'HTML Code to Trigger Download on a Webpage

I'm trying to write a program that does the following in HTML.

Creates a button that links to a webpage. Inside the webpage there is a button that triggers an Excel file download.

I'd like my code to open the link and download the file in one click.

P.S. I already created the button that opens webpage.

Open to other language solutions.

Thanks!

I have created this for you. I have tested it as well.

 <a href="location-to-your-excel.xls">
      <button>
        ButtonName
      </button>
 </a>

You need to put your excel file in the project folder also. Hope it helps! Cheers from Hungary.
