Minimize the number of puzzles you need to solve at once, focus on what's essential: read Tamriel Trade Centre data and export it as an Excel spreadsheet (aka a text file, either comma-separated or tab separated).

You don't need to write an add-on to do that. Just a stand-alone script that loads SavedVariables/TamrielTradeCentre.lua and then uses the data stored in that file to populate a text file.

Then the only puzzles you're left with are
* how to write a stand-alone Lua script
* that can read a SavedVariables file
* and write a text file
* and understands whatever format/table/arrangement is within that SavedVariables
