According to the API reference of sap/ui/export/Spreadsheet, the dataSource setting object awaits one of the following arguments:

• Map of data source properties, // See API reference for available options
• URL to an OData service
• JSON array

But in your code, the aProduct, which is assigned to the dataSource, is a reference to the "A" model which is invalid.

The dataSource should be set, depending on the model type, accordingly:

With ODataModel

const odataListBinding = this.byId("myResponsiveTable").getBinding("items");
const serviceEntryPath = "/sap.app/dataSources/<sourceName>/uri"; // See manifest.json for <sourceName>
const serviceUrl = this.getOwnerComponent().getManifestEntry(serviceEntryPath);

{ // Constructor settings of sap/ui/export/Spreadsheet
  dataSource: {
    type: "OData",
    useBatch: true,
    serviceUrl: serviceUrl,
    headers: odataListBinding.getModel().getHeaders(),
    dataUrl: odataListBinding.getDownloadUrl(), // serviceUrl + "/Orders" + added queries ($expand, $select, ...)
    count: odataListBinding.getLength(),
    sizeLimit: /*e.g.*/1000,
  },
  worker: true, // false if working with mock server or if CSP is enabled.
  fileName: "myExportedDataFromODataV2.xlsx"
}

Note: Please make sure that the corresponding $expand parameter is included in the dataUrl. Otherwise, nested properties won't be exported.

With client-side models (e.g. JSONModel)

{ // Constructor settings of sap/ui/export/Spreadsheet
  dataSource: myJSONModel.getProperty("/SomeCollection"), // returns an array
  fileName: "myExportedDataFromPlainJSON.xlsx"
}
