The code for "Export All Data to CSV" uses a function_s command:

treenode focus = node("..>viewfocus+", ownerobject(c));
function_s(focus, "exportData", 1);

You could do something similar, but you need an open/active Dashboard to do it, like this:

treenode AnActiveDashboard = views().find("active>Documents/Dashboard/1+");
 
if (AnActiveDashboard != NULL) {
    function_s(ownerobject(AnActiveDashboard), "exportData", 1);
}

But if you are putting this in a button on a Dashboard, that will guarantee there is an active Dashboard.

Also, since it is a function_s command, there is no guarantee it will work in future versions of the software.

You can try creating a button in Dashboard and then adding the following custom code to the "OnPress" parameter for the button.

treenode link = node("..>objectfocus+", c);
/**Custom Code*/
Object current = ownerobject(c);
 
Array tableNames;
for (int i = 1; i <= Model.find("Tools/StatisticsCollectors").subnodes.length; i++){
tableNames.push(Model.find("Tools/StatisticsCollectors").subnodes[i].name);
}
 
for (int i = 1; i <= tableNames.length; i++) {
string tableName = tableNames[i];
//Make sure that there is a file named "Model Run Results" within the same directory as the FlexSim Model.
string fileName = modeldir() + "Model Run Results/" + tableName + ".csv";
 
Table.query("SELECT * FROM [" + tableName + "]").cloneTo(Table("GlobalTable1"));
exporttable(Table("GlobalTable1"), fileName, 1);
}
