Clear an excel cell range before export

I have try to follow the steps of a query posted some months ago on the forum, however, I haven't been able to get it. My goal is to delete a range of the excel sheet before exporting the data. In the following image can be seen what I want to delete:1713539865313.png

I have try to make it using the Custom Export on FlexSim but I haven't succeeded. Please can anybody help me with the code for making this possible? For making easier the answer I have upload a sample file with the model and the excel file.

You can do a table query over your currently available data. In section of select you parse column names you want to keep and order. The result will be a new temporary table. This can you cloneTo another global table for export.

Perhaps I haven't explain myself well. What I want is to clear a range of the excel sheet for importing the data of the dahsboards there. So, I need to clear a range before exporting the dashboards of FlexSim.
