Is this you want?
Workbook.SaveAs . This method you can use for saving the workbook.
Server.MapPath. This method gives you Virtual directory path.

You tagged it as ASP.NET. Not sure on how you have exported the data as you have not shared much. Have a look here on how it is done (it saves the excel file too!):

private void ExportGridView() 
{    
System.IO.StringWriter sw = new System.IO.StringWriter();     System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter htw = new System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter(sw);      // Render grid view control.    
 gvFiles.RenderControl(htw);
      // Write the rendered content to a file.   
  string renderedGridView = sw.ToString(); 
    File.WriteAllText(@"C:\Path\On\Server\ExportedFile.xlsx", renderedGridView); }

Hello Richin..I have used the below code for exporting and saving the excel file to folder
Response.Clear();
Response.Buffer = true;
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", header);
Response.Charset = "";
Response.ContentType = contentType;
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
HtmlTextWriter hw = new HtmlTextWriter(sw);

gvdownloaddocuments.AllowPaging = false;
bindata();
gvdownloaddocuments.HeaderRow.Style.Add("background-color", "#FFFFFF");
gvdownloaddocuments.HeaderRow.Cells[0].Visible = false;
for (int i = 0; i < gvdownloaddocuments.HeaderRow.Cells.Count; i++)
{
gvdownloaddocuments.HeaderRow.Cells[i].Style.Add("background-color", "#df5015");
gvdownloaddocuments.HeaderRow.Cells[i].Style.Add("color", "#FFFFFF");
}
gvdownloaddocuments.RenderControl(hw);
Response.Output.Write(sw.ToString());
string renderedGridView = sw.ToString();
File.WriteAllText(@"C:\Documents and Settings\user01\My Documents\Downloads\GridViewExport.xls", renderedGridView);

Response.End();
}

But the file is not getting saved in folder.? Where am i going wrong.?
