How to compress excel inside a zip file

I want to create a functionality where the user downloads a zip file and that zip file contains an excel file.

Hi Tushar
You can use zip extension by Outsystems to create a zip file.
Your question has been answered already here: https://www.outsystems.com/forums/discussion/65749/create-zip-folders-on-export-action/

Hi Tushar,

Note that Excel files are already compressed, so putting a single XLSX in a ZIP file isn't of much use.

To add to what Kilian is saying, it is not only compressed, but it is actually a zip file. Just replace the extension with zip and open it to see.
