Here is some code (Project VBA) that can inspire you:

'This module contains macros which will export
'tasks to excel and keep the task hierarchy.
'modify as necessary to include other task information

Option Explicit
Dim xlRow As Excel.Range
Dim xlCol As Excel.Range
Sub TaskHierarchy()
Dim xlApp As Excel.Application
Dim xlBook As Excel.Workbook
Dim xlSheet As Excel.Worksheet
Dim Proj As Project
Dim t As Task
Dim Asgn As Assignment
Dim ColumnCount as Integer
Dim Columns as Integer
Dim Tcount As Integer

Set xlApp = New Excel.Application
xlApp.Visible = True
AppActivate "Microsoft Excel"

Set xlBook = xlApp.Workbooks.Add
Set xlSheet = xlBook.Worksheets.Add
xlSheet.Name = ActiveProject.Name

'count columns needed
ColumnCount = 0
For Each t In ActiveProject.Tasks
    If Not t Is Nothing Then
        If t.OutlineLevel > ColumnCount Then
            ColumnCount = t.OutlineLevel
        End If
    End If
Next t

'Set Range to write to first cell
Set xlRow = xlApp.ActiveCell
xlRow = "Filename: " & ActiveProject.Name
dwn 1
xlRow = "OutlineLevel"

'label Columns

    Set xlCol = xlRow.Offset(0, Columns - 1)
    xlCol = Columns - 1

            If t.Summary Then
                xlCol.Font.Bold = True
            End If
        For Each Asgn In t.Assignments
