These sorts of 'it doesn't work' posts are frustrating for all concerned. Here, for example, I can't replicate the problem you describe. At all. I tried MARK on 7 different computers, 2 different operating systems (Win 7 and Win 10), and 2 different flavours of Excel (2016, 2019). Heck, I even tried it under Win 10 running in a virtual machine on one of my Linux boxes. Worked properly, every single time.
So, the problem is likely 'something on your machine'. Best I can suggest is...boot your system into safe mode, start MARK (and only MARK), and try the export. If it works, then the problem is something (or, many things) that are running on your machine when running in 'normal' model. If that is the case, you're sort of on your own to do the detective work to figure out what is conflicting with the export DDE between MARK and Excel. I had a student once where an issue was caused by something as obscure as a slightly out of date sound driver.
But, worst case scenario: MARK -> clipboard -> Excel should always work.
