Sending ALV by mail

Question

All,
I know there are lots of threads on this, what I failed to find out that, how to retain the output format in the excel sheet, that we send it to users. I am formating the ALV cells with different colors based on the conditions, can such formatting be retained in the excel sheets.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Check the following sample code:
