You are recreating the excel file for every WebElement in the outer for loop, and write its text over and over in the inner for loop. You need to create the file before the for and use only one loop

File source = new File("/home/dev2/Desktop/readexcell.xlsx");
FileOutputStream input = new FileOutputStream(source);
XSSFWorkbook wb = new XSSFWorkbook();
XSSFSheet sheet = wb.createSheet("data");

List<WebElement> xpath11 = m.findElements(By.xpath(".//tr[contains(@id, 'rcmrow')]"));
int count = xpath11.size();
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
    String sd = xpath11.get(i).getText();
    System.out.println(sd);
    XSSFRow excelRow = sheet.createRow(i);
    XSSFCell excelCell = excelRow.createCell(0);
    excelCell.setCellType(CellType.STRING);
    excelCell.setCellValue(sd);
}

wb.write(input);
