Hi @blazino17
Hope you are doing well,
First copy the columns of the main collection to a Temporary collection and follow below steps,
Delete the columns other than the "Required Column" from Temporary collection :
The output will be as follows :

Now to append data from the extracted collection to the column in the excel lets say "Excel Column" below steps can be followed:
Once you open excel workbook search for Excel Column
Go to next empty cell down in that column
Now write the data from collection in that column, mark Include Column Names flag as False to exclude the column name from collection
