Example:

where dsFinal is my Datase and second parameter is the excel file location. Make sure the excel file exist.

Public Sub ExportDatasetToExcel(ByVal ds As DataSet, ByVal strExcelFile As String)

        Dim conn As New OleDbConnection(String.Format("provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source='{0}';" & "Extended Properties='Excel 8.0;HDR=YES;'", strExcelFile))
        conn.Open()

        Dim strTableQ(ds.Tables.Count) As String

        Dim i As Integer = 0

        'making table query
        For i = 0 To ds.Tables.Count - 1

            strTableQ(i) = "CREATE TABLE [" & ds.Tables(i).TableName & "]("

            Dim j As Integer = 0
            For j = 0 To ds.Tables(i).Columns.Count - 1
                Dim dCol As DataColumn
                dCol = ds.Tables(i).Columns(j)
                strTableQ(i) &= " [" & dCol.ColumnName & "] varchar(255) , "
            Next
            strTableQ(i) = strTableQ(i).Substring(0, strTableQ(i).Length - 2)
            strTableQ(i) &= ")"

            Dim cmd As New OleDbCommand(strTableQ(i), conn)
            cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()

        Next

        'making insert query
        Dim strInsertQ(ds.Tables.Count - 1) As String
        For i = 0 To ds.Tables.Count - 1
            strInsertQ(i) = "Insert Into " & ds.Tables(i).TableName & " Values ("
            For k As Integer = 0 To ds.Tables(i).Columns.Count - 1
                strInsertQ(i) &= "@" & ds.Tables(i).Columns(k).ColumnName & " , "
            Next
            strInsertQ(i) = strInsertQ(i).Substring(0, strInsertQ(i).Length - 2)
            strInsertQ(i) &= ")"
        Next

        'Now inserting data
        For i = 0 To ds.Tables.Count - 1
            For j As Integer = 0 To ds.Tables(i).Rows.Count - 1
                Dim cmd As New OleDbCommand(strInsertQ(i), conn)
                For k As Integer = 0 To ds.Tables(i).Columns.Count - 1
                    cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@" & ds.Tables(i).Columns(k).ColumnName.ToString(), ds.Tables(i).Rows(j)(k).ToString())
                Next
                cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
                cmd.Parameters.Clear()

            Next
        Next
    End Sub
