Answer 1

to generate xls file from json files you should done those steps

1. Read file
2. Parse JSON file ( Json.NET is the best) to your c# Class object.
3. Choose xls framework(using Open XML SDK or anyone which do you find)
4. Use structure from step 2 to fill columns and rows in xls file using framework API from step 3.

Answer 2

If you already have a datatable, then you can convert a data table to a spreadsheet as easy as pie using EPPLus. The code could be as simple as this:

FileInfo f = new FileInfo("filename.xlsx");
ExcelPackage package = new ExcelPackage(f);

ExcelWorksheet ws = package.Workbook.Worksheets.Add("Data");
ws.Cells["A1"].LoadFromDataTable(table, true);

If you have some special handling, for date formats and such, it might be moderately more work, but not much.

From Nuget:

Install-Package EPPlus

If you've ever worked with Excel Interop, you will love how much easier EPPlus is to work with.
