Hi Christwin,


you can export is as a CSV

create a string in the controller that stores the body of the file
and give header column, values seperated by commas
string body = 'Column1,Column2,Column3'+'\n';

then iterate through data
for(i){
body+='valueiForColumn1,valueifroColumn2,valueiforcolumn3'+'\n';
}

convert this string as blob at the finish 
and set the blob value as body of the attchment 

Thanks
