I recently answered a question regarding exporting the list of Joomla users to CSV - export user details from database via cron. The same code can be used for exporting data from any Joomla table. As far as invoking this PHP code from an article - look into Jumi extension - https://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/extension/core-enhancements/coding-a-scripts-integration/jumi.
