Row to column conversion during excel download

Question

Dear Experts,
I have an internal table with one column.
It has some entries say ten.
I want this ten rows of entries to be displayed in the excel sheet as a single row. It means each row entry of the internal table should fit in to each cell.
Is there any possibility with GUI_DOWNLOAD FM to do this?
If not, then how could i do that?
Please let me know its urgent.
Regards,
Shashi

Hi,
i m not aware of whether it can be done through FM 'GUI_DOWNLOAD' but i have one sugeestion.
You can first transpose your internal table and then download it.
Sample code for obtaining the transpose is as follows:
*& Report Z_TRANPOSEALV *
*& Author : Swarna.S.
*& AS: This simple ALV report display is in a transposed way
*& Publised at ****************
REPORT Z_TRANSPOSEALV .
Type pools declaration for ALV
TYPE-POOLS: slis.
*Declarations for ALV, dynamic table and col no for transpose
DATA: l_col TYPE sy-tabix,
l_structure TYPE REF TO data,
l_dyntable TYPE REF TO data,
wa_lvc_cat TYPE lvc_s_fcat,
lt_lvc_cat TYPE lvc_t_fcat,
lt_fieldcatalogue TYPE slis_t_fieldcat_alv,
wa_fieldcat TYPE slis_fieldcat_alv,
lt_fieldcat TYPE slis_t_fieldcat_alv,
lt_layout TYPE slis_layout_alv.
*Field symbols declarations
FIELD-SYMBOLS :
<header> TYPE ANY,
<dynheader> TYPE ANY,
<dyndata> TYPE ANY,
<ls_table> TYPE ANY,
<dynamictable> TYPE STANDARD TABLE,
<it_table> TYPE STANDARD TABLE.
*Input the name of the table
PARAMETERS p_table TYPE dd02l-tabname OBLIGATORY.
*Initialization event
INITIALIZATION.
*Start of selection event
START-OF-SELECTION.
Create internal table of dynamic type
CREATE DATA l_dyntable TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF (p_table)
WITH NON-UNIQUE DEFAULT KEY.
ASSIGN l_dyntable->* TO <it_table>.
*select statement to select data from the table as input into
*our dynamic internal table.
*Here i have restricted only till 5 rows.
*You can set a variable and give no of rows to be fetched
*The variable can be set in your select statement
SELECT * INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE <it_table>
FROM (p_table) up to 5 rows.
*Fieldcatalogue definitions
wa_lvc_cat-fieldname = 'COLUMNTEXT'.
wa_lvc_cat-ref_table = 'LVC_S_DETA'.
APPEND wa_lvc_cat TO lt_lvc_cat.

wa_fieldcat-ref_tabname = 'LVC_S_DETA'.
wa_fieldcat-key = 'X'..
APPEND wa_fieldcat TO lt_fieldcat.
DESCRIBE TABLE <it_table>.
DO sy-tfill TIMES.
For each line, a column 'VALUEx' is created in the fieldcatalog
Build Fieldcatalog
WRITE sy-index TO wa_lvc_cat-fieldname LEFT-JUSTIFIED.
CONCATENATE 'VALUE' wa_lvc_cat-fieldname
INTO wa_lvc_cat-fieldname.

wa_lvc_cat-ref_table = 'LVC_S_DETA'.
