Changing layout of ALV to excel

Question

Hello,
I am developing an ALV report.
I want my data in the excel format, and not in the standard ALV format.
Is there any method to do so?
I have used the CL_GUI_ALV_GRID class, and I found out a method:-
Maintain_Variant.
Also ,there is an attirbute:- MMC_FC_VIEW_EXCEL.
But I am unable to implement them in my program.
Kindly help me.
Points assured for helpful answers.
Thanks and regards,
Prerna

Hi Prerna,
Good .. Check out the example code - Important
<b>Multi-colored output of ALV in EXCEL
There would be many situations where we need to highlight some of the records in bold or different color depending on some value. In this document, we showcase how this can be achieved. Look at the screenshot of an excel sheet with different colors and bold in some cells.
Following is a demo program in achieving the same:
Report ZMULTICOLOR_TEST no standard page heading.
this report demonstrates how to send some ABAP data to an
EXCEL sheet using OLE automation.
include ole2incl.
handles for OLE objects
data: h_excel type ole2_object,        " Excel object
      h_mapl type ole2_object,         " list of workbooks
      h_map type ole2_object,          " workbook
      h_zl type ole2_object,           " cell
      h_f type ole2_object,            " font
      h_c type ole2_object.            " color
