Hi Chow,
The workitem displaying the report must be part of some method of your BOR. This method must be either a ABAP program or function module depending on your requirement. In the same function module or ABAP program, you can have the code for downloading the data in excel.
Kindly find the following code for doing so. Here the file will be created on the desktop of your manager and the data will be downloaded into this excel as the program/function module gets executed in workitem. Here pass the output internal table to DATA_TAB.
CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>GUI_DOWNLOAD
  EXPORTING
    FILENAME                  = 'C:Documents and Settings999999Desktopdemo.xls'
    FILETYPE                  =  'DBF'  
    WRITE_FIELD_SEPARATOR     = 'X'
*    HEADER                    = '00'
*    TRUNC_TRAILING_BLANKS     = SPACE
*    WRITE_LF                  = 'X'
  CHANGING
    DATA_TAB                  = lt_datatab.
Hope this helps you.
