Using Change Layout Tab on ALV to Export to Excel

Question

Hi Forms!
I have an ALV grid that I export to excel to allow users to manipulate the data exported further.
i do this by clicking change layout -> View -> 'Microsoft Excel' -> click on the template you want to use and click the check mark to export.
My problem is I have a header on the ALV that display's the user selection screen options... all my data shows in excel correctly except that my selection screen header which I would expect in the 'Raw Header' Tab in excel.
If I export to excel using excel export button the header shows up, however this does not help as we like using the pivot table setup from the change layout option.
thank you,
Here is my code for producing the header...
ATA: lo_header  TYPE REF TO cl_salv_form_layout_grid,
        lo_h_label TYPE REF TO cl_salv_form_label,
        lo_h_flow  TYPE REF TO cl_salv_form_layout_flow,
        lv_i TYPE i,
        lv_mtart LIKE LINE OF s_mtart,
        lv_auart LIKE LINE OF s_auart,
        lv_bkbez LIKE LINE OF s_bkbez,
        lv_lines TYPE i.
*   header object
  CREATE OBJECT lo_header.
  lo_header->set_column_count( 10 ).
  lo_h_label = lo_header->create_label( row = 1 column = 1 ).
  lo_h_label->set_text( 'Selection Screen Values' ).
*   information in tabular format
  CONCATENATE 'Dates: ' s_date-low  ' ' ' to ' s_date-high ' ' INTO l_text RESPECTING BLANKS.
  lo_h_flow = lo_header->create_flow( row = 2  column = 1 ).
  lo_h_flow->create_text( text = l_text ).
  CONCATENATE 'Plant: ' p_werks ' ' INTO l_text RESPECTING BLANKS.
  lo_h_flow = lo_header->create_flow( row = 3  column = 1 ).
  lo_h_flow->create_text( text = l_text ).
  CONCATENATE 'Costing Variant: ' p_klvar INTO l_text RESPECTING BLANKS.
  lo_h_flow = lo_header->create_flow( row = 4  column = 1 ).
  lo_h_flow->create_text( text = l_text ).
  CONCATENATE 'Costing Version: ' p_tvers INTO l_text RESPECTING BLANKS.
  lo_h_flow = lo_header->create_flow( row = 5  column = 1 ).
  lo_h_flow->create_text( text = l_text ).
*there can be 1 or many Material Types need to check
  DESCRIBE TABLE s_mtart LINES lv_i.
  IF lv_i > 1.
    lv_lines = 1.
    CONCATENATE 'Material Type(s): ' s_mtart-low INTO l_text RESPECTING BLANKS.
    lo_h_flow = lo_header->create_flow( row = 6  column = lv_lines ).
    lo_h_flow->create_text( text = l_text ).
    LOOP AT s_mtart INTO lv_mtart .
      IF lv_lines > 1.
        lo_h_flow = lo_header->create_flow( row = 6  column = lv_lines ).
        lo_h_flow->create_text( text = lv_mtart-low ).
      ENDIF.
      lv_lines = lv_lines + 1.
    ENDLOOP.
  ELSE.
    CONCATENATE 'Material Type(s): ' s_mtart-low INTO l_text RESPECTING BLANKS.
    lo_h_flow = lo_header->create_flow( row = 6  column = 1 ).
    lo_h_flow->create_text( text = l_text ).
  ENDIF.
*   set the top of list using the header for Online.
  cr_content = lo_header.

Hello Re_flex....thanks again but I am missing a step here as I was able to hide the column by right-clicking but when I click on the layout there is no layout that I can select. Do you know if these layouts are set in config or not as my layout setting displays 'X' user specific or 'A' ALL but when I select these nothing is displays and when I save I get a message back 'No selection'
