Hi Sagar,

For this, we need to use “Microsoft Excel Writer” step. Following are the configuration you need to do:  
“File & sheet” tab:

1. Select “Use existing file for writing” in “If output file exists” property.
2. Select “write to existing sheet” in "If sheet exists in output file  
“Content” tab:
3. Select the check the box of "Start writing at end of sheet (appending lines).
