Downloading problem in classical report

Question

Hello Experts,
I had made one Z classical report. The output of the report is absolutely perfect.
The problem is when I am downloading this file as spreadsheet or HTML formatt, then the Item level data is coming one column forward.
Like, suppose these are four columns of my report,then in excel sheet data is appearing as:
S.no          Ref no.                    date                  name
                   1                        900556               22/11/2011          ABC
                   2                        900567               22/11/2011          XYZ
But the data in output of the report is showing correctly.
How should I correct this.
Please help.

Hi shubh,
Use concatenate and pass all the header data into one string. Use cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab
In your case
Concatenate
u2018S.Nou2019  cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab
u2018Ref NOu2019 cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab
Into w_string
cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline
      into text.
For item data also use same procedure.
Structure-s.no  cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab
Into text.
And use the below function
call function 'SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING'
    exporting
      text   = text
    importing
      buffer = xtext.  wdr_task=>client_window->client->attach_file_to_response(
**path to the word file
    i_filename = 'WDP.xls'
String Variable
    i_content =  xtext
File Type
    i_mime_type = 'EXCEL' ).
Thanks are Regards.
