You can't use excel to get json data from dhis2 web api.  At least not directly.

You could possibly write an excel macro to "get" the data through the
web api (I am really not sure - it is far too many years since i wrote
an excel macro), but you are still left with the problem of consuming
what you have got (json) into cells in a spreadsheet.

I believe all (or certainly almost all) of the data which is available
as json is also available as csv.  If you are looking at getting dhsi2
data into excel in general, I would look at csv rather than json if
you want to minimize the processing/transformation that would
otherwise have to happen in between getting the data and consuming it.
