If you only have numerics in your cluster, you can convert this cluster to an array of numerics.
You find this function in Cluster/cluster to array.
If you have arrays of numeric in your cluster you should unbundle these and add to each other before you use write to spreadsheet file.
Attention this does not generate an excel file but a tab delimited text file. This is readable by labview and also by excel.

If your purpose is to simply restore a previous set of values from one session to another, or to provide a choice of different data sets, your easiest method is a flattened string file.

Just wire your cluster array into the Flatten To String function and into Write Characters To File VI.

To read the file, just wire Read Characters From File into Unflatten From String. Use the empty cluster array indicator as the data type.

Another option is to write an XML file, but that requires LV61 or the OpenG toolset.
