Hi Chetan,
Good mng!..
If your report is ALV , then no need to write code for that .. Download to EXCEL option is inbuilt.
If your report is classical report...you have to write the program like this...
REPORT ztablexls.
* Developer        : S.Srini.
* Location         : Chennai,
*                  : Tamil Nadu,
*                  : India.
* Date             : 3/10/2001.
* TESTED - MS EXCEL 97
* NOT RECOMMENDED FOR LENGTHY OUTPUT AND LARGE DATA TABLE BROWSING
TABLES: USR03,DD02L.
DATA: ZX030L LIKE X030L.
DATA BEGIN OF ZDFIES OCCURS 0.
     INCLUDE STRUCTURE DFIES.
DATA END OF ZDFIES.
DATA: BEGIN OF FLDITAB OCCURS 0,
      FLDNAME(11) TYPE C,
      END OF FLDITAB.
DATA ITABUSR03 LIKE USR03 OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA TNAME LIKE DD02L-TABNAME.
SELECT * FROM USR03 INTO TABLE ITABUSR03.
TNAME = 'USR03'.
PERFORM GETFIELEDS.
PERFORM SHOW123.
FORM GETFIELEDS.
     CALL FUNCTION 'GET_FIELDTAB'
      EXPORTING

        WHEN 0.
          LOOP AT ZDFIES.
               FLDITAB-FLDNAME = ZDFIES-FIELDNAME.
               APPEND FLDITAB.
          ENDLOOP.
        WHEN OTHERS.
             MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
              with  SY-SUBRC.
      ENDCASE.
ENDFORM.
FORM SHOW123.
CALL FUNCTION 'EXCEL_OLE_STANDARD_DAT'
     EXPORTING
