This test data shown in the plot above was created from a simple Prony series model - so it is synthetic, or fake, test data.  Synthetic test data can serve a useful purpose, since you know the "right" answer, and in fact you know that the math model will (should) fit the data very well.

The attached Excel file contains the synthetic test data in columns B,C,D.

The model used to create the synthetic data is shown on the right side (columns T, U)

This earlier post shows how to calibrate a Prony series model from DMA test data using Excel:

The video below shows how to calibrate a hyper+Prony model from this DMA test data.  This is a new feature that is not released yet, it will be released with 2020x FD04. Standard caveats apply, this feature may be delayed in its release, or may never be released. This new feature only exists in the analytical mode of calibration. If all you have is DMA test data, you should choose the neo-Hooke hyperelastic model.  

limitation: In the 1st release of this capability, DMA test data can only be used in analytical mode

limitation: In the 1st release of this capability, DMA test data can only be used to calibrate a hyperelastic+Prony series material model.
