Can you provide your data in a mat file?

"not working" is no clear description of the problem. Di you get an error message? If so, which one?
I cannot guess what you expect as output in Excel for a nested struct. What do you want to see there?

Okay, so suppose I have a table that contains a variable named node and node is a 1 x 5 struct. And suppose that node is
t = table(struct('Label', {'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E'}, 'X', [1, 2, 3, 1 2], 'Y', [1, 4, 3, 2,4]), 5, 'variablenames', {'node', 'numNode'})
So.. how should this be represented in Excel?

You would have to encode each struct entry in "node" as text. There is a limit of 32767 characters per cell entry in Excel.
struct can be arbitrarily complex. If you have an external interface definition for encoding structures, then use that. If you do not -- if you just need to be able to read the struct back from excel into MATLAB and no other program needs to access it, then you could use https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/34564-fast-serialize-deserialize
