I tried to export the current sheet as CSV by clicking "Export to CSV" button but nothing happen
It is expected to see the dialog
If it does downloading automatically, which location should I check to see the exported file

Sorry I wasn't getting notifications for this repo. I reproduced this in Excel for Windows 10.

Thanks for bringing up this issue. It is a rather annoying bug. I came across this exact problem when I tested it on my Mac a while ago. https://github.com/OfficeDev/office-js/issues/471 It used to be fixed, but now it doesn't work on Mac and Windows.

The export to file feature has always worked on Excel Online, so do consider using that if you are able.

I disabled file exporting for desktop platforms because getting the JS file API to work properly with Excel is a nightmare.
