568 concerning limitations of SAP-GUI for HTML.
There, in particular, it is stated that:
Excel-Export available via "XML-export" Other export options are not
provided by the ALV framework in a Web environment
So use XML-export and paste its contents into Excel file.
P.S. Here is the old version of the above note, if you have no S-user.
I am using Sharepoint Excel services to produce reports, and noticed that when users download their excel services workbooks as a snapshot, any page breaks set up in the original spreadsheet are lost. I cant seem to find any mention of this problem in any sharepoint forums or microsoft, just wondering if anyone else has experienced this or even has a solution? Thanks
A lot of information and functions of the workbook are not available in Excel Services.
Also the Snapshot does not "remember" such settings like page break or in my case landscape orientation for printing.
Here are some references for what is supported and what is not supported:
